Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #44

In "The Crown of the Mayas," Scrooge McDuck takes a daring flight over the Yucatan, driven by his frustration over being denied membership in the Archeologists' Club—only to spot a promising set of Mayan ruins that could change everything. With the ducks in tow, he’s soon shadowed by two disgruntled scoundrels who’ve also been kicked out of the Club, leading to a tense trap in a mysterious pool known as the "Well of Sacrifice." Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this classic adventure features his signature blend of wit, peril, and treasure-hunting flair, with the cover by Barks capturing the moment’s suspense.
