The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #3

In "Mystery of the Swamp," Donald Duck and the nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie venture into the Everglades, drawn in by rumors of strange creatures. What starts as a simple adventure quickly turns perilous when they encounter the mischievous Gneezles, leading to a tense standoff with the Gneezle King and a narrow escape from hungry alligators.

Donald Duck’s latest scheme takes to the seas when he buys a rusty tramp steamer from a fast-talking sailor, convinced he’s struck gold with a cargo run to Mexico. But the dream of profits quickly founders on the rocky shores of reality, as the boat’s questionable seaworthiness and an angry population of a Mexican fishing village stand between him and success—while a bean trader named Pedro and a very large whale add unexpected complications to the voyage.

Donald Duck sets the pace in a three-mile ice-skating race to the Pumpkinburg stone bridge, challenging his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie to a showdown on the frozen lake—though he’s quick to tweak the rules whenever it suits him. With every slippery turn and surprise shortcut, the race becomes as much a test of cunning as of speed.

When Donald Duck wakes up mid-raid on the icebox, he’s convinced the nephews are behind the midnight snack theft—except they’re not even awake. As he sets traps and stages a midnight stakeout, his sleepwalking antics only lead to more chaos, with Bolivar and Doctor Quackwak caught in the crossfire.

Donald Duck’s latest invention—a radar to track his mischievous nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie—backfires when the trio catches wind of it and flips the script. With the help of a barker at a carnival game and a pair of over-the-top ball-throwing performers, they turn the tables in a whirlwind of chaos and laughs, all while the unseen Wild Women of Borneo and the Three Mad Apes add to the mayhem from the sidelines.

In "Donald Duck's Best Christmas," Donald sets off on a festive journey to Grandma Duck’s house, hauling a haycart with his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow—only to find the snowy trek far less charming than the classic poem promised. With a stubborn horse, a bumpy roadhog, and a trio of unexpected encounters with a poor woman and her children along the way, Donald’s grand plan quickly unravels. Yet amid the chaos, a quiet moment of kindness reveals a lesson about the true spirit of giving.
