Carl Barks' Return to Morgan's Island is a continuous-tone lithograph of the Donald Duck family
and Henry Morgan's crusty old parrot Yellow Beak, unearth­ing long-buried desert island treasures.
It has been produced on Opalesque paper, limited to two editions plus six artist's proofs,
15 publisher's proofs and ten printer's proofs. The first edition is of 345 signed and numbered copies.
The twin edition of 100 lithographs is stamped with a gold seal displaying
Carl Barks' characterization of Yellow Beak and the words "Gold Plate Edition.”
It also has a three dimen­sionally debossed ¼” gold band surrounding the 16" x 20" image area.
The paper size is 21" x 25 ½”.
Opalesque is a registered archival-quality paper constructed of 100% cotton fiber for strength and longevity
and is coated with a mother-of-pearl silken finish.
It has exceptional ink holdout that gives it color reproduction of quality and consistency.
It is acid free to resist aging and has alkaline buffering to counteract the effects of acids normally present in the environment.
This historic limited edition lithograph has had no previous editions and there will be none in the future.
There are no unsigned or unnumbered copies. All printing plates have been destroyed to prevent future use.
Return to Morgan's Island is the sixth Carl Barks lithograph in a series pro­duced by Another Rainbow Publishing.
It was printed by The Black Box, continuous-tone lithographers, of Chicago.

Das Bild, laut Barks eines seiner Lieblingsbilder, basiert auf dem (nicht von Barks stammenden) Cover zu FC 9,
wo es Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold ankündigt, Barks' allererste Donald Duck-Episode, die er noch zusammen mit Jack Hannah anfertigte.
Dt.: Piratengold (Tollste Geschichten 73; Ich Dagobert Duck 2; Barks Library-DD 1).
Diese wiederum beruht auf dem Storyboard zu einem nicht produzierten Trickfilm, Morgan's Ghost.
Donald Duck und die Neffen suchen unter Führung des Papageis Yellow Beak (dt.: Käpt'n Kakadu) den Schatz des Seeräubers Morgan (Raffaelo Rapallo),
wobei sie von Black Pete (Kater Karlo) bedroht werden. Offenbar stellt das Bild eine spätere Rückkehr der Ducks auf die Schatzinsel dar,
so daß die Anwesenheit Dagobert Ducks erklärlich wird.
