Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #29
In "Island in the Sky," Scrooge McDuck sets his sights on the ultimate treasure vault—space—only to discover a remote asteroid already home to a pair of tiny, primitive tribes, one clinging to survival just a short distance from a lush, green world. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, with inks and lettering by Barks and Garé Barks, this 1960 Dell classic features a cover by Carl Barks, blending whimsy and quiet tension as the ducks' arrival upends the fragile balance of two very different worlds.

Scrooge decides to hide his money in space, but the rocky, barren asteroid he chooses is populated by tiny primitive tribesmen, who live just three hundred yards from another asteroid that is lushly vegetated and covered with trees and lakes. Their future looks bleak when the ducks scare away the birds whose eggs are their only source of food.
