☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Island in the Sky," Scrooge McDuck sets his sights on the ultimate treasure vault—space—only to discover a remote asteroid already home to a pair of tiny, primitive tribes, one clinging to survival just a short distance from a lush, green world. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, with inks and lettering by Barks and Garé Barks, this 1960 Dell classic features a cover by Carl Barks, blending whimsy and quiet tension as the ducks' arrival upends the fragile balance of two very different worlds.
In "Island in the Sky," Uncle Scrooge sets his sights on a barren asteroid to stash his money, unaware that it's home to tiny, primitive alien tribesmen—only three hundred yards from a lush, green world teeming with life. When Donald Duck and the nephews accidentally scare off the birds whose eggs are the aliens' sole food source, the fragile balance of survival on the rocky asteroid begins to unravel.
Uncle Scrooge ventures back to the Scottish moors in search of a lost piece of the McDuck family tartan, only to be met with whispers of the Hound of the Whiskervilles—ancient rivals of his clan—rumored to have returned to the wilds. With Donald, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Angus McWhisker in tow, Scrooge must navigate the eerie moors and a centuries-old feud that’s far from buried.
