The Complete Carl Barks #7

When the nephews’ dream of a golden Christmas tree fades, they’re tricked by a cunning witch who plans to harvest their tears for a spell meant to erase every Christmas tree on Earth.

In "Paperino e la Cleopatrias Extinta," Donald Duck takes on a perilous safari to Africa, lured by the promise of capturing the legendary Almostus Extinctus—a butterfly so rare it’s nearly mythical. Along the way, he’s thwarted at every turn by the scheming Professor Angus McFiendly, while his nephews find themselves in danger at the hands of cannibals, forcing Donald into a desperate choice.

In "Paperino e il mistero degli Incas," Donald Duck, now a museum janitor, stumbles upon a puzzling discovery: ancient Inca "blocks" are actually square eggs. When the rest of a scientific expedition falls ill, Donald and the nephews take the lead, venturing deep into the Andes. There, they encounter a mysterious people who speak with Southern accents and survive on the very eggs that sparked the mystery.

In "Paperino e il feticcio," Donald Duck finds himself cursed with a poisoned doll meant for Uncle Scrooge, the victim of a decades-old curse tied to a zombie’s grudge. With the nephews in tow and the undead Bombie the Zombie trailing behind, Donald sets off to Africa, hoping the witch doctor Foola Zoola can reverse the spell before the poison shrinks him to rat-size.
