Complete story composed of 32 original comic arts created by Caprioli for "Wild Yukon", published for the first time in Il Vittorioso from issue no. 1 at no. 14 in 1960. The story narrates the hunt in the snows of Canada for the murderer of a gold prospector across the Yukon River, among sleds, canoes, Indians, redcoats and wild animals. The story gives Caprioli the opportunity to illustrate the wild nature of Canada, the difficult movements between the ice, the Redcoats, the Indian camps, and then the fauna, with moose, reindeer, bears. The true protagonist of the story is not the sea but the great Yukon river, illustrated in all its aspects. Signed on many pages.
