Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #21
In "Windfall of the Mind," Carl Barks crafts a delightfully tangled tale where Scrooge McDuck’s attempt to safeguard his fortune backfires hilariously when his faulty eyeglasses lead him to bury his money beneath land occupied by the Beagle Boys’ long-lost grandfather. With Barks handling every aspect of the art and storytelling, this 1958 Dell classic blends sharp wit and classic Disney charm, all anchored in a single, perfectly misjudged decision. The cover by Carl Barks captures the moment’s tension with his signature precision.
