The Call of the Wild is a comic story featuring Gyro Gearloose and a certain "Mister Hunter".
Plot[]
It's moose-hunting season, so it seems, and the woods are filled with hunters using moose calls that sound strangely un-mooselike. Annoyed with the "stupid sounds" of ordinary moose calls, "Mister Hunter" enlists the help of inventor Gyro Gearloose, offering to pay him to create a moose call that actually sounds like a moose. Gyro's genius makes it certain that such a call will indeed be invented, but will the new Gearloose moose call maybe be too good?
Behind the scenes[]
The Call of the Wild was written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks. The story was completed on October the 19th, 1959 and was released roughly seven months later in May of 1960 in an edition of Gyro Gearloose, the comic bearing the name of the story's main character.[1]
