Structure of the series

This is one of the longest crossover stories between the Mickey Mouse universe and the

Donald Duck universe The Donald Duck universe is a fictional shared universe which is the setting of stories involving Disney cartoon character Donald Duck, as well as Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge McDuck, and many other characters. Life in the Don ...

(behind only the Italian story "The Search for the Zodiac Stone"). Each chapter alternates between the two different universes until Chapter 5 (the Duck Universe in Chapters 1 and 3, and the Mickey Mouse Universe in Chapters 2 and 4). In Chapter 9, it is revealed that Chapters 2 and 3 take place at the same time. In Chapter 2, Doc mentions that he and Gyro are rival inventors, but in Chapter 8, they are shown to be friends so the rivalry is not serious; they are just two friendly inventors trying to win the same contest. Out of all the major villains in the Disney Comics Universe, Flintheart Glomgold is the only one to make an appearance, and he appeared in Chapter 3. Mickey and Donald have a lot of slapstick humor in Chapter 5, despite the fact that this is an adventure story. A lot of the characters in this story interact with characters that they don't usually interact with: Mickey and Donald, Minnie and Daisy, Goofy and Scrooge, Gyro and Doc Static, Pluto and the Nephews. This story has similar structure to the story known as "The Orb Saga", which is printed in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #673-676.
