Uncle Scrooge #162 (Whitman Comics, 1979) - A Duck-Approved Deal That’ll Make You Quack!
Snag This Feathered Treasure Before It Waddles Away! Listen up, you penny-pinching collector—Walt Disney’s Uncle Scrooge #162 from 1979 is here to stuff your comic stash with Duckburg delight! This Whitman Comics classic is a laugh-packed adventure that’s cheaper than a dime in Scrooge’s money bin but way more fun. Perfect for fans who want a nostalgic hit without spending like a Beagle Boy on a crime spree!
Why This Comic’s a Barrel of Duck-Tastic Fun
-
Quack-Up Stories: The star of the show, "The Curse of Nostrildamus", drags Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews into a wild chase to dodge a spooky prophecy while the Beagle Boys plot to loot the money bin. Then, "The Half-Baked Baker" serves up giggles as Scrooge’s cheapskate antics backfire spectacularly. It’s 32 pages of zany, ad-free chaos that’ll have you laughing louder than Scrooge at a tax loophole!

Key Character Appearances:
-
Scrooge McDuck: The world’s richest duck, outsmarting curses and schemers (mostly).
-
Donald Duck: Whining and tripping through trouble, as only he can.
-
Huey, Dewey, and Louie: The sharp-witted nephews keeping Scrooge’s plans afloat.
-
The Beagle Boys: Bumbling burglars who bring the mayhem every time.
-
-
Condition Swagger: Graded FN (Fine), this copy’s strutting with vibrant colors, a cover that pops despite a few minor dings, and pages begging to be flipped. Curious about the exact wear? Quack us up for the full scoop!
-
Whitman Vibes: Yep, this is a Whitman Comics release, not Dell—same Disney magic, just with that late ‘70s flair from Western Publishing’s funky imprint.
Current Value: A Steal Even Scrooge Couldn’t Resist!
As of April 2025, Uncle Scrooge #162 in FN condition is waddling around $15-$20 in the collector’s market. Whitman issues from ‘79 aren’t the Golden Age heavyweights, but they’re fan-faves for their affordability and fun. This one’s a solid grab for anyone chasing Duckburg nostalgia without needing a vault’s worth of cash. Recent sales on auction sites peg similar copies in this range, so you’re getting a bargain that’d make Scrooge grin!
Expected Value: Ready to Soar Like a Duckburg Rocket?
Don’t let this duck nap—its value’s got wings! Here’s why:
-
Market Buzz: Whitman comics are carving out a cult following, with collectors snagging clean copies for their quirky charm. Prices for issues like this are creeping up 2-4% a year as supply dwindles.
-
Hype Alert: Marvel’s Uncle $crooge and the Infinity Dime #1 (June 2025) is about to sling Scrooge into multiverse madness, sparking fresh love for his comic roots. Affordable issues like #162 could see a bump as newbies dive in.
-
Forever Quack: Scrooge’s greedy-but-good vibe keeps him iconic, from DuckTales to today. These late ‘70s books hit the nostalgia sweet spot for tons of fans.
Prediction: By late 2025, a FN copy might hit $20-$25 if the Marvel hype quacks loud. Stash it long-term, and you could be looking at $40-$55 in a few years as Whitman rarities shine.
