In this collection of short comics by the world-renowned Carl
Barks, Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and the nephews go on a wild parrot
chase, among other adventures.
Carl Barks delivers another
superb collection of clever plot twists, laugh-out-loud comedy, and
all-around cartooning brilliance. Donald gives Uncle Scrooge a parrot
for his birthday but the feathered troublemaker escapes with the
combination to Scrooge’s safe holding “ninety tons of money.” Hijinks
ensue as Donald and his nephews set off on an unexpected adventure to
recover the lovesick bird. Then, Donald and the boys are shanghaied by a
mysterious stranger, who whisks them off to face perils in the desert
in “Ancient Persia,” where they uncover a lost city—and its
reconstituted inhabitants! And Barks cuts loose from his regular panel
designs to deliver one of his finest stories, “Vacation Time” (it has
its own Wikipedia page), as Donald displays unusual depths of courage
and heroism when he has to rescue Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a wilderness
outing gone wrong. Full color illustrations throughout
