"Back to the Klondike" is a Disney comic book story created by Carl Barks, created in September 1952[1] and first published in March 1953[2] in Four Color #456. Scrooge McDuck returns to Klondike where he has made his fortune, bringing Donald and the three nephews along, to find back the gold he has left there.
This story is a turning point in Barks' depiction of Scrooge: the first to show that the character has a softer side, and his miserly gruffness is partly a mask that he uses to guard against loneliness and loss.[3]
