About this Collection

This second volume of Fantagraphics' Complete Carl Barks Disney Library collects the beloved cartoonist's early 1940s Donald Duck newspaper dailies and Sunday strips, including the titular adventure 'Frozen Gold.' Showcasing Barks' developing storytelling and art, the book features Donald Duck in a series of comedic and action-packed misadventures from his formative years.

In "Frozen Gold," Donald Duck swaps his snowbound Duckburg home for an airplane, hoping to flee the winter with his nephews—only to be pulled into a high-stakes mission when the mayor enlists him to deliver vital penicillin to remote Point Marrow, Alaska. A stolen gold mine map hidden in the plane sets off a chain of complications, with crooks and a familiar foe waiting in the frozen north. Written and drawn by Carl Barks, with coloring by Gary Leach and lettering by Barks himself, this adventure from The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #2 features cover art by Barks, capturing the icy grandeur and whimsical peril of the journey.

When Donald Duck trades his icy Duckburg home for an airplane to escape the winter, he’s soon pulled into a high-stakes flight to Point Marrow, Alaska, carrying vital penicillin on behalf of Mayor Fizzlebudget.

In "The Hard Loser," Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie go head-to-head in the wild, no-holds-barred Screwball Derby, a cross-country horse race where every trick in the book—and a few beyond—is fair game. With the likes of John the Junkman, his horse Hamilton, and "Grampa" Duck’s steed in the mix, the track becomes a whirlwind of chaos, cunning, and questionable tactics.

When Donald Duck challenges his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie to a photo contest for the newspaper, he’s confident his high-tech camera will win—until the kids’ simple little box camera keeps capturing the perfect shots. From the chaos of the parade to the frenzy of the amusement park, every click proves more clever than Donald’s expensive gear, leaving the newspaper editor stunned and the crowd in stitches.
