It's a catastrophe when an ocean liner with Scrooge's Old Number One Dime on board sinks in a raging storm at sea. Donald and Scrooge go after it, only to discover that the vessel has been taken to an undersea ship graveyard where four-armed Martians are salvaging the metal from the sunken ships for their own planet.

Next, Scrooge takes the ducks on a flight to the Yucatan peninsula, in search of Mayan ruins. But two scoundrels follow and trap them all in a deadly pool of peril called the Well of Sacrifice.

Then, Magica de Spell learns of Scrooge's expedition to find the island where geese lay eggs with golden yolks. With the aid of the Beagle Boys and their dirty tricks, the race is on.

Carl Barks delivers another wildly imaginative collection of outrageous adventures, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around comic book brilliance. Each page is meticulously restored and newly colored, with insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts.

Contributor Bio:Barks, Carl
Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barks's most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a "Disney Legend," a special award created by Disney "to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic." He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world.
