“The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone”

In "The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone," Scrooge McDuck and his nephews embark on a globe-trotting quest across Europe, chasing the legendary alchemical secret said to turn base metals into gold—only to find their journey leading them to the ancient, twisting maze of Crete. Written, drawn, and inked by the legendary Carl Barks, this adventure blends classic treasure-hunt charm with the timeless appeal of myth and mystery. The cover, by Marco Rota, captures the golden lure of the quest with a touch of timeless whimsy.
