Carl Barks always felt evildoers in his Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories should, reasonably, be big (the Beagle Boys, the Larkies and even the sorceress, Magica de Spell), but if the antagonists are a lost race or tribe or even an alien species (the Gneezles, the Micro-Ducks, the space Apaches, or the diminutive Peeweegahs in this story) and if they are to gain any reader sympathy they need to be very small, vulnerabie. In the "Land of the Pygmy Indians," the miniature Hiawathas "make a slight menace out of the ducks," Barks explained. This is the finest reprinting of the classic with magnificent coloring by Scott Rockwell. (very limited)
