 Launching the second quarter of his long run doing 10-pagers for Comics and Stories, album #14 is classic Barks from the nightmarish cover to the gunplay on the Trading Card. In later years he recycled and revised elements from all five stories. 1. Oysters, deep-sea diving, an oil slick, pearls, and a giant clam. 2. Uncle Scrooge, two billions acres of oil land, a fox hunt and stuffy Lord Tweeksdale, 3. Donald Duck and the nephews and a radio quiz show where the kids get easy questions and Donald gets razzed. 4. Donald as a recycled truant officer from a cartoon short Barks helped develop in '30's animation. 5."Donald's Worst Nightmare," a hilarious storyline that's also graphically funny, crocheting doilies per doctor's orders while fretting about the threat of having to speak before lady members of the Petit Point Embroidery Club!
Reprints WDC&S #97-101. Villain Trading Card #14: Blacksnake McQuirt. Barks was a fan of westerns, but realized romanticism was outdated. When Donald becomes deputy sheriff of Bullet Valley, he has to grapple with automatic-toting Blacksnake McQuirt and a gang of rustlers who alter cattle brands by radar.
