Four Color #199

In "Sorry to be Safe," Donald Duck takes on a new role as a sheriff's deputy in the dusty town of Bullet Valley, tasked with tracking down a notorious gang of rustlers. Led by the cunning Blacksnake McQuirt—a man who hides his outlaw past behind a respectable rancher facade and uses a mysterious branding ray to alter cattle marks from a distance—this high-stakes pursuit puts Donald's nerve to the test. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this 1948 adventure blends Western grit with classic Disney charm, all captured in Barks’ dynamic art and signature storytelling. The cover, also by Barks, perfectly captures the tension of the moment.
