36 - the Gilded Man

Guest Host: Thad Komorowski The Gilded Man is one of Barks' great South American-set stories, and features some frenetic hemisphere-spanning, as the ducks race to find, and then recover, a mail satchel containing the world's rarest stamp, held by the legendary El Dorado! The story includes memorable appearances from the Gilded Man himself, Philo T. Ellic, the forgetful stamp collector, and of course, Donald's infuriatingly lucky cousin, Gladstone Gander! We discuss the story's creepy atmosphere building, unusual book-end structure, great running gag, and much more!
