About this Collection

This volume collects classic Disney comics stories illustrated by Carl Barks, featuring Donald Duck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and other beloved characters from the Gladstone reprint series. Part of the comprehensive Carl Barks Library, it showcases Barks' signature blend of humor and adventure in full color.

In "Sitting High," Donald Duck takes the helm of the rickety schooner Daffy-O for the annual Fishermen's Gold Cup, racing against seasoned rivals to win the trophy for Uncle Scrooge—no small task with a crew of misfit nephews and a ship that barely floats. With only a mysterious "secret device" from Scrooge to rely on, Donald and his luckless crew must outwit the odds, all while Carl Barks’ signature charm and visual wit bring every creak and splash to life. The story, written and illustrated by Barks himself with inks and colors by Barks and Eric Vincent, features a cover by Barks that captures the absurdity and determination of the voyage.
