This is the first of two important Uncle Scrooge Disneys: Part 1 (of two) of Don Rosa’s “Return to Xanadu,” identified in a banner as “The Sequel You Didn’t Expect!” When Huey, Dewey and Louie discover a crown in Scrooge’s collection may lead them to the treasure of Genghis Khan, the trail leads Scrooge and the boys to Tibet -- where they are not prepared for the stunning surprise there that awaits. Story and art by Rosa and a creditable cover by Jim Mitchell and Jukka Murtosaari. There’s also an elaborate Beagle Boys seven-pager by Esteban, plus two Carl Barks fillers.
A surprise, though, is a free miniature 8-page advertising insert, a supplement stapled into the centerfold, 7 3/4” x 5 3/4” and in full color. Titled “Mission From Mars,” it’s sponsored by Mars, Inc., manufacturers of various famous candy bars, such as Milky Way, Mars, Twix, Snickers, etc. Written and drawn by John Blair Moore, it’s a collectible in itself (but you’ll want to leave it stapled in your comic, of course).
