The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Duck Luck," Carl Barks delivers another masterclass in classic Disney adventure, as Donald Duck and the boys take on the Fishermen's Gold Cup aboard the notoriously unseaworthy schooner Daffy-O. With Uncle Scrooge’s fortune on the line and a mysterious "secret device" in play—its true purpose unknown to Donald and crew—every roll of the dice, every gust of wind, and every fisherman’s curse counts. The story, written, drawn, and inked by Barks himself, is brought to life with vibrant colors by Gary Leach and lettering by Garé Barks, while the cover, also by Barks, captures the chaotic charm of the high-stakes race.
Aboard the rickety Daffy-O, Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie face their toughest challenge yet: winning the Fishermen's Gold Cup for Uncle Scrooge in a grueling cod fishing contest. With a crew of questionable seamanship and a rival fleet of seasoned fishermen, Donald’s only hope lies in Scrooge’s mysterious "secret device"—a gadget whose true purpose remains a mystery even to him.
Donald Duck’s latest vacation takes a delightfully chaotic turn when he sets his sights on winning a rose from a balcony-serenaded senorita—his ultimate souvenir. With Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow, and the Hondorican police hot on his tail, Donald’s over-the-top pursuit of romance and trinkets leads to a whirlwind of mistaken identities and musical mayhem.
When Donald Duck scoffs at his nephews' love of science fiction, he challenges them to prove their stories aren’t as wild as the real thing—leading to a chaotic experiment with Gyro Gearloose’s transport-beaming device, a trio of mischievous experimental mice, and a very confused police psychiatrist.
When Donald Duck decides to put his love of detective stories to the test, he dons a trench coat and becomes Duckburg’s most unlikely private eye. His first case? Protecting a priceless hypnotic opal during a public ceremony for King Notraks of Toolong Sarong—just as the Beagle Boys and a trio of suspicious bakers start circling the prize.
Daisy Duck, fed up with Donald and men in general, takes her nieces April, May, and June on a wilderness camping trip to prove her point. When a storm strands them atop a high peak, they’re rescued by a series of helpful men—each a different kind of professional—only to realize the real issue might just be Donald after all.
Daisy Duck stumbles upon a lost ring that sets off a chain of misunderstandings when she uses it to tease Donald Duck about a supposed new boyfriend—unaware it's actually a hidden radio used by the cunning jewel smuggler "Foots" Diamond. As the ring's true purpose unfolds, Donald and two Duckburg cops find themselves caught in a web of mistaken identities, leading to a chaotic chase through the city's lost-and-found and the streets of Duckburg.
When Scrooge vanishes during a high-stakes business meeting, Daisy Duck steps in to run the McDuck Motorcar Company—with surprising flair. From handling a furious group of creditors to managing a chaotic assembly of car-wives and dour car-husbands, her leadership proves unexpectedly effective—until Scrooge is discovered, trapped in a loot chute beneath the company’s headquarters.
Daisy Duck’s trying to stand out in her suburban neighborhood with bold, quirky touches for her home and yard—only to find her neighbors, including the ever-watchful Gussie Fussy, quickly following suit. What starts as a small act of individuality sparks a wave of imitation, turning her once-unique choices into the new norm.
When the Junior Woodchucks discover their beloved ice-skating lake is ruined by pollution, the trail of waste leads straight to Uncle Scrooge’s new automated factory—prompting Huey, Dewey, and Louie to investigate. As the boys dig deeper, they uncover the surprising truth behind Scrooge’s secret product, but the consequences of shutting down the factory could ripple far beyond the frozen lake.
When Magica de Spell traps Huey, Dewey, and Louie inside a giant bottle along a lonely road, their only hope is the occasional passing motorist—none of whom seem inclined to stop and help. With the Great D.E.M.I.J.O.H.N. looming and the Junior Woodchucks scattered, the boys must find a way out before the bottle becomes their permanent prison.
When Donald Duck decides to stop his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie from filling the house with Junior Woodchuck medals, he hatches a scheme so bold it’s almost absurd: he disguises himself as a six-year-old aspiring Woodchuck with a famously over-active digestion. Posing as a new recruit, he infiltrates the ranks, all while trying to sabotage their training — but the real challenge may be keeping his cover intact when the Great B.R.A.S.S. G.A.S.S.E.R. and the Great O.D.D. B.A.L.L.E.R. are watching.
