Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #12
In "Watt an Occasion," Carl Barks spins a whimsical adventure as Scrooge McDuck pursues a coat woven from gold, lured by traders claiming to offer the legendary golden fleece—only to find himself in Colchis, where the real test is far stranger than he expected. With Donald and the nephews caught in a mythic maze of ancient riddles and mischievous Harpies, Scrooge’s quest takes a dramatic turn when he’s swallowed by the Sleepless Dragon. The story, written and illustrated by Carl Barks with full creative control from the cover pencils to the final inks, is a classic blend of adventure and humor, all rendered in the signature style of the Western Publishing Production Shop.
