But Donald and his nephews get caught up in a real-life thriller when “Mystic” Max McMalefactor, disguise artist and sinister spy, infiltrates the Epoch Express! In “Scent-imental Romeos,” Donald vows to create the world’s stinkiest cologne. And in “Don Quiduck De La Mancha,” a hypnotized Donald thinks he’s a knight — and helps the Beagle Boys rob Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin!

Reviews

[Al Berry · Rating 4 out of 5]

A variety of comics by the Heymans Brothers some one brother pencils other inks, sometimes one brother does it without any help from the other.

An interesting assortment, there are a few one page gags, but it’s mostly longer strips including some High Adventure or even Big Bad Wolf and 3 little pigs, which seems dead in American Disney Cartooning but is still going strong in Holland.

Interesting... this one read *a lot* faster than some of the Mickey Mouse ones I've read.

I thought that this book was a major successWalt Disney's Donald Duck: Scandal on the Epoch Express

[Jameson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Daisy stories are the ones I’d probably want to read again, for the most part. They capture the Daisy from 1947’s Donald’s Dilemma. Also, of course, as a mystery buff I’d read the title story, too.

[Dr. Louise · Rating 3 out of 5]

There were some good ones in here, but the chapters centering Daisy were often quite fatphobic. I realize that's in part a reflection of the times they were written in, but I didn't love it.
