Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures #19
In "A Stitch In Time," Scrooge McDuck ventures through time with the boys and Gyro Gearloose, hoping to profit from a surplus of silk by selling it in the past—only to find that even medieval markets aren't immune to inflation. When that fails, he leaps forward 400 years, only to discover his wares are hopelessly outdated in a future he barely recognizes. Written by Patsy Trench, Tom Anderson, and Geoffrey Blum, with art by Daniel Branca and colors by Sue Daigle-Leach, this 1990 adventure blends whimsy and time-travel mishaps, all capped by Don Rosa’s iconic cover.
