The first story is called, “The Search for the Zodiac Stone – Chapter 2 of 12: Scorpion Valley” and this story is from Italian Topolino 1781 (1990).  This picks up from the last issue and is going to be a consistent story in this run of comics for a while due to the 12 chapters.   Our heroes are trying to track down Peg Leg Pete in the Rainforest which involve airshow pilots, rainforest natives, canoeing down the river, huge insects including wasps, spiders, beetles and much more.  Its a pretty cool story with lots to keep kids entertained.  The story continues along at a nice pace and the inclusion of Donald Duck & Scrooge McDuck made the story more interesting.

The next short single page story is called “Demolition Donkey” from Donald Duck Four Color 62 (1945) is a nice Donald Duck story that had a great punchline.

And the final story is called “Minnie Can’t See the Joke” from Mickey Mouse Sunday comic strip (1939) sees Mickey missing about and getting into trouble which doesn’t go down well with Minnie Mouse.  This was my favourite story from this episode.

Overall, another good edition of classic Disney characters getting up to their adventures, which is great for older Disney fans and also for newer younger fans to learn about the classic characters.
