Review of 'Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck : Treasure under Glass' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Another good installment in the series, and Don Rosa is really coming into his own. This is also the last installment before Don Rosa starts exploring Scrooge's youth. There's several stories in this I can't remember reading as a kid, some of them quite enjoyable. "The incident at McDuck tower" is a great gag story, while "The Master Landscapist" is also alright.

I always liked "On stolen time" and "Super Snooper strikes again" as a kid, which might be why I still find them the highlights of this book. The first one is one of the sci-fi-like stories of Don, where he pokes holes in a classical fantasy (being able to stop time). Super Snooper is a commentary on the qualities of Donald Duck as a character (as opposed to violent action heroes), and has some heartwarming scenes.
