Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #63
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Buying a Pet," the ever-resourceful Gyro Gearloose faces off against the sneaky Emil Eagle in a clever game of wits, as the villain disguises himself as a vacuum cleaner salesman and later a firefighter to steal Gyro's latest invention plans. With his thinking cap and robot bloodhound on the case, Gyro turns the tables on the vain eagle using a surprisingly effective hair-growing formula. Written by Vic Lockman and illustrated by Jack Bradbury, with inks by Steve Steere and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop, this 1966 adventure features a delightfully inventive caper, all wrapped in a cover by Carl Barks.
Uncle Scrooge hides his fortune in the haunted castle of the Mad Duke of Duckburg to keep it safe from the Beagle Boys—only for the crooks to trick him into leading them straight to the treasure. When the Beagles are trapped by the castle’s deadly booby traps and Scrooge suffers amnesia, the whole scheme unravels in the most absurd way possible.
In a clever twist of gadgetry and disguise, the scheming Emil Eagle strikes again—first posing as a vacuum cleaner salesman, then as a firefighter—trying to steal Gyro Gearloose’s latest invention plans. With his Thinking Cap guiding the way and his robotic bloodhound Sniftor on the trail, Gyro sets a trap of his own, turning Emil’s vanity against him with a surprise formula that’s anything but subtle.
