Indexer Notes

This a redrawn version of the story that appeared in Huey, Dewey and Louie Junior Woodchucks (Western, 1966 series) #17 (November 1972). It was originally drawn by Kay Wright. The Egmont credited for colours is the European publisher rather than an individual. It restores the original darker ending Barks scripted before changing it at the behest of the publisher to one more optimistic.
