Author Description

In Carl Barks' classic "Treasure of Marco Polo," Scrooge orders a giant jade elephant from Unsteadystan... but receives just the pachyderm's tail, accompanied by smart-aleck street rat Soy Bheen! The search for the lost jade jumbo leads Scrooge, Soy, and the Ducks back to the teenager's Asian homeland, where civil war lands them face-to-face with power-hungry militia leader Whan Beeg Rhat! Filling up the issue, Scrooge battles a love-starved spinster in William Van Horn's "Scrooge For a Day"; then Donald and Magica De Spell fight duck-eating nomads in Janet Gilbert's "The Onion Rose!"
