With this volume, The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library loops back to Barks's earlier days, collecting the entirety of Bark's (astounding) 1948 output. The title story, The Old Castle's Secret, is notable not just for being the first full-length 32-page adventure instigated by Scrooge McDuck (in his second-ever appearance), but for featuring some of Bark's spookiest, lushest settings in old Clan McDuck castle of Dismal Downs. The other long story, The Sheriff of Bullet Valley, plunks Donald and the nephews in the Wild West, with Donald as an overconfident deputy having to deal with some high-tech rustlers. The book also includes the less-known In Darkest Africa, originally published in a giveaway and unreleased for decades. This volume also features an even 10 of Bark's dynamic Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 10-pagers, including Wintertime Wager (the first appearance of a not-yet-lucky-but-still-obnoxious Gladstone Gander); Spoil the Rod (in which the exquisitely named educational professor Pulpheart Clabberhead is brought in to help tame the nephews); Rocket Race to the Moon (a rare full-on adventure interplanetary, no less in the short form); Gladstone Returns and Links Highjinks (two more Gladstone yarns); and five more stories... plus a half-dozen hilarious one-page gags. Of course, once again all the stories have been shot from crisp originals, then re-colored (and printed) to match, for the first time since their original release over 60 years ago, the colorful yet soft hues of the originals and of course the book is rounded off with essays about Barks, the Ducks, and these specific stories by Barks experts from all over the world.

Uncle Scrooge, the Richest Duck in the World, is back―and so are noisy nephew Donald, wunderkinder Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and rascally richnik Flintheart Glomgold! Don Rosa, thanks to his Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics, is among the world’s most beloved contemporary cartoonists. Following in the footsteps of Disney legend Carl Barks, the cartoonist launched his career in 1987, with an exciting, lovingly detailed visual style all his own. Famed for his Eisner Award-winning “Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck,” Rosa is an international fan favorite and drew a whopping two decades’ worth of ripping Scrooge and Donald yarns! We're proud to present his Duck adventures in complete, chronological order for the first time. This volume of comic book stories includes the titular story about Scrooge’s and Flintheart’s epic battle for Inca gold; “Crocodile Collector,” about Donald’s pursuit of a rare reptile; and “Last Sled to Dawson,” Rosa’s sequel to Barks’ classic “Back to the Klondike”―featuring the return of Scrooge’s old flame, Glittering Goldie O’Gilt! “Cash Flow” brings back the Beagle Boys, too!
