| Summary: | After serving a stint at the Walt Disney Studios, Carl Barks began drawingthe comic-book adventures of Donald Duck in 1942. He alternated between longish,sprawling 20- or 30-page adventure yarns filled with the romance of danger,courage, and derring-do, whose exotic locales spanned the globe, and shorterstories that usually revolved around crazily ingenious domestic squabblesbetween Donald and members of the Duckburg cast. Highlights include:<br> *The title story, "Lost in the Andes" (Barks's own favorite). Donald and thenephews embark on an expedition to Peru to find where square eggs come from onlyto meet danger in a mysterious valley whose inhabitants all speak with asouthern drawl, and where Huey, Dewey, and Louie save Unca' Donald's life bylearning how to blow square bubbles!<br> * Two stories co-starring theunbearably lucky Gladstone, including the epic "Race to the South Seas," asDonald and Gladstone try to win Uncle Scrooge's favor by being the first torescue him from a desert island.<br> * Two Christmas stories, including"The Golden Christmas Tree," one of Barks's most fantastic stories that pits himand the nephews against a witch who wants to destroy all the Christmas trees inthe world.<br> * In other stories, Donald plays a TV quiz show contestantand ends up encased in a giant barrel of gelatin, a truant officer who matcheswits with his nephews, and a ranch hand who outwits cattle rustlers.<br> |
