“Donald Duck's Atom Bomb”

In "Donald Duck's Atom Bomb," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully absurd tale where Donald’s latest invention—meant to be a revolutionary atom bomb—produces only a comical "fut" instead of an explosion. When two professors, including the eccentric foreign expert Professor Sleezy, are called in to assess the device, things take a chaotic turn as Sleezy accidentally sets it off. With Barks handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Carl Buettner’s expressive cover capturing the moment of comedic disaster, this 1947 Western Comics issue is a rare freebie that showcases Barks’ early genius in full swing.
