Walt Disney the Best of Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck #1
In "Fare Delay," Scrooge McDuck, relying on memory-restoring pills, suddenly remembers the exact spot where he hid a fortune in nuggets fifty years earlier. With Donald and the nephews in tow, he journeys to the Klondike—only to discover his old claim now belongs to Glittering Goldie, a former dance hall girl from the gold rush days who still owes him a debt, plus interest. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, this classic tale blends nostalgia, humor, and a touch of frontier charm, with Barks' distinctive art bringing the Yukon’s rugged beauty and the characters’ lively personalities to life—complete with his own inks and lettering, and a cover by Barks that captures the story’s adventurous spirit.
