Donald and the nephews are confronted by a skeletal hand holding a sword.
This cover illustrates FC 189/2 (»The Old Castle's Secret«).
First cover drawn by Barks.
In November 1964 a new version (with Scrooge) was published as the front cover of The Best of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge 1 which is often credited to Barks, though its drawing style rather seems to point to Tony Strobl. It is not known whether Barks was involved in the creation of this version in any form.
Barks also created 2 oil paintings based on this motif (»Old Castle« [24-71], »Old Castle with Scrooge« [21-72]).

Originally 32 pages. In the version published by Western, p. 12-15 (a flashback to Scrooge's time as a gold digger in Klondike and his first encounter with Glittering Goldie) and the bottom half of p. 20 are missing; p. 16 and 17 were obviously cut by several panels totaling a half page which do not exist anymore. To fill up the gap, Barks in 1980 sketched 4 new panels for the book »Uncle Scrooge McDuck (His Life & Times)« which appear as the 2nd and 3rd tiers of p. 16 in the reconstructed version.
