Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #28
In "The 'Paul Bunyan' Machine," Carl Barks delivers a delightfully absurd showdown as the Beagle Boys unleash a giant mechanical Paul Bunyan to ransack Scrooge's Money Bin—only for Scrooge to outwit them by hiding his fortune in an Idaho forest and building his own towering machine to match. With every panel drawn and inked by Barks himself, this 1959 Dell classic blends whimsy and wits in a tale where size isn’t everything, and cleverness wins the day. The cover, also by Barks, captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.
