Product Description:
It's the second in a new series of Gemstone trade paperbacks - pairing Carl Barks' classic Duck adventures with Don Rosa's modern-day sequels! In "Donald Duck's Atom Bomb," armchair chemist Donald joins Professor Mollicule to save a hair-dissolving explosive from a scheming spy. Then Mollicule returns in "The Duck Who Fell to Earth," helping the Ducks recover satellites in outer space! Donald becomes "Super Snooper" by drinking radioactive isotopes; after which "Super Snooper Strikes Again" to rescue his nephews from a self-caused disaster! Finally, "The Trouble with Dimes" and "The Money Pit" have Donald trying to game the collectors' market with Scrooge's rare coins - both before and after Scrooge becomes aware of their "worth."

Although the cover promotes the first two tales in the collection, I found myself enjoying the unbilled adventures more than the titular ones. From the perspective of a person that has always read comics and enjoyed his collectibles rather than sealing them away forever in acid-free paper and plastic caskets, "The Trouble with Dimes" and "The Money Pit" hit close to home. These are wonderful stories that could be used to teach a child about scarcity in an economic market as well as deliver a lesson ... Read More
