"Maharajah Donald" is a classic adventure from Carl Barks, whose legendary storytelling and art bring this whimsical tale to life. When Huey, Dewey, and Louie trade up from a pencil stub to a steamship ticket to India, Donald claims it for himself—only to find his nephews stowing away, leading to an unexpected encounter with the wealthy Maharajah of Hoopadoola. With a favor to repay, Donald is asked to ride a sacred elephant across a narrow river, but even the most innocent-seeming task can spark trouble. The story, written and illustrated by Carl Barks with colors by Scott Rockwell and lettered by Barks himself, features a cover by Barks that captures the story’s charm and adventure.
