☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects two globe-trotting Uncle Scrooge adventures by Italian cartoonist Giovan Battista Carpi, originally serialized in the 1960s. In the title story, Scrooge and Donald Duck encounter a mysterious witch while seeking treasure around the world, blending classic Disney humor with Carpi's dynamic, expressive artwork. Part of Fantagraphics' ongoing Disney Masters series, this edition showcases a lesser-known European master's contribution to the Duck universe.
In "The Green Attack," the Beagle Boys ditch their usual heists for a surprisingly honest hustle: selling burglar alarms. With homes now empty of valuables—thanks to a city-wide shift in security habits—they decide to capitalize on their expertise, turning crooked know-how into a legitimate business. But when their alarms don’t sell, they plot a bold new scheme: breaking in just to prove how effective their product really is. Written by Mike Sharland, Jack Sutter, and Byron Erickson, and illustrated with sharp detail by Daniel Branca—whose cover pencils and inks bring the gang’s mischievous charm to life—this 2024 Disney Masters entry blends humor and heist logic in a clever, self-aware twist on classic Disney mischief.
In "The Green Attack," Magica DeSpell inherits a crumbling mansion from her mysterious sorceress aunt, only to uncover a hidden treasure: the Borgia Flower Staff, a wand that commands plant life. With a wicked grin and a new weapon in hand, she sets her sights on Scrooge's Money Bin, unleashing a verdant assault unlike any before.
In "An Honest Mistake," the Beagle Boys—ever the opportunists—find themselves stumped when even the easiest break-ins fail, thanks to a city-wide shift in how people protect their valuables. With homes now empty of loot, the crooks pivot: why not sell the very alarms they’ve spent years trying to beat? Written by a longtime Disney comics veteran and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair by the series’ interior artist, this six-page tale turns a classic caper on its head, exploring what happens when criminals try to go straight—by selling security to the very people they used to rob.
In "Tip-Top Topiary," Donald Duck channels his creativity into intricate topiary art for a range of quirky clients, delighting audiences with his whimsical designs—until he tackles a grand commission for Duckburg, where his bold vision meets unexpected resistance. The story captures the charm of a talent misunderstood, blending humor and heart in a tale of artistic pride and public perception.
When a slickly dressed con artist dangles the promise of membership in a secret "Snobs' Club" before him, Scrooge McDuck finds himself tempted—only to realize too late that the real trick is on him. The Beagle Boys, in disguise, have their sights set on more than just a few coins.
In "Ill Met by Moonlight," Scrooge McDuck trades his usual high-stakes adventures for a quiet retreat in the sun-drenched Costa Patata, buying the mysterious, long-abandoned mansion of the reclusive Howard Huge. But beneath the tropical calm lies a legacy of pirate lore, and an ornate mirror in the estate hints at secrets that stretch beyond time—just as the moon rises over the jungle.
