Four Color #328

Donald Duck heads to the Gold Rush era in this 1951 Dell issue, with the cover by Carl Buettner showing Donald frantically panning for gold at a streamside while Huey, Dewey, and Louie look on — one of the nephews clutching a pickaxe, all of them dressed in period mining attire. Looming ominously over the scene is the silhouette of a menacing figure holding a flintlock rifle, adding a real sense of danger to the adventure. Interior work comes from the prolific Carl Barks, making this a treat for fans of his warm, energetic storytelling.
