"Ghost of' the Grotto," the lead Donald Duck adventure in this album, was inspired by the discovery of an ancient shipwreck in the coral reefs off Florida. To this rudimentary bit of history, Carl Barks added a treasure chest and a sinister armored man, weaving a mystery that reached back to the days of Sir Francis Drake. DDA #7's other long story, "Adventure Down Under," combines globe-trotting thrills with the cartoon formula of the troublesome pet, in this case Barks' first truly memorable animal character, the rogue kangaroo, Mournful Mary.
