Product Description
When Scrooge hides his money in an ancient Cathedral, he doesn't expect a black-cloaked, spectral fowl to pursue it... but then, he hasn't met Carl Barks' "Phantom of Notre Duck!" Then it's Scrooge's demolition robot versus Donald's monster crane in Gorm Transgaard's and Cesar Ferioli's "Wrecking War!" John Lustig (Last Kiss) finds Scrooge and Miss Quackfaster "A Soft Job for a Hard Head"; then Freddy Milton pits the Beagle boys against feisty guard dogs in "Bow-Wow-Wow-Yippee-Yikes!" Magica De Spell and Gladstone Gander shorts and an all-new Don Rosa back cover pin-up round out the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars As usual, a great comic book, January 25, 2009

By	Stephan Ortmann (Erlangen, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book features one of Carl Barks' classic stories "The Phantom of Notre Duck". While reprinted many times, this new reprint comes with Barks' original cover which has been magnificently colored. Also there is a magnificent Don Rosa back cover you should not miss. It comes along with a few more recent tales from the powerhouse Egmont. They cannot reach Barks' classic tales and no artist will ever do that.
As for Rosa's story Guardians of the Lost Library, which should be published later this year, I actually believe it is one of the weakest stories of this great modern Duck artist.

1.0 out of 5 stars No "Guardians of the Lost Library", October 2, 2008

By	Kevin Lauderdale (Annandale, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Due to a publishing re-shuffle, "Guardians of the Lost Library" etc. are not in this issue. Gemestone says that they will appear in issue #383. And 379 and 383 will have different covers than are shown at Amazon.
