Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures #42
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Treasure of Marco Polo," Scrooge McDuck makes a bold gamble by purchasing ten acres of uncharted land—only to discover it's a swamp. With his usual flair, he turns the muddy setback into a success by building a factory that produces frozen frog legs. Written by Bob Karp and illustrated by Al Taliaferro, with coloring by Pat Keane, this 1997 adventure captures Scrooge’s resourcefulness in classic Disney style, all under a cover by the legendary Carl Barks.
When Uncle Scrooge acquires a mysterious jade elephant—its tail the only part delivered, along with a refugee boy named Soy Bheen—a cryptic note from Marco Polo hints at a long-lost treasure hidden in the trunk. With Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow, Scrooge sets off to the war-torn kingdom of Unsteadystan, where the elephant has become a symbol of resistance under the rebel leader Whan Beeg Rhat.
In "The Last Laugh," Uncle Scrooge's latest land deal takes a swampy turn when he purchases ten acres sight unseen—only to discover it's a marshy wasteland. Determined to turn the fiasco into profit, he builds a factory to mass-produce frozen frog legs, turning a ridiculous setback into a surprisingly lucrative venture.
