The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #28

When Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, and the nephews tour Scrooge’s oil pipelines in Persia, their journey takes a wild turn upon meeting Professor Dustdiver, who claims to have found clay tablets pointing to Ali Baba’s legendary cave. With their donkeys snatched by giant rocs, the group follows the trail into the unknown—only to find themselves deep in a treasure-laden mystery that’s as treacherous as it is thrilling.

Uncle Scrooge charges toward the end of a rainbow with a wheelbarrow, returning with a pot of gold that leaves Donald Duck and Gladstone Gander wide-eyed and skeptical.

When Scrooge locks his Money Bin behind an indestructible glass, he thinks he’s finally safe—until he learns that the cry of a rare Tanganyika Yeeker can shatter even that. Now, with Magica de Spell hot on the trail and the Beagle Boys close behind, Scrooge must race across continents and through chaos to secure the elusive birds before they fall into the wrong hands.

In "A Spicy Tale," Uncle Scrooge ventures to the Cura de Coco Indians’ village in search of rare nutmegs for his favorite tea, only to find Donald Duck already there—teaching the tribe to play bongo drums instead of farming. When Donald’s lessons accidentally lead a witch doctor to brew a potion using Scrooge’s precious spice, the results go wildly out of control, turning small things into giant creatures and sending the whole group scrambling for survival.

When the Beagle Boys escape custody, Uncle Scrooge takes a bold step: he swaps his gold coins for paper money and hides the cash in a round, remote-controlled tank—just in case the crooks try to strike again. With Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie on high alert, and a skeptical judge watching from the sidelines, the real test comes when the Beagle Boys launch their next scheme.

When a mysterious letter claiming to come from a descendant of Circe offers Uncle Scrooge a legendary treasure in exchange for his Old Number One Dime, the nephews are quick to suspect Magica De Spell—especially when she shows up with a flair for ancient drama. But as the search leads them to a forgotten workshop hidden beneath centuries of secrecy, the real danger may lie not in the magic, but in what the wand could unleash.

In a lavish gathering of elite collectors, Uncle Scrooge finds himself outshone by guests displaying rare artifacts—until he quietly reveals his own unique treasure: a meticulously organized collection of money, turning embarrassment into quiet pride.

In a clever twist on brains versus brawn, Gyro Gearloose finds himself outmatched when a Beagle Boy challenges his intellect—so he takes an unexpected turn, boosting his strength to match the criminal’s cunning. With Uncle Scrooge watching, Donald Duck caught in the crossfire, and even Horace Horsecollar and Daisy Duck caught in the chaos, Gyro must balance his new power with his usual brilliance.

Gyro Gearloose arrives in Farbakishan as a "Brain Corpsman," ready to solve the rice farmers' irrigation woes—only to overcomplicate things by turning idle water buffaloes into a high-tech water delivery system. With his usual mix of enthusiasm and engineering overreach, he’s soon tangled in a web of gears, pulleys, and very confused buffaloes.

Gyro Gearloose channels his frustration into invention when his old toaster fails, leading him to build a new one—only for a sudden lightning bolt to send it soaring into the sky, much to the surprise of his helper and a flock of bluebirds. Meanwhile, two astronauts watch in astonishment as the toaster becomes an unexpected aerial spectacle.

In "Madcap Inventors," Gyro Gearloose and his eccentric inventor neighbor turn their backyard rivalry into a wild race to engineer trees that grow peanut-butter sandwiches and hot dogs, with help from Gyro's ever-loyal Helper. The chaos unfolds as gadgets spark, inventions misfire, and the line between science and silliness blurs in the most delightfully absurd way.

Gyro Gearloose’s latest invention—a fish-hypnotizing wand—fails to impress the crowd at the Duckburg Sea Carnival… until a stranded ocean liner needs saving. With a wave of his wand and a dash of luck, Gyro’s little trick turns into a surprise rescue, drawing cheers from the Sea Carnival attendees and panicked officials alike.

Gyro Gearloose kicks off his first day as a postman with a flurry of inventive fixes—each delivery punctuated by a new gadget meant to streamline the job. The Postmaster, already on edge, watches in growing dismay as Gyro’s enthusiasm turns the mail route into a rolling lab. With a vicious dog lurking and the clock ticking, even the most well-meaning contraptions might not be enough to keep the mail from flying off course.
