| Donkey | | | | Saturday, Sep 5, 2009, 05:08:12 PM | An under-rated Barks' Masterpiece. Art is excellent. |
| Dia-Dia | | | | Tuesday, Feb 9, 2010, 07:35:47 PM | Like Donkey says. |
| JasonT | | | | Sunday, Apr 11, 2010, 08:15:42 AM | Agreed with Donkey. Perfect art, whimsical script, and an indefinable charm. A personal favourite. |
| Checker | | | | Monday, Mar 5, 2012, 01:13:56 AM | That must be one of the most complicated plots in a Barks classic! Ecxellent! |
| eleanore-clo | | | | Saturday, Jun 16, 2012, 12:28:01 PM | Une histoire, au final très agréable, mais qui doit être lue et relue pour être totalement appréciée. |
| willem | | | | Monday, Nov 5, 2012, 06:16:34 PM | Good humor |
| Jason Towers | | | | Thursday, May 9, 2013, 09:17:46 AM | Should be regarded as one of Barks' all-time classics. |
| Fihalho | | | | Sunday, Dec 8, 2013, 12:05:55 PM | Ein Klassiker ! |
| grastagrad | | | | Thursday, Jul 24, 2014, 12:15:47 PM | Good |
| Gotham | | | | Monday, Aug 18, 2014, 06:33:32 PM | Under-rated? With 8,4???

| ghormax | | | | Sunday, Jan 11, 2015, 01:01:47 PM | Magical! I truly love this story. A wonderful story to make you dream. |
| Monkey_Feyerabend | | | | Monday, Aug 24, 2015, 08:22:19 AM | A beautiful story, one of the most balanced among the ones of Barks that I read. Indeed, here you have most of what makes Barks a great author. A bit of humor (the guy changing every time Galdstone's last name!), a bit of his gentle satyrical tone (the rain in his homeland Oregon, ahahahahah!), a bit of adventure in an exotic setting, a bit of sense of magic, a of couse plenty of human comedy. In this tale Donald behaves like a man of strong irreproachable moral (ok, Bark's Donald is always a good fellow, but here more than usual), and gets more and more depressed throughout the story. |
| LuckyLuke | | | | Thursday, Feb 4, 2016, 04:04:37 PM | I was never a big fan of Barks. I have to get this out of the way. Its not that he is bad, but I was introduced to him in an older age and he just didn't leave up to the hype build around him. I liked this story, mostly for the art and subtle message. 8/10. |
| Teo80 | | | | Thursday, Feb 4, 2016, 08:22:32 PM | I agree..slightly underrated for me..it's an excellent Donald adventure..i like it more than "golden helmet" from same year...I love the drawn |
| Horace555 | | | | Tuesday, Feb 7, 2017, 11:26:30 AM | Lots of twists and turns. |
| K.I.S..A. | | | | Sunday, Apr 2, 2017, 04:38:22 AM | One of the greatest! The reason I started my stamp collection! Nostalgia... |
| Insidesreenshotoutside | | | | Sunday, Jun 3, 2018, 04:09:55 PM | My second favorite Barks story |
| DuckfanDownUnder | | | | Monday, Apr 27, 2020, 01:28:47 PM | A gimmicky wild goose chase, with a dubious ending. 6/10 |
| marioandreaaldeghi | | | | Sunday, Mar 7, 2021, 07:42:58 PM | 10/10, senza alcun dubbio. Immortale signor Fila Telico. |
| Tregua78 | | | | Tuesday, Nov 2, 2021, 07:07:35 PM | Grande avventura nella terra dell'El Dorado, mitologia che trasuda sempre la sua ricca dose di fascino.
Memorabile il signor Philo T.Ellic, simpaticissimo nella sua sbadataggine.
Il finale fortunatamente riserva qualcosa di buono anche per Paperino. Se fosse finita bene solo per il suo antipatico cugino dai riccioli biondi sarei rimasto con l'amaro in bocca. |
| Step88 | | | | Tuesday, Apr 18, 2023, 09:07:56 AM | Words almost fail me. I love this story. So, layered. So interesting. So clever. What’s not to like. I have run out of superlatives. One of my all-time favourite stories and yet so are so many others. So glad I was able to read Barks as a youngster |
| Harry | | | | Tuesday, May 23, 2023, 06:09:45 AM | Great story and everything but I don't like the confused stamp collector. That's not real. |
