Walt Disney's Donald Duck #203

“Straight Shooter”

In "Straight Shooter," Carl Barks delivers another delightfully absurd adventure as Donald Duck and his nephews are whisked away to the forgotten city of Itsa Faka in Persia, where ancient, dehydrated inhabitants await revival. With Barks handling every aspect of the art and storytelling, the issue blends whimsy and mystery as Donald finds himself mistaken for a long-lost prince and thrust into a royal wedding he never asked for. The cover, also by Barks, captures the story’s playful intrigue in bold, dynamic lines.

The ducks are kidnapped by a mysterious scientist and flown to Persia, where they dig into an ancient city, Itsa Faka. The inhabitants of the city have been dehydrated while still living and the scientist restores the royal entourage to life by pouring its dust into a special mixture. Donald is mistaken for the prince who jilted King Nevvawaza's daughter and a marriage ceremony is ordered by the king.
