In "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.

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.
