The Complete Carl Barks #12

In "Paperino e l’uomo d’oro," Donald Duck and his nephews embark on a tropical adventure in British Guiana, chasing the legendary one-cent magenta stamp of 1856. Their quest leads them to a mysterious golden giant known as El Dorado, who guards a forgotten letter with a surprising connection to a long-lost resident of Duckburg—and a shocking inheritance.

In "Paperino e la pistola ipnotizzante," Donald Duck grows convinced that the nephews' toy hypno-gun is real, leading him to test it on Uncle Scrooge—only to find it works on himself, not the intended target. The misadventure unfolds as Donald's belief in the gun's power spirals into a series of increasingly absurd attempts to control his own mind, with hilariously unintended consequences.

When Donald Duck sets out to become a chicken farmer on the hills above Pleasant Valley, his plans quickly spiral into chaos—each attempt to raise his flock only brings more trouble, turning the quiet countryside into a feathered frenzy. Before long, the entire town finds itself caught in the uproar, leading to a name change that no one saw coming.

Scrooge McDuck, relying on memory-restoring pills, suddenly remembers a long-lost gold nugget cache buried in the Yukon half a century ago. His journey back to the Klondike leads him and his family to a surprising discovery: the claim he staked has been claimed by Glittering Goldie, a former dance hall girl from his gold rush days—and someone who still owes him a thousand dollars, plus interest.
