Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes by Carl BarksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes contains Donald Duck stories from 1948-1949, written and illustrated by Carl Barks.
In this volume Donald Duck and the nephews visit a lost city in the Andes mountains, go up against Gladstone Gander, save Christmas a couple times, and engage in a lot of other shenanigans. Oh, and the story of raising a sunken ship using ping pong balls that inspired an episode of Mythbusters is in here.
Barks changed comics with his Disney work, whether or not anyone knew it at the time. He's a master storyteller and influenced such diverse artists as Bill Watterson and Moebius. He started as an animator for Disney so his style has a similar feel. He knows what to draw and what not to draw to convey what is happening in a story. The art is minimalist but has a timeless quality.

Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes is a great example of the master in action. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
