☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Good Old S.U.", Scrooge McDuck receives a mysterious letter claiming to come from a descendant of the mythical Circe, offering the legendary treasure of Ulysses in exchange for proof of his identity—his Old Number One Dime. With the nephews suspicious of a trap, especially one hatched by Magica de Spell, Scrooge sets off on a quest that blends ancient myth with his own storied past. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this 1963 adventure features a cover by Barks, capturing the story’s blend of whimsy and intrigue.
When a mysterious letter smelling of ancient spices claims to come from a descendant of Circe and offers the treasure of Ulysses in exchange for Scrooge’s Old Number One Dime, the nephews are quick to suspect Magica De Spell’s hand. With Scrooge intrigued and the boys skeptical, the quest begins—leading them on a wild, unpredictable journey where myth, mystery, and mischief collide.
Gyro Gearloose kicks off his first day as a postman with a flurry of inventions, each one designed to streamline his route—much to the Postmaster’s growing dismay. As Gyro pauses between deliveries to tinker with his latest contraption, the already tense postal office begins to feel the strain, especially when a vicious dog adds chaos to the mix.
When Scrooge leaves a robot double in charge during a business trip, Donald Duck is tasked with keeping it running—until a mishap knocks the robot offline. Suddenly, the duck-in-charge is real, and with Scrooge’s empire in chaos, Donald’s unorthodox leadership quickly turns the office into a farce.
