Uncle Scrooge #1 [Promotional Reprint] #[nn]
A classic Carl Barks tale in a rare promotional reprint, "Osogood Silver Polish" finds Scrooge McDuck outsmarting the Beagle Boys when they plot to drain his money bin by drilling into it. With his usual cunning, Scrooge relocates his fortune to an old underwater reservoir, setting up a clever countermove that the crooks soon try to thwart by targeting a nearby dam. The story is a masterclass in Barks’ signature blend of wit, suspense, and visual storytelling, all drawn, inked, lettered, and cover-penciled by the legendary creator himself.
