☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Gladstone Comic Album reprints Carl Barks' classic 1952 tale "Only a Poor Old Man," in which Scrooge McDuck's vast fortune is threatened by the cunning Beagle Boys. The story also features Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie as they help their uncle protect his money bin from the notorious villains. Originally published in Uncle Scrooge #1, this edition showcases Barks' definitive storytelling and artwork from the golden age of Disney comics.
In "Only a Poor Old Man," Scrooge McDuck finds himself outmaneuvered when the Beagle Boys build a structure next to his money bin, plotting to drain his fortune. With quick thinking, he secretly moves his wealth to an old underwater reservoir, turning his usual riches into a hidden aquatic treasure. But when the Beagle Boys catch wind of the switch, they plot to destroy the dam, hoping to flood Scrooge’s new hiding place and claim his money for themselves.
