Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: Lost Beneath the Sea

The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library #30

by Carl Barks

From the bottom of the ocean to a race for golden eggs to the hidden secrets of an ancient Mayan temple, Carl Barks delivers another wildly imaginative collection of outrageous adventures.

It's a catastrophe when an ocean liner with Scrooge’s Old Number One Dime on board sinks in a raging storm at sea. Donald and Scrooge go after it, only to discover that the vessel has been taken to an undersea ship graveyard where four-armed Martians are salvaging the metal from the sunken ships for their own planet.
Next, Scrooge takes the ducks on a flight to the Yucatan peninsula, in search of Mayan ruins. But two scoundrels follow and trap them all in a deadly pool of peril called the Well of Sacrifice.

Then, Magica de Spell learns of Scrooge’s expedition to find the island where geese lay eggs with golden yolks. With the aid of the Beagle Boys and their dirty tricks, the race is on.

Carl Barks delivers another wildly imaginative collection of outrageous adventures, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around comic book brilliance. Each page is meticulously restored and newly colored, with insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts.

About the author

Carl Barks was an American cartoonist, author, and painter. He is best known for his work in Disney comic books, as the writer and artist of the first Donald Duck stories and as the creator of Scrooge McDuck. He worked anonymously until late in his career; fans dubbed him "The Duck Man" and "The Good Duck Artist". In 1987, Barks was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
Barks worked for the Disney Studio and Western Publishing where he created Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961).
He has been named by animation historian Leonard Maltin as "the most popular and widely read artist-writer in the world". Will Eisner called him "the Hans Christian Andersen of comic books." Beginning especially in the 1980s, Barks' artistic contributions would be a primary source for animated adaptations such as DuckTales and its 2017 remake.
