Gladstone Comic Album Special #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Gladstone Comic Album Special collects a classic Donald Duck adventure originally serialized in the 1950s, written and drawn by Carl Barks. In 'The Gilded Man,' Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie join Uncle Scrooge on a treasure hunt in South America for a legendary golden statue, leading to encounters with ancient traps and rival fortune seekers. The volume also includes supplementary Barks stories and features from the same era, presented in a deluxe album format with restored color and original cover art.
When Donald gifts Uncle Scrooge a parrot that only counts instead of talks, Scrooge sees a chance to solve his ever-worsening memory problem—especially when the bird memorizes the combination to his safe. But before Scrooge can enjoy the convenience, the parrot accidentally reveals the code to two burglars, then takes flight toward a boat bound for Latin America.
In "Secret of Hondorica," Donald Duck and his nephews embark on a jungle adventure in Central America to retrieve Scrooge McDuck’s lost papers from a crashed airplane, only to find themselves outpaced by Gladstone Gander, who’s convinced they’re after a treasure and determined to beat them to it.
In "The Runaway Train," Huey, Dewey, and Louie use their toy train set to predict a real-life disaster, sending Donald scrambling to stop a runaway locomotive before it's too late. The boys' clever deduction turns the family lounge into a high-stakes command center, with chaos just one wrong move away.
