I've read Disney's creations my whole life and enjoyed them thoroughly, but I'm finally getting to study the subject more and figuring out who drew what and when etc.
My first question is about some adventures that I read but don't know the names of. Please tell me the names of each, who drew it, and when (if you know).
1) Donald and Scrooge go under earth for find what caused strange earthquakes to find fat creatures divided into two categories: One rolls, and the other lifts.
2) A planet made of pure gold was discovered in space and Scrooge built a spaceship and raced against other characters to reach it.
3) Scrooge got into a competition with another billionaire about who is the richest, and it came down to their balls of discarded strings and both went into a safari where they measured who has a longer string ball.
4) A period adventure where Scrooge lived in the days of settlers searching for gold in the wild west and I don't remember much after that. But it was a long epic adventure and I believe there was some schemes about buying gold rich strips of land against efforts to stop Scrooge.
5) Scrooge got into a competition with another billionaire about who presents the city with the biggest statue of the founder, later turned into personal statues, and at the end both billionaires were broke, just for Scrooge to reveal that he just spent the "change" reserves and showed his defeated opponent his main storage of gold coins below ground.
6) Either Donald or Scrooge go on a trip to find the goose that laid golden eggs and found an innocent looking female shepherd to be the owner of the goose.
7) Scrooge decides to profit from the Olympic games in Mexico in 196x, and Donald had to take a risky dive in the sea from a very high cliff, "helped" by an angry goat that Scrooge assigned to force Donald to jump.
8) Another epic adventure that I don't remember much of, but it featured the duck family going to the Easter Island and hearing voices from the statues on the island.
9) Scrooge having to dive to recover a shipment of pepper (or exotic spices) that sank on a ship when his great grandfather was assigned to deliver, in order to avoid a lawsuit by descendants of the owner of the sunken shipment.
10) Scrooge getting into a competition with a billionaire Texan cowboy about who is richest, and I remember that the Texan showed Scrooge two doors, one big from which other billionaires walk in with pride, then another small door from which they leave in shame after seeing his astonishing riches.
Thank you in advance

All but #7 and #8 are written and drawn by - listen and remember - Carl Barks.
He's the so called "Good Artist" that everybody has been talking about since way, way back...so welcome to the club!
Well:
#1 is "Land beneath the ground"
#2 is "The Twenty-Four Carat Moon" (could also be "The loony Lunar Gold Rush"
#3 is "The second-richest Duck"
#4 could be "Mystery of the Ghost Town Railroad"
#5 is "Statuesque Spendthrifts"
#6 is "Isle of the Golden Geese"
#9 is "The Horseradish story"
#10 is "The fabulous Tycoon"

This sounds like "Paperino e il capro di Acatapulco", plotted by Abramo Barosso, scripted by Giampaolo Barosso, pencilled by Romano Scarpa and inked by Rodolfo Cimino. Published in 1962.
