Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #23
In "Moola on the Move," Scrooge McDuck ventures to the treacherous Gloomgurgle Straits in the North Pacific, where his gold shipments from Alaskan mines keep vanishing. With Carl Barks writing, drawing, and inking every page, this 1958 Dell classic unfolds as Scrooge uncovers a clever ruse: the lighthouse keepers at Raider Nick's Reef are none other than the Beagle Boys, using a rubber ghost ship to scare off rival ships. The cover by Carl Barks captures the eerie tension, perfectly setting the stage for a tale of greed, deception, and the ever-watchful eye of the world’s richest duck.
