In "Stranger than Fiction," Donald Duck isn't impressed by his nephews' fascination with science fiction—until he challenges them with a real-life adventure using Gyro Gearloose's transport-beaming invention. Written and drawn by Carl Barks, this 1961 tale blends humor and invention in a classic Disney style, with Tony Strobl's dynamic cover and John Liggera's inks bringing the action to life.

When Donald Duck scoffs at his nephews' love of science fiction, he challenges them by teaming up with Gyro Gearloose to prove real-life invention can outshine any story. With a prototype beam-transport device and a batch of experimental mice, things quickly spiral into chaos—especially when the local police and even Old Satchel Face get caught in the crossfire.
