DescriptionDonald and the boys help Scrooge corner the mysterious Phantom, in this rousing page from one of the only 5 fully surviving epic stories Carl Barks wrote and drew for Uncle Scrooge.For so many years I have been looking for a nice page from one of my favorite Barks Uncle Scrooge stories : Uncle Scrooge # 60 – “Phantom of Notre Duck”. With the help from Barks scholar Prof. Don Ault yet another early fan and later Barks scholar and author, Geoffrey Blum purchased this beautiful page directly from Carl Barks in November 1971 - and I DO understand why Geoffrey picked exactly this one.. All 5 main characters from the story ; Scrooge, Donald, The Nephews, the Junior Woodchuck Dog and the mysterious Phantom of Notre Duck are all a part of this page. ( The 5 main characters together only appears on 3 out of the 24 pages from this story ). Add to that some great panels with details from inside the Duckburg Cathedral and the Catacombs – and even a glimpse of the “Money-Cathedral”. This page captures the very moment when the ducks finally achieves capturing the mysterious Phantom at his secret hiding place deep underneath the Cathedral. Panel 6 and 7-8 where the Phantom surprisingly learns that the game is over is simply priceless.. I really couldn`t have asked for more.. Many thanks to D.S. for selling me this beautiful page. Published in 17 countries in 108 publications. Synopsis of the story : The remainder of the story is a chase between the ducks and the strange phantom, who really knows his surroundings and tricks his pursuers time and time again. In the end it turns out that the phantom is none other than a dedicated and harmless person who is building a model cathedral out of coins - and Scrooge himself sits down to help him !

Pure joy when looking through how Barks creates a page to build suspense and pay it off. The Phantom moves about in all black and it's the body language that tells us he's more mysterious than dangerous.
