“Redbeard's Pirate Plunder”

In "Redbeard's Pirate Plunder," Donald Duck’s nephews accidentally ruin his tablecloth with India ink, leading them to Gyro Gearloose for help—only to trigger a mix-up that sends a batch of Gyro’s experimental dye to Donald, who mistakes it for the bug powder he’s been waiting for. Written and drawn by Carl Barks, with inks by Barks and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1973 adventure brings chaotic mischief to Duckburg, all under Tony Strobl’s vibrant cover.
