Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge v1 #24, 1959 - Of the three
Carl Barks stories that reside in this issue, the lead feature is one of my personal favorites. Scientists discover a second moon revolving around the Earth, and determine it's made of solid gold. Uncle Scrooge, a wealthy Rajah, and a Texas oilman race through space to claim it as their own. The majority of scenes are in space and aboard spaceships, but Barks utilizes larger panels as needed for scale. His rendition of the new moon as first seen by Scrooge and his crew (see inset above) is dramatic and unusually realistic for "cartoon character" book. Just as compelling is the final page of the golden moon's former Venusian owner leaving for his home planet. The two remaining Barks tales, though shorter, are also enjoyable and well written. "The Twenty Four Carat Moon" was reprinted in
Uncle Scrooge #135 and
Walt Disney Comics Digest #6, the Gyro Gearloose tale in
Uncle Scrooge #113. This is 24 of 70
Uncle Scrooge issues by
Barks.
