In "Northeaster on Cape Quack," Carl Barks delivers a classic tale of seaside adventure as Donald Duck and his nephews learn the importance of the aging Cape Quack lighthouse—just as a storm looms. With the lighthouse keeper warning of dangerous weather, the trio must help keep the beacon lit, all drawn in the unmistakable, expressive style of Carl Barks, whose work defines the golden age of Disney comics. The cover, also by Barks, captures the drama with a storm-laden sky and the lighthouse’s flickering light.
