Studiocomix Classics Collection – The Man Who Would Be King

Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King (1888) is the story of two British soldiers and adventurers who leave India, and cross the border into a land known as Kafiristan (now an actual region in Afghanistan) to set themselves up as kings. Despite the harsh terrain, unfamiliar people, and strange customs they succeed, only for their adventure to end in tragedy when they push their luck too far. A tale of high adventure, and the basis for a successful film, Kipling’s tale is a fantastical story full of thrilling imagery in a wondrous land. (ISBN: 978-099-399-8928)
