Donald Duck #215
In "The Great Rainbow Race," Scrooge sends Donald and the boys on a wild jet-plane quest to find the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow—only for Magica De Spell to hijack the chase with her own sorcery. When the rainbow vanishes in a far-eastern land where rain hasn’t fallen in a year, Magica conjures a downpour to create a new rainbow, testing whether the legend holds true under impossible odds. Written by Bob Ogle and illustrated by Tony Strobl with inks by Mike Royer, and featuring a cover by Carl Barks, this 1980 Western Publishing classic blends whimsy and mischief in a race where myth meets magic.

Scrooge sends Donald and the boys to look for the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Their jet-plane aerial search is taken over by Magica De Spell who wants the gold for herself. The rainbow ends - and vanishes - in a far-eastern country where rain is not expected for another year, causing angry Magica to use her powers of sorcery to conjure up a "gully-washer" that produces a rainbow of its own. Under such conditions, can there be any truth to the pot of gold legend?
