Uncle Scrooge: The Grand Canyon Conquest

In this 2015 one-shot from IDW, Scrooge McDuck's latest scheme to wring profit from a natural wonder pits him against the Grand Canyon itself—and the Beagle Boys, naturally. Written by Gary Leach and illustrated by Miquel Pujol, the story channels the classic Carl Barks spirit of adventure and slapstick, with Pujol's lively art capturing the canyon's grandeur and the ducks' chaotic greed. A fun, standalone caper that proves even America's national parks aren't safe from a billionaire's bottom line.
