Walt Disney's Giant Comics #422
In "The Cattle King," Carl Barks delivers a classic adventure as Scrooge McDuck takes Donald and the nephews to his ranch during roundup season, turning a lesson in cattle business into a high-stakes showdown with Snake McViper’s rustlers. With Scrooge’s cowboys on the run, the ducks step in—only to face off against the outlaws until two of them pull off a clever ruse, disguising themselves as a girl to outwit McViper’s men with a meal even the toughest outlaw couldn’t stomach. The story, written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, features his signature blend of humor and suspense, with the cover by Barks himself capturing the western flair of the tale.
