Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color #46
“How Green Was My Lettuce”
In "How Green Was My Lettuce," Carl Barks delivers a clever, character-driven tale that reflects the creative tensions behind the scenes at Western Publishing, where his work was often trimmed to accommodate ads. This 1998 Gladstone issue, featuring Barks’ own writing and art, offers a rare look at how editorial decisions shaped even the most beloved stories, with the full scope of the original run preserved in its pages.
