Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Watt an Occasion," Carl Barks spins a whimsical adventure as Scrooge McDuck pursues a coat woven from gold, lured by traders claiming to offer the legendary golden fleece—only to find himself in Colchis, where the real test is far stranger than he expected. With Donald and the nephews caught in a mythic maze of ancient riddles and mischievous Harpies, Scrooge’s quest takes a dramatic turn when he’s swallowed by the Sleepless Dragon. The story, written and illustrated by Carl Barks with full creative control from the cover pencils to the final inks, is a classic blend of adventure and humor, all rendered in the signature style of the Western Publishing Production Shop.
In "The Golden Fleecing," Uncle Scrooge's quest for a coat of gold leads him into a perilous trap orchestrated by disguised Harpies, who whisk him and Donald Duck to the mythical land of Colchis. There, Scrooge is forced to judge the Harpies' cooking—while his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie race to save him from the Sleepless Dragon's clutches.
Uncle Scrooge, parched in the desert heat, resists the tempting promise of Joe's Oasis—opting instead for a cheaper meal a mile down the road, unaware of the price he might pay for his frugality.
