☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Strange Shipwrecks," Mowgli finds himself caught between the playful antics of a lion and tiger cub and the looming danger of Ol' Mugger, the crocodile’s trap—though the cubs refuse to believe he’s serious. With Pete Alvarado’s expressive artwork and Tony DiPaola’s dynamic inks, this 1968 Western Publishing tale brings the jungle to life, while Tony Strobl’s cover captures the story’s whimsical tension.
When Uncle Scrooge investigates a string of mysterious shipwrecks in the Gloomgurgle Straits, he finds himself outmaneuvered by a clever ruse: the lighthouse keepers at Raider Nick's Reef are none other than the Beagle Boys, using a giant rubber "ghost ship" to scare off rival treasure hunters. With Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow, Donald Duck and Scrooge must unravel the truth behind the phantom vessel before the Beagle Boys make off with another fortune in gold.
Mowgli finds himself caught between playful antics and real danger when he’s tricked by a pair of lion and tiger cubs who delight in teasing him. As he tries to warn them about Ol’ Mugger’s trap, the cubs refuse to believe him—leaving Mowgli to prove the threat is real before it’s too late.
