Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "City of Golden Roofs," Scrooge and Donald Duck set off on a high-stakes money-making race across the Gung Ho River in Indochina, each pitching wildly different products—Scrooge’s massive hanger heaters and Donald’s midget tape recorders—until their journey leads them to the long-lost city of Tangkor War. Hidden for a thousand years, the city’s secrets begin to stir, drawn in by the unexpected sound of Shoeless Pashly’s calypso music. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this classic tale blends adventure and whimsy in a story that’s as rich in detail as it is in discovery. The cover, also by Carl Barks, captures the moment of wonder as the duo first glimpses the golden rooftops.
In "City of Golden Roofs," Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck race to out-earn each other on a wild journey up the Gung Ho River, where Donald’s midget tape recorders and Scrooge’s massive airplane-hanger stoves collide with the long-lost wonders of Tangkor War. When the city’s golden rooftops rise from the jungle, its ancient secrets begin to stir—especially after Donald’s recordings of the legendary calypso king, Shoeless Pashly, awaken something unexpected.
Uncle Scrooge, stranded on a deserted island and ignored by passing ships, decides to rethink his rescue strategy—turning his help sign into a more persuasive message with a few well-placed dollar bills.
