Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #72
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Great Steamboat Race," Scrooge McDuck finds himself in a high-stakes aquatic showdown when the Beagle Boys stage a fake scrap metal venture to lure Gyro Gearloose into building a metal-melter—only to use it against Scrooge's Money Bin. With Carl Barks' iconic cover art capturing the chaos of the race, this 1967 classic brings together Vic Lockman’s sharp storytelling, Tony Strobl’s dynamic artwork, and the legendary team behind the Western Publishing production.
In "The Great Steamboat Race," Uncle Scrooge teams up with the ever-competitive Horseshoe Hogg to resurrect two vintage steamboats and relive a decades-old rivalry that began in 1870. With Donald Duck and the nephews aboard, and Horseshoe’s crew ready to prove their worth, the race to claim Cornpone Gables heats up on the Mississippi—where every twist of the river could turn the tide.
When the Beagle Boys pitch a scrap metal scheme to Gyro Gearloose, their real plan is to melt down Scrooge's Money Bin—using a machine he’s never seen before. With the street sweeper and a duck kid watching from the sidelines, Scrooge’s vault faces a fiery fate, and the Beagle Boys’ latest heist takes a surprisingly literal turn.
