“The Nose Knows”

In "The Nose Knows," a clever twist on brains versus brawn sees a Beagle Boy push Gyro Gearloose to boost his intelligence—only for Gyro to respond by upping his physical strength in kind. Written by Vic Lockman and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Carl Barks, this 1961 Four Color adventure delivers classic Disney charm with a playful, escalating duel of wits and might. The cover, also by Carl Barks, captures the moment with signature flair.
