review 1: Humorous and classic, Carl Barks shines again in this 1953 compilation of Uncle Scrooge comics; he generally follows the formula of having Donald and the three nephews help him out of various jams, mostly involving hiding his large fortune from thieves, generally the notorious Beagle Boys, who employ all manners of ways to steal it. They go to the Klondike, Atlantis and the Himalayan kingdom of "Tralla La" on various adventures. Timeless.
review 2: Barks was a true master, both in his art and writing. Perhaps it is because I've been indoctrinated by Disney characters and humor my whole life, but I was surprised how entertaining and funny this was considering how long ago it was written and drawn. Often when I read or watch things that were made years ago ther... moree is a generational disconnect that I need to over-come or ignore in order to enjoy it. Such was not the case with this book. less
