Uncle Scrooge #403

In "The Pelican Thief," Scrooge McDuck finds himself tangled in a scheme where a cunning impostor gains his trust, setting the stage for the Beagle Boys to disguise their plans as a government renovation. With the help of a peculiar bird trainer’s pelicans, the crooks plot a bizarre heist using the birds’ beaks to ferry coins away—leaving Scrooge to unravel the deception. Written by Romano Scarpa and Joe Torcivia, with art by Scarpa and inks by Giorgio Cavazzano, the issue features a striking cover by Marco Rota.
