Collects further Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge/Donald Duck stories ― including the one that inspired Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Uncle Scrooge takes Donald and the nephews on a perilous trek in search of the fabled seven cities of gold! This is the Scrooge story famous for providing Steven Spielberg and George Lucas with inspiration for parts of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Speaking of gold and movies, James Bond fans might recognize in “The Mysterious Stone Ray” a gimmick that was later used in Goldfinger ― Uncle Scrooge’s pores fill with gold dust from his money bin. It makes him ill so he goes on vacation, which turns into a rescue mission for a sailor stranded on an island with some very mysterious baddies. Also, Scrooge decides to run for Treasurer of Duckburg, but it seems the only way to get votes is to spend a lot of money. (Sound familiar?) And you know what Uncle Scrooge thinks of that! Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of clever plot twists, laughout- loud comedy, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Full color

"Grew up on these comics. Carl Barks was a fantastic story teller and illustrator. Tho a kid the first time, the 50's, the stories were educational as well as interesting and escapist. These books have done a great job in restoring the original art and color and include interesting background information on the artists / writer and the story behind the story. Great to revisit old friends and find the stories still interesting 60 years later. Looking forward to more releases of Carl Barks' work."

Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge "The Seven Cities Of Gold" The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Vol 14 Vol 14 The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Carl Barks Books Reviews

• When I was a kid I had an old original copy of the "seven cities" comic book (that had been my father's), and it was my favorite story.
  
  This collection accurately reproduces the original. The images give a similar feeling to the original, and the printing is a good medium between over-modernization and the original low-resolution half-tone printing.
  
  These are great adventure stories from a time when books and comics were the only way to get that "Indiana Jones" experience. And of course this book contains the story that inspired the beginning of the first Indiana Jones movie.
  
  There's also a lot of the feeling (and several plot points) of the Seven Cities story in the 1999 Brendan Fraser movie "The Mummy" and I highly recommend the one for fans of the other.
  
  It's really delightful to find these stories available once again to inspire new generations.

• Other reviewers have said it all; Carl Barks' Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics are fantastic in their art and stories. The stories themselves are timeless adventures, where humor and a bit of real-world history is presented in a way that doesn't speak down to younger readers, and doesn't make adults feel like they're reading kid comics. This is my second volume of many that I plan on purchasing, much appreciation to Fantagraphics for making this series possible!
• I used to read these stories as a child. I remember loving them, and spending many hours of fun by myself reading the adventures of Donald Duck, McScrooge, Rockerduck & Co. I wish I still had my original books!
  I’m now happy to share the same adventures with my kids, both under 11, and to see them enjoy these old tales just as much as I did! It brings back memories while fostering new ones. These stories are lighthearted, easy to understand, and capturing. I am planning on slowly buying them all and rebuild my old collection.
  Carl Barks, Giovan Battista Carpi, Don Rosa, you name it. I love them all.
• I grew up with the comic books that included the duck stories of Carl Barks. It is wonderful to relive them again in this series of books. Not just the stories themselves but reproductions of cover art. At the end of the book you’ll find short histories of each story and one-pager including any art that had been changed by Barks himself to tighten the story or at the request of his publisher. My one complaint is that the book is listed as being for a maximum age of 12 and at over 70 years of age I’m enjoying them with an older eye that notices deeper meanings and subtle humor to the stories than I did as a youngster.
• These stories are beautifully written and drawn. I first read them as a child, but I think I enjoy them more now. I'm grateful they're still available to the public. Suggestion to readers look carefully at each panel, notice the choices that Barks makes. Everything is done with great care. Suggestion to please produce more of these volumes in format.
• Grew up on these comics. Carl Barks was a fantastic story teller and illustrator. Tho a kid the first time, the 50's, the stories were educational as well as interesting and escapist. These books have done a great job in restoring the original art and color and include interesting background information on the artists / writer and the story behind the story. Great to revisit old friends and find the stories still interesting 60 years later. Looking forward to more releases of Carl Barks' work.
• As always, the stories from Carl Barks are quite enjoyable. They were written in a heyday of these Disney classic comics, possessing a sharper humor than we usually see in today's stories for youngsters. I haven't been a youngster for quite awhile but these are still a fun read.
• This book was a gift and it was THOROUGHLY enjoyed by the recipient, a lover of Donald Duck and friends since childhood. The Carl Barks volumes are a wonderful trip down Memory Lane for anyone who grew up with Walt Disney's characters -- Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and Huey, Louey and Duey. Will we ever outgrow cartoons? I think not!!
