Now that's a Barks duck.

 

Buettner looks right for the 291 cover.

One of my favorites, and a tough book to find in high grade.

I really like the cover of Four Color 291 as well. The green shade is really attractive on a well preserved copy.

 

But I'm pretty sure that isn't a Barks cover. Doesn't look at all like his Donald to me.

I feel so dirty.

Still a great cover. Buettner was no slouch.

Too true! I guess I can change my comment to, "Top 10 Donald Duck cover."

 

Book looks great but the CGC case has some weird distortion to it. No water stains on book.

Another one of my favorites…

 

When I read "The Magic Hour Glass" story recently, it struck me how different the Arabic world was perceived in 1950 compared to today. The nomadic lifestyle reflected in the story must seem absurdly outdated to a youtube kid whose reference frame probably is built up watching videos like

. Comparing to political situation today, there's something charmingly naive about the world view reflected in Barks stories. "The Magic Hour Glass" also made me think of the "Pipeline to Danger" story (Uncle Scrooge 30) which laments the cultural and environmental changes brought on by the oil industry. When I watch the evening news today, I could only wish that those were the problems we were faced with in 2014.

 

One thing I like about old comics is that they can remind you how people used to see the world very differently from the way we take for granted.

Great beginning! First Scrooge and a great story. I also like the non gloss covers of this era.

Thanks! That's interesting that you mention the non gloss because, when I got it, I wondered if it was supossed to be like that or if it had just worn away. I actually quite like it, too.

 

Gotta get FC 386 now.

Fantastic beginning! I've always been more partial to Scrooge than Donald. Congratulations!

Thanks, gents!

 

Go Ducks!
