☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold," a map from Donald's seafood restaurant sets the ducks and a parrot named Old Yellow Beak on a swashbuckling adventure to locate pirate Henry Morgan's buried treasure. With Carl Barks and Jack Hannah bringing the classic Disney adventure to life through their artwork and inks, and Mike McCormick adding vibrant color, this 1996 Gladstone issue captures the spirit of timeless treasure hunts. The story unfolds with a crew full of surprises—some of them not quite what they seem—leading to a tense race for gold on a remote island.
When Donald Duck stumbles upon a pirate map in his seafood restaurant, he and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie set sail with their feathery ally, Old Yellow Beak, in search of Henry Morgan’s buried gold. Unbeknownst to them, the crew’s "old woman" cook is actually Black Pete in disguise, and his rat-faced henchmen are plotting to steal the treasure before they even reach the island.
When the Beagle Boys build a structure next to Scrooge’s money bin with plans to drain it, Scrooge secretly moves his fortune to an old reservoir, hiding it underwater. The Beagle Boys, learning of the switch, plot to destroy the dam and flood Scrooge’s new stash—just as Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie try to help their uncle protect it.
In "The Midas Touch," Uncle Scrooge’s prized Old Number One Dime goes missing after Magica De Spell visits his money bin, claiming she needs it for a powerful amulet. When she refuses to return it, Donald, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Scrooge set off on a wild chase to her sorcery shop on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, where Miss Quackfaster has a surprising role in the unfolding mystery.
Uncle Scrooge seals his Money Bin behind an indestructible glass, confident no thief can breach it—until Magica De Spell and the Beagle Boys prove otherwise. When a mysterious bird call from the Tanganyika Yeeker threatens to shatter the glass, Scrooge must race to protect his fortune before the sound rings out.
In "For Old Dime's Sake," Magica De Spell launches a series of bizarre weather attacks on Uncle Scrooge’s money bin, all to steal his prized Old Number One Dime. With the help of her clever disguise and a hypnotized Scrooge, she slips past his defenses and infiltrates his inner circle—right under the noses of Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and even the pig mayor himself.
