Uncle Scrooge #30 / 434

In "The Tourist at the End of the Universe," Scrooge McDuck finds himself at the center of an interstellar oddity when a curious extraterrestrial tourist arrives to examine his money bin. Things take a turn when Scrooge, misunderstanding the alien’s tiny spacecraft as a mere coin, lends it to the nephews as bus fare—unwittingly trapping the visitor on Earth. Written by Carlo Chendi and Jonathan Gray, with art by Giorgio Cavazzano and colors by Digikore Studios, this 2017 IDW adventure blends whimsy and cosmic confusion in a story that’s as sharp as Scrooge’s ledger. The cover, also by Cavazzano, captures the moment with a perfectly deadpan alien and a very confused duck.
