Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #20

Dec 1957 · Dell · 0.10 USD
“City of Golden Roofs”

In "City of Golden Roofs," Scrooge and Donald Duck set off on a high-stakes money-making race across the Gung Ho River in Indochina, each pitching wildly different products—Scrooge’s massive hanger heaters and Donald’s midget tape recorders—until their journey leads them to the long-lost city of Tangkor War. Hidden for a thousand years, the city’s secrets begin to stir, drawn in by the unexpected sound of Shoeless Pashly’s calypso music. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this classic tale blends adventure and whimsy in a story that’s as rich in detail as it is in discovery. The cover, also by Carl Barks, captures the moment of wonder as the duo first glimpses the golden rooftops.

Scrooge and Donald hold a contest to see who can make money the fastest—Donald selling midget tape recorders or Scrooge selling huge stoves for heating airplane hangers—while sailing up the Gung Ho River in Indochina. They stumble upon the ancient city of Tangkor War; it has remained hidden for a thousand years, but yields to the temptations of Donald's recordings of Shoeless Pashly, the calypso king.
