Walt Disney's Donald Duck #51
In "Self-Willed Clock," Donald Duck and the nephews find themselves stranded in a remote cove after a landslide cuts off their path, while Scrooge McDuck—mid-cruise and fishing—gets swept overboard by a massive salmon. Rescued by the unorthodox Black Pete and his partner Scupper, Scrooge’s sleep-talking reveals a mysterious urgency to reach Glacier Bay, leading Pete to reroute their journey to the very spot where Donald and the nephews are trapped. Written by Carl Fallberg and illustrated by Tony Strobl, with inks by Steve Steere and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1957 Dell classic features a cover by Paul Murry that captures the adventure’s lighthearted tension.
