Barks Library Special - Oma Duck #1
This volume collects the first series of Oma Duck stories from the Barks Library Special line, published by Egmont Ehapa in 2003. It focuses on the adventures of Grandma Duck, a beloved character from the Duck universe, featuring classic tales by Carl Barks and other creators. The collection brings together humorous and heartwarming stories centered on farm life and family dynamics in Duckburg.
A classic Carl Barks tale from the Barks Library Special series, this 2003 Egmont Ehapa edition features Donald Duck and his nephews in a humorous adventure titled "Dumbos grosse Nummer." The story is written by Vic Lockman and Erika Fuchs, with artwork and inks by the legendary Carl Barks, and lettering by Frans Stummer. The cover, also by Barks, captures the playful spirit of the tale.
In "Emilie," Scrooge pays a visit to Grandma's farm under the guise of a business trip, but his real plan is to savor her famous cooking—until his cover slips when he rushes to save a hen from a chicken hawk. The moment he acts, his carefully crafted deception begins to unravel.
In "Hahnemann kann nichts dafür," Gyro builds a clever mechanical weather-vane for Grandma's farm, but when her goat gets curious, the device starts sending wildly inaccurate forecasts—leaving everyone scrambling to figure out what’s really going on.
In "Die Schacowboys," the nephews find themselves on an unexpected ride when their horse bolts, leading them to leap onto a flock of sheep—only to discover the animals follow their lead. Trapped in a gully, they soon face a familiar threat when the Big Bad Wolf appears, turning their wild ride into a tense standoff.
In "Ländliches Treiben," the nephews struggle to adapt to the slow pace of rural life, especially the silence of the night, while Grandma remains unimpressed by their complaints. When they stumble upon a letter from one of her creditors, they leap to the conclusion that her farm is in danger—though whether that’s true or not remains uncertain.
