This volume starts off with "Only a Poor Old Man," the defining Scrooge yarn (in fact his first big starring story) in which Scrooge's plan to hide his money in a lake goes terribly wrong. Two other long-form classics in this volume include "Tralla La" (also known as the bottlecap story) and "Back to the Klondike," in which we meet Scrooge's old gold-digging gal, Glittering Goldie. Each of these three stories is famous enough to have its own lengthy Wikipedia page.
Also in this volume are the full-length "The Secret of Atlantis" and over two dozen more shorter stories and one-page gags.
Newly recolored in a version that combines the warm, friendly, slightly muted feeling of the beloved classic original comic books with state-of-the-art crispness and reproduction quality, the stories are joined by "Story Notes" featuring fascinating behind-the-panels essays about the creation of the stories and analyses of their content from Disney and Barks connoisseurs.”
