Donald Duck / Four Color v2 #291 - Carl Barks art

Donald Duck FC #291

(Walt Disney's) Donald Duck v1 / Four Color v2 #291, 1950 - Is a magic hourglass the secret of Uncle Scrooge's riches? Donald and his nephews try to find out by traveling to distant Morocco. Carl Barks draws camels, shieks and oases in convincing style, giving readers a strong sense of place. Panel shapes vary widely, breaking a monotonous grid. In addition, a handful of larger panels are among the highlights, including Donald's fishing boat powered by sharks (page 9 panel 1) and the breathtaking view of Duckburg from above (page 1 panel 1). This is 16 of 43 Donald Duck issues by Barks.
