This has the classic "last sled to Dawson" which, if you're a reader of the "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - Companion" (and you should be, and it's big-sibling book, "The life and times of scrooge mcduck"), you'll recall was referenced.

For that alone, i'd recommend you buy this. The other stories in it round it out well. It is a great read, for duck fans old or young. Or old and young.

Published in 1989, this soft cover graphic novel comic from Gladstone Comics, collects 6 great Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories by Don Rosa. While Carl Barks wrote and drew the best duck stories in the 1940's to 1960's, Don Rosa has become the modern good duck artist. He has breathed new life into Uncle Scrooge, Donald and the boys. His stories have action, huge splash panels, humor, and tons of references to the wealth of stories and details left to us from Barks.
This book includes 6 stories. First the long adventure story "Last Sled to Dawson", which is a great follow-up to the classic Barks tale, "Back to the Klondike". Scrooge and the boys return to Alaska to recover a treasure that he left frozen in a glacier, but someone wants to beat him to it. "Cash Flow" is a classic Beagle Boys assault on Uncle Scrooges Money Bin, with some zany science. It also has the funny "Recalled Wreck", all about fixing Donald's car. 3 more Rosa stories round out this book. A great deal, nice format, and colors and image quality that are far beyond the actual comic book. Great way to start collecting Rosa.
