Giovan Battista Carpi

It's Victor Hugo... duckified When French gendarme Javert thinks that poor Jean McJean (Scrooge McDuck) stole two candlesticks, he swears to run him down--even years later, when McJean has become town mayor and guardian of Daisette (Daisy Duck). Are the candlesticks the key to a fabulous treasure lost in Paris? And do the fr res Beagle and Peg Leg Th nardier want it? (Silly question ) Then, in our version of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, Count Donald Dukzukov of ancient Russia loves Ducktasha Roastov (Daisy)--but Prince Scrooge McDukzukov wants to force him into an arranged marriage... or punish him in the McDukzukov Metalworks, where cannon balls are so pricey that you have to return them after the battle

Featuring the next two volumes in our Disney Masters series: Vol. 5: The Phantom Blot's Double Mystery, and Vol. 6: Uncle Scrooge: King of the Golden River.

Scrooge McDuck wants to find the treasure of King Duckapulco, an ancient ruler of a pre-Columbian South American empire. But the King's ghost demands his vast wealth go only to the pure of heart. Is that why Scrooge and Donald are bringing Huey, Dewey, and Louie along? Beyond "King of the Golden River," this collection of stories, in English for the first time, includes "Me, Myself, and Why" -- in which Scrooge adopts two aliases to confuse the taxman -- only to develop a real split personality Plus: The Wild West saga of "Mickey the Kid and Six-Shot Goofy "

Giovan Battista Carpi er ikke av de mest kjente Disney-navnene, men de fleste Donald-lesere har sett streken hans, i Pocket-bøkene eller i Donald-bladet. Som italiensk serietegner var Carpi medansvarlig for nyskapningen Fantonald, og det var i hans strek vi for første gang møtte superhelten i Norge. I denne boken er Donalds alter ego med i historien «En superhelt for mye». Selv om Carpis strek hele tiden var teknisk fullendt og svært ekspressiv, gjennomgikk stilen en stadig utvikling, som forfatter Alberto Becattini viser i sin introduksjon. Fra innholdet: Den fe-estlige landturen, Mikke Mus og professor Alge, Onkel Skrue og vegetabilen.
