Disney Comics Album #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume from the Disney Comics Album series collects a selection of classic Donald Duck and Gyro Gearloose stories, showcasing the inventive misadventures of Gyro's wild gadgets and Donald's often-frustrated reactions. The collection highlights the duo's dynamic, with Gyro's brilliant but unpredictable inventions leading to comedic chaos for Donald and his nephews.
In "The Think Box Bollix," Donald Duck and his ragtag crew of nephews take on the annual Fishermen's Gold Cup aboard the notoriously unseaworthy schooner Daffy-O, all to prove themselves for Uncle Scrooge. With the odds stacked against them and a mysterious "secret device" from Scrooge as their only advantage—its true purpose still a mystery—Donald must navigate the treacherous waters and the fierce competition. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, with lettering by Garé Barks, this classic tale features a delightfully chaotic adventure anchored by Barks’ signature humor and storytelling flair. The cover, by Daan Jippes, captures the spirited chaos of the race in bold, expressive lines.
When Donald's nephews accidentally spill India ink on his white tablecloth, they turn to Gyro for help—only to trigger a mix-up that sends a shipment of his new dye straight to Donald’s doorstep. Thinking it’s his long-awaited bug powder, Donald prepares to spray it across Duckburg’s reservoir, unaware of the colorful chaos about to erupt.
In "The Madcap Mariner," Donald Duck takes the helm of the rickety schooner Daffy-O, racing against seasoned fishermen in the annual Fishermen's Gold Cup to win for Uncle Scrooge—no matter the odds. With a ragtag crew of nephews and a mysterious "secret device" from Scrooge that Donald doesn’t fully understand, the voyage promises chaos, wit, and the kind of slapstick sea-faring mayhem only Disney’s funny animals can deliver.
