Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge v1 #26, 1959 - Uncle Scrooge and his entourage of ducks travel to the Andes, looking for the Incan goldmines mentioned by the Spanish explorer Pizarro.
Carl Barks' splendid renditions of Conquistador and Incan attire are wonderful and convincing. A few unusually-shaped panels help break the monotony of a repetitive grid, and are used when certain scenes require more room (see interior page below). The bird's eye view of an ancient settlement on page 12 establishes not only the setting but a sense of scale and space. Two Barks shorts accompany the lead feature and generally meet expectations. "The Prize of Pizarro" was later reprinted in
Walt Disney Comics Digest #8, "Krankenstein Gyro" in
Uncle Scrooge #91 and the untitled six-pager in
Walt Disney Comics Digest #29. This is 26 of 70
Uncle Scrooge issues by
