Then, when Scrooge is told his ships are being sunk at sea by a ghost, he takes Donald along to discover the real cause -- and they come face-to-face with the haunted ship itself.

The third volume focuses on the early 1950s, universally considered one of Carl Barks's very peak periods.

Longer stories include "The Golden Helmet" and "The Gilded Man." There are 10 of Barks's 10-pagers, as well as another nine of Barks's rarely seen one-page Duck gags, all painstakingly recolored to match the original coloring as exactly as possible, and supplemented with an extensive series of notes and behind-the-scenes essays by the foremost Duck experts in the world.
