About this Collection

This volume of the Disney Masters series collects classic Uncle Scrooge stories by Italian cartoonist Romano Scarpa, including the title tale 'Pie in the Sky.' In the lead adventure, Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie face off against a sky-high scheme involving a mysterious pie recipe, while Donald Duck adds his usual chaos to the mix. The collection showcases Scarpa's signature blend of humor, adventure, and intricate artwork from his celebrated run on the character.

In "Pie in the Sky," Donald Duck is determined to enjoy a dignified breakfast—tea, toast, and honey—only to face a bee-filled crisis when the last jar vanishes. With stubborn resolve, he ventures into the wild to harvest honey straight from a buzzing hive, testing his patience and composure in the process. Written and illustrated by William Van Horn, with coloring by Jo Meugniot and Digikore, and lettered by Van Horn himself, this tale from Disney Masters #18 captures classic Disney charm with a modern, meticulous touch, all wrapped in a cover by Van Horn.

Uncle Scrooge, freshly healthy and utterly baffled, grumbles over a mountain of medical bills—no injury, no fever, no reason at all for the charges. In a tale of absurdity and fiscal frustration, he’s left wondering just what the doctor was paid for.

In "Heavy Duty," Donald Duck finds himself caught in a comically awkward situation when a misunderstanding with Daisy leads to an unexpected and dramatic change in his size—now he's far heavier than he's ever been, and must find a way to return to normal before things get even more out of control. Written by a talented team and illustrated with expressive flair, this 10-page tale from Disney Masters #18 delivers classic humor with a twist that keeps the stakes both absurd and oddly heartfelt.

When Donald Duck tries to enjoy a quiet afternoon with tea and crumpets, his peace is shattered by a persistent chorus of crows and raccoons making a home in the tree in his yard. Determined to reclaim his tranquility, he decides the solution is simple: cut down the tree. But as any duck who’s ever dealt with backyard chaos knows, things rarely go smoothly—especially when nature has other plans.

When Scrooge McDuck offers Donald fifty thousand dollars to retrieve a cursed Amazon necklace from the heart of the jungle, the duck is both tempted and baffled—especially when he’s forced to bring the nephews along. As they trek through the wilds of the Amazon, the real danger may not be the jungle’s creatures, but the strange power the necklace seems to whisper to those who wear it.
