The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #29
In "Northeaster on Cape Quack," Scrooge McDuck and his rival, Gyro Gearloose's friend Rockerduck, go head-to-head in the Yellowrado River Water Derby, each betting their respective brands of marine gasoline. With Scrooge boasting that his fuel is so potent he could toss a pebble over his shoulder and hire the man it hits to drive his boat, things take a famously chaotic turn when that very pebble lands squarely on Donald Duck. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Carl Barks, with colors by Gary Leach and a cover by Barks himself, this classic tale from the Carl Barks Disney Library series is a masterclass in comedic timing and high-seas shenanigans.
