[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great read! For reasons unknown, I had been wanting to read the classic 1954 Uncle Scrooge story "The Seven Cities of Cibola," which I had read as a kid in my dad's comic collection. It's included as the first story in this volume, which collects Uncle Scrooge comics from the 50s through the 2000s. It's every bit as good as I remember, and I enjoyed the stories I hadn't read too. "The Seven Cities of Cibola" has a haunting, mysterious quality that's hard to describe but very memorable.

An Amazon customer review does a much better job of describing the contents of the book than I would. See http://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disney-Tre...

Unfortunately, I now have the theme song from the Duck Tales TV show in my head...
