Uncle Scrooge #342 (Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge)

Gemstone's Uncle Scrooge 342 is an excellent addition for fans of Don Rosa's Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. The main tale, "The Old Castle's Other Secret, or A Letter from Home," is a modern-day follow-up to Rosa's life history of Scrooge, in which he, Donald, and Huey, Louie, and Dewey return to the old homestead, Castle McDuck, in search of the treasure of the Knights of the Templar. Filler stories include Byron Erickson and Wanda Gattino's "The Customer Is Always Wrong" (featuring Gyro Gearloose), Lars Jensen & Jack Sutter and Maria Jose Sanchez Nunez's "The Door Trap" (the Beagle Boys), and "Raven Mad," a Carl Barks classic featuring another attempt by Magica De Spell to capture Scrooge's no. 1 dime. --David Horiuchi
