Ova knjiga sadrži stripove Carla Barksa iz 1952. - 1953. g., a među njima i naslovni strip Povratak u Klondike, legendarnu priču o Tvrdici McTwrdom, koji se nakon puno godina vraća u Klondike. McTwrdy tamo susreće ljubav iz mladosti, Zlatku O’Gilt, koju je upoznao dok je tražio zlato. Knjiga sadrži i bisere kao što su Hipnoza, Sijač kiše, Superkajgana, kao i svojedobno cenzuriranu priču o Noći vještica, Slatkiš ili spačka. U predgovoru će čitatelj pronaći više pojedinosti iz života tragača za zlatom, a iz zemljovida će saznati i gdje je Tvrdica pronašao prvo zlatno grumenje, koje je postalo temelj njegova kasnijeg bogatstva, učinivši ga najbogatijim stanovnikom Patkograda. Poglavlje Tko je tko u Patkogradu na kraju knjige donosi portrete drugih značajnih Patkograđana. PATKOGRAD je zbirka omiljenih klasičnih stripova koje je Carl Barks napisao i nacrtao od 1943. do 1972. godine. Stripovi su poredani kronološkim redom. - str. 7 - Originalna naslovnica Povratak u Klondike - Back to the Klondike iz siječnja 1953; 1 str. (Dell, USA., 23. Jan. 1952.

Author
Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 – August 25, 2000) was an American Disney Studio illustrator and comic book creator, who invented Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961). The quality of his scripts and drawings earned him the nicknames "The Duck Man" and "The Good Duck Artist". People who work for Disney generally do so in relative anonymity; the stories only carry Walt Disney's name and (sometimes) a short identification number. Prior to 1960, the creator of these stories remained a mystery to his readers. However, many readers recognized Barks' work and drawing style, and began to call him the Good Duck Artist, a label which stuck even after his true identity was discovered by John and Bill Spicer in 1959. After Barks received a 1960 visit from Bill and John Spicer and Ron Leonard, he was no longer anonymous, as his name soon became known to his readers. Writer-artist Will Eisner called him "the Hans Christian Andersen of comic books." In 1987, Barks was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
