Disney's DuckTales #3

Gladstone's Disney's DuckTales #3 promises desert adventure with "The Lost Valley," and the cover by Daan Jippes sets the mood perfectly — Scrooge McDuck peers through a magnifying glass at a towering stone tablet covered in mysterious hieroglyphics, while Huey, Dewey, and Louie scramble eagerly around it, an ancient pyramid rising in the sandy background. The whole gang's energy is infectious, each nephew clutching a magnifying glass of his own as if determined to crack the puzzle before their uncle does. At 95 cents, this 1989 Gladstone issue is a cheerful invitation to join Duckburg's finest on a hunt through lost civilizations.
