Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #49

In "The Loony Lunar Gold Rush," Scrooge McDuck delivers a lecture on the dangers of gold fever—just as the first astronauts return with news that the Moon is rich in gold. Inspired, the Junior Woodchucks build a rocket and blast off, where Scrooge sets up a lunar store charging gold rush prices. When a villain named Dan McShrew lures them away, chaos and a darkly comedic twist unfold. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, with cover art by Barks, this 1964 Western Publishing classic captures the absurdity of frontier fever in space.
