Gladstone Comic Album #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Gladstone Comic Album collects Carl Barks' classic 1950s adventure 'The Mines of King Solomon,' featuring Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie as they search for a legendary treasure in Africa. The story also includes appearances by Grandma Duck and Gus Goose in a tale of greed, peril, and family dynamics. This was the first entry in Gladstone's series of oversized comic albums reprinting Barks' beloved Disney stories.
In "The Mines of King Solomon," Scrooge takes Donald and the nephews on a globe-trotting tour of his far-flung enterprises, but their Junior Woodchuck animal calls keep sparking chaos—especially when the group stops at a Red Sea village to check on a sand supply, only to stumble upon the legendary Mines of King Solomon. As the nephews’ calls draw the attention of camel-riding Arab raiders, the treasure-laden tunnels promise danger at every turn.
In "History Tossed," Scrooge McDuck channels his inner patriot with a bold twist on a famous legend—dramatically flinging a dollar across the Potomac, then sprinting in a boat to retrieve it before it lands. The stakes are high, the river’s wide, and Scrooge’s competitive spirit is as sharp as ever.
In "A Honey of a Hen," Scrooge ducks into Grandma's farm under the pretense of a mishap, hoping to savor her cooking without paying—until a chicken hawk threatens one of her hens, forcing him to act. The story unfolds with Scrooge’s clever ruse unraveling in the face of a real emergency, all set against the rustic charm of the farm.
