Walt Disney's Comics - Cheerios Set W #1
In "Donald Duck and the Pirates," a 1947 Western Publishing gem, Donald and the boys stumble upon a wounded parrot named Yellow Beak after a scuffle with the notorious pirate Black Pete and his two rat accomplices. With the parrot’s memory holding the only copy of a buried treasure map, chaos ensues when all five end up stranded on the same ship, each with their own motives. Written by Chase Craig and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Hannah—both pencils and inks—and colorized by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this adventure features a cover by Carl Buettner that captures the swashbuckling spirit of the tale.
