Miteuh    Friday, Feb 15, 2008, 06:31:39 PM  Why it isn't publicated in POLAND? / Polacy!!! piszemy petycje?
Babypant    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:25:43 PM  I don't know anyone who wouldn't like this story!
Cacou    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:25:46 PM  C'est pas de Don Rosa
la    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:25:57 PM  Vintage Barks, one of his greatest (not Don Rosa)
pahan    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:26:03 PM  Impressive. This is the one of few Barks stories that show that comics aren't just for kids. Carl drew a dead man, who isn't ghost - only dead body.
Rapetou064    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:26:06 PM  For me, it's simply the best story of the best Disney artist !
sd    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:26:07 PM  So well made, so athmospheric, the first great Uncle Scrooge story
surpuppa    Monday, Aug 4, 2008, 01:26:09 PM  My favorite barks story of all times
mi-jah    Thursday, Apr 16, 2009, 09:25:07 PM  This story REALLY turned me on to Uncle Scrooge when i was a kid!
Probably my favorite... For 30 years already!
Miksu    Sunday, Apr 26, 2009, 10:52:32 AM  Good story, i said.
varelapinto    Sunday, Oct 18, 2009, 06:45:00 PM  It's one of my favourite Carl Barks stories, and I love each and every one of them.
bacci88    Monday, Nov 30, 2009, 08:41:57 PM  Non si puo proprio dare meno di dieci a questa storia.
hurriflash    Tuesday, Jun 22, 2010, 10:27:46 AM  Awful
squawman    Saturday, Oct 9, 2010, 04:05:39 PM  Very atmospheric, but has a weak ending.
DuckfanDownUnder    Thursday, Dec 9, 2010, 06:07:44 PM  Just classic.
Appie Aap    Saturday, Dec 18, 2010, 07:28:32 PM  By far not the best Barks story and certainly not a good story in general. Meanders too much. Nevertheless, it's funny to read.
Furukama    Saturday, Jan 15, 2011, 05:57:17 PM  Classic adventure story.
MIckey Mouse    Tuesday, Sep 13, 2011, 08:09:22 PM  Excellent! One of the best Barks' story!/ Eccellente! Una delle migliori storie di Barks!
carlhartmann    Saturday, Nov 19, 2011, 07:21:49 PM   Wunderbar : )
kalevala1938@hotmail.com    Thursday, Feb 23, 2012, 09:52:47 PM  Excelente história!
Acho que tinha que ter sido lançada originalmente em Uncle Scrooge.
lawrlr    Wednesday, Mar 7, 2012, 12:17:26 AM  One of the two or three best Duck stories of all time!
eleanore-clo    Saturday, Jun 16, 2012, 12:04:31 PM  Excellent.
Une atmosphère de mystère particulièrement réussie.
Swamp Adder    Saturday, Jul 7, 2012, 02:15:49 AM  A childhood favorite.
Ruffhouse Rat    Sunday, Sep 23, 2012, 09:31:20 AM  One of the most thrilling Braks comics ever!
Two thumbs up! :)
willem    Monday, Nov 5, 2012, 04:35:13 PM  The best story after vacantion time and the Golden helmet
scrooge$    Thursday, Mar 7, 2013, 03:38:09 PM  Exciting story, a true MASTERPIECE!
solariskuba    Tuesday, Jun 18, 2013, 01:07:51 PM  Wspaniały - superancki komiks!!!

jojo31    Monday, Aug 18, 2014, 01:41:54 PM  Très bonne histoire pour la 2e apparition de picsou

Donald de 1948
TheΚΟΜΙΞ    Thursday, Sep 25, 2014, 02:52:29 PM  Excellent and impressive story!
ghormax    Sunday, Jan 11, 2015, 12:55:51 PM  One of the all time best stories
MariaVittoria    Friday, Feb 20, 2015, 01:58:35 PM  emozionante e ricca di pathos
William Wayne    Sunday, Jul 19, 2015, 09:30:19 PM  Brilliant!

In this old 1948 Disney Classic, "The Old Castles Secret", legendary comicanimator Carl Barks sets of an hairrisinng story well supplied with bashling entertainment and rising intrigues, along with some great unexpected twists and important history concerning the Donald Duck Family Tree.

Monkey_Feyerabend    Saturday, Sep 26, 2015, 08:10:39 AM  10/10 for sure. The story loses some of its rhythm in the second half. But most of the story is just PERFECT. Drawing and (original Dell) coloring are magnificient.
Shanna    Wednesday, Dec 30, 2015, 09:45:37 PM  Super Story!
XGorthanX    Saturday, Jul 2, 2016, 05:39:38 PM  Un Paperone un po' arcaico, ma la storia è fondamentale in quanto è la prima a vederlo protagonista, inoltre avrà importanti ripercussioni nell'opera di Don Rosa.
Elastul    Thursday, Jan 5, 2017, 11:19:39 AM  Täydellinen paketti. Tarinan vie mennessään.
K.I.S..A.    Sunday, Apr 2, 2017, 05:06:46 AM  Spooky and atmospheric! A classic!
tonkduck    Monday, Nov 6, 2017, 12:01:56 PM  Really good story with nice atmosphere. I always find the ending a tad underwhelming, but its good. I like Ghost of the Grotto better.
yalky    Monday, Dec 25, 2017, 10:54:00 AM  Histoire magnifique, à frissonner
tiogilito    Monday, Apr 16, 2018, 02:42:59 PM  Historia de hace 70 años pero inmejorable!
Julius Spectaculus    Wednesday, Jun 27, 2018, 01:14:53 PM  Obviously, 10/10, what else?
M3Gr1ml0ck    Saturday, Jan 19, 2019, 08:39:02 PM  Affascinante e divertente, misteriosa e concitata, ritmata e rilassata: questa prima esplorazione delle radici geografiche della famiglia di Paperone offre una grande quantità di spunti e trovate di portata storica (come Don Rosa sa bene) e tratta di argomenti come la morte e i cadaveri e i cimiteri, prima che il tabù Disney ammutolisca gli autori per i decenni a venire, mostrando un lato dei Paperi tanto raro quanto gradito (perchè li rende più vivi e meno stereotipati).
Tutto fila liscio nella narrazione, dal mistero avventuroso all'atmosfera cupa e funera del contesto quasi dell'orrore, compresi i siparietti delle corse dentro e fuori del castello, con uno sviluppo che complica la situazione con vicende parallele, e le riunisce poi abilmente in una sola.
Il tema del vecchio castello con passaggi segreti, misteri, oggetti antichi e tesoro è gestito con perizia e attenzione.
La sospensione dell'incredulità si esaurisce solo con la soluzione del mistero, data da un esageratamente impossibile ritrovato chimico militare, ma anche così il lettore sceglie di sorvolare, perchè essa gli ha elargito le impagabili e macabre sequenze dell'ombra dello scheletro.
Arte curata, suggestiva, versatile nell'uso sapiente delle inquadrature per accompagnare la narrazione. Deliziose anatomie papere.
marioandreaaldeghi    Tuesday, Aug 11, 2020, 07:22:53 AM  Insieme a Zio Paperone e la Stella del Polo, (e ovviamente il mistero degli Incas) la più bella storia che io abbia mai letto. 10.
FlorianSchepp    Tuesday, Aug 11, 2020, 10:47:45 AM  Meiner Meinung nach eine der besten Geschichten aller Zeiten!
Rodiandrea    Saturday, Jan 8, 2022, 03:40:46 PM  Ottima
ert    Friday, Apr 15, 2022, 01:28:27 PM  Bellissima. Da piccolo la leggevo anche più volte al giorno. E' stata la storia con cui sono cresciuto. 10
AlessandroPapero    Wednesday, Jul 20, 2022, 01:00:42 PM  La mia preferita di Barks. Azione, suggestioni esoteriche, ambientazione fascinosa, un mistero non facilissimo da risolvere.
Harry    Tuesday, Mar 21, 2023, 07:31:37 AM  Ghosts are not my cup of tea.
luisituzza    Thursday, May 11, 2023, 03:17:10 PM  la mia preferita
atobibas1    Friday, Oct 13, 2023, 09:11:49 AM  Without a doubt one of Bark's best. - 10/10
Step88    Saturday, Nov 25, 2023, 07:24:35 AM  Amazing Gothic Artwork and Story. Wonderful rendering of the Ducks especially the kids. Much Movement.
Baturzo 82    Friday, Jan 5, 2024, 08:20:48 PM  Bella storia: la trama non è particolarmente elaborata, ma la narrazione si sviluppa con ritmo e con trovate efficaci. Illustrazioni ottime, specie in fase scenografica: il vecchio castello avvolto nella nebbia, coi suoi passaggi segreti e il suo cimitero annesso, è davvero suggestivo.
