In the title story, it's a cold and lonely night at the lighthouse on remote Cape Quack when the storm of the century suddenly pounds and pummels the tiny outpost. Donald and the boys are trying to help light the light to warn off all the ships at sea, but a sneaky crook who wants to claim the land for himself has wrecked the controls. With every passing minute, the storm grows fiercer, the waves crash higher, and the ships draw nearer to the deadly reef.

Then, Magica De Spell is back, this time with a Valentine's Day threat to steal Uncle Scrooge's No. 1 Dime. His only hope to save it lies with Donald and the boys -- but can they even fend off Magica's secret plan?

And, Donald sets out on a new career as a "Master Wrecker," demolishing old and outdated buildings. Hmm. Giving a crane and wrecking ball to Donald Duck. What could possibly go wrong? Plus: The Junior Woodchucks are back in four new crafty adventures, written and penciled by Barks and finished and inked by Daan Jippes.

The Good Duck Artist delivers another superb collection of surprise, delight, comedy, adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Seventeen stories in all, more than 180 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored. Plus, insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts.

Barks, Carl: - Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barks's most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a "Disney Legend," a special award created by Disney "to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic." He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world.

Jippes, Daan: - Daan Jippes (b. 1945), an internationally beloved Duck artist, lives in the Netherlands.
