Walt Disney's Donald Duck #203
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.
