{"product_id":"walt-disneys-donald-duck-11","title":"Walt Disney's Donald Duck The Old Castle's Secret: The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Vol. 6","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eWith this volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Carl Barks Disney Library\u003c\/i\u003e loops back\r\nto Barks's earlier days, collecting the entirety of Bark's (astounding) 1948\r\noutput. The title story, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Castle's Secret\u003c\/i\u003e, is notable not just for\r\nbeing the first full-length 32-page adventure instigated by Scrooge McDuck (in\r\nhis second-ever appearance), but for featuring some of Bark's spookiest, lushest\r\nsettings in old Clan McDuck castle of Dismal Downs. The other long story, \u003ci\u003eThe\r\nSheriff of Bullet Valley\u003c\/i\u003e, plunks Donald and the nephews in the Wild West,\r\nwith Donald as an overconfident deputy having to deal with some high-tech\r\nrustlers. The book also includes the less-known \u003ci\u003eIn Darkest Africa\u003c\/i\u003e,\r\noriginally published in a giveaway and unreleased for decades. This volume also\r\nfeatures an even 10 of Bark's dynamic \u003ci\u003eWalt Disney's Comics and Stories\u003c\/i\u003e\r\n10-pagers, including \u003ci\u003eWintertime Wager\u003c\/i\u003e (the first appearance of a\r\nnot-yet-lucky-but-still-obnoxious Gladstone Gander); \u003ci\u003eSpoil the Rod\u003c\/i\u003e (in\r\nwhich the exquisitely named educational professor Pulpheart Clabberhead is\r\nbrought in to help tame the nephews); \u003ci\u003eRocket Race to the Moon \u003c\/i\u003e(a rare\r\nfull-on adventure interplanetary, no less in the short form); \u003ci\u003eGladstone\r\nReturns\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLinks Highjinks\u003c\/i\u003e (two more Gladstone yarns); and five more\r\nstories... plus a half-dozen hilarious one-page gags. Of course, once again all\r\nthe stories have been shot from crisp originals, then re-colored (and printed)\r\nto match, for the first time since their original release over 60 years ago, the\r\ncolorful yet soft hues of the originals and of course the book is rounded off\r\nwith essays about Barks, the Ducks, and these specific stories by Barks experts\r\nfrom all over the world. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46560198787282,"sku":"9781606996539","price":48.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_769de8e1-a84f-45b7-8513-9b779345bdc8.jpg?v=1763437762","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/walt-disneys-donald-duck-11","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
