I couldn't say what my one favourite BARKS cover was. There are--as it is with HIS stories--too many that are too good. I can say, however, that I prefer HIS (adventure) story-related covers to gag covers. Gag covers hardly ever have made me laugh as long as the the "gag" was not really, really good. Among the adventure covers of Barks I like the one he drew in the late 40s and early 50s much better than those for HIS late Uncle Scrooge titles. These late ones often show just elements of the related story arranged in a somehow a bit slack and spiritless way, while the older covers used to be clearly more concentrated, intensive and expressive.
I also don't like the oversized heads BARKS was forced to give to the Ducks on the covers with the time. Odd. Twisted. Ugly. Damned "the larger the conks are, the better the comics will sale!" obsession of the editors!
I don't really like Rosa as a cover artist too much. The known weaknesses of his usual panel artwork--the drawings being stiff, static, overcrowed, unbalanced, dis-proportioned--comes too much through in a disturbing way in the larger covers for my taste. Rosa covers for Rosa stories are okay, certainly, but I don't really want to see Rosa covers for BARKS stories as Rosa drew many. It simply doesn't really fit together. I like, however, Jippes quite much as a cover artists, also his covers for BARKS stories. Wonderful stuff, that.

I like Walt Kelly's cover, especially with the colours from the WDC in the Forties and early Fifties!

I think that cover it's for me the best, it is a perfect cover and very beautiful

It's an excellent cover. But it's missing a nephew.

Missing Scrooge's nephew, Donald?
That's the one.

He spent the ENTIRE story glued to the TV. TV programmes mentioned:
"Cop Squad": Dick Savage has a high-speed gun fight with some crooks and his car flips and flips and bursts into flames.
"Sea Search": Mike Savage has a high-speed harpoon fight with some crooks and his minisub flips and bursts into flames.
"Gunsmog": Matt Savage has a high-speed knife fight with some crooks and his horse flips and bursts into flames.
"??????": Buck Savage has a high-speed space fight with some astro crooks and his comet flips and bursts into flames.

You forgot about the part in the begining of the story where he went with the nephews to the museum.
