Commentary by former publisher, Bruce Hamilton.

A wonderfulll 60-page issue featuring Carl Barks' full-length Donald Duck adventure, "Frozen Gold,” it is reprinted from only the second Four Color comic book completely written and drawn by the Old Duck Man! The story has been reprinted before, but nowhere has its color been as beautifully, appropriately and painstakingly rendered as it appears in this permanent-collectible Library version by Carl Barks' all-time master colorist, Susan Daigle-Leach. Also included in the album is Barks' masterful, historically important 24-page adventure starring Donald and the boys, "The Mystery of the Swamp," which introduces the irrepressible Gneezles, a forgotten tribe, as Barks called them, of "strange little men who reside in Florida's Everglades." The Gneezles were the memorable predecessors (or "spiritual" ancestors) of the Plain Awfultonlans, Terry Fermians and Pygmy Indians of later tales, to quote Geoffrey Blum in his article. "The Classic Barks," which closely overviews the totality of the duck artist's most famous characterizations. – BH - ( Sold Out)
