Return To Xanadu is a comic story created by Don Rosa, first published in the Norwegian magazine Donald Duck and Co in 1991, and in the American Uncle Scrooge in 1992. The comic serves as a sequel to two works by Carl Barks; Tralla-La (1954) and The Lost Crown of Genghis Khan (1956). | |

The Dreaded | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Kublai Khan - when Scrooge presents the people of Tralla-La the crown of the Great Khan, the villagers immediately freak out and despair that Scrooge has visited more misery upon them. | |

Villainous Legacy | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_3a29c5c8 | comment |
Villainous Legacy: Kublai Khan himself - he's the cause of pretty much everything that happens in the story, even though he's been dead since 1294. The people of Tralla-La remember him as a great tyrant who enslaved their people and are glad to be rid of him. Since Kublai could not be there all the time while he had wars to fight, to prevent any uprisings while he was away he also put in a mechanism that can only be operated from the outside that would flood the entire valley and kill everyone. When the Ducks discover this, it's a race against the clock to disarm it. | |

Hidden in Plain Sight | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_41a3e267 | comment |
Hidden in Plain Sight: Scrooge was right when he said he could almost smell the Mongol treasure; he was literally right next to it at one point, as the natives of Tralla-La threw it into the whirlpool after the Mongols disappeared, leaving it all on the bottom of the underground sea. | |

Post-Mortem Comeback | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_488af87c | comment |
Post-Mortem Comeback: The sluice gate. One day Kublai Khan left Tralla-La and never returned, but left the gate intact, prepared to let Tralla-La be doomed even beyond the grave. | |

Wham Shot | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_4e7f703c | comment |
Wham Shot: The Ducks spend the whole story searching for the lost Mongol treasure, discover that Tralla La is the mythical Xanadu, but end up losing the crown of Kublai Khan that Scrooge had obtained in a previous story after narrowly saving the city from a disaster that the Ducks themselves created. The chief is then given the crown by a villager and curses the Mongol legacy before throwing it in the giant whirlpool beneath the city, which is shown to contain the entire treasure of the Golden Horde. | |

The Simple Life is Simple | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_6a3d66f6 | comment |
The Simple Life is Simple: Invoked - the people of Tralla-La do everything by hand, and manual labor is never easy, but because they all pitch in and help eachother, not to mention the abundant resources of the valley, it's a lot simpler than it would be otherwise. | |

The Only One | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_6a61050e | comment |
The Only One: Donald ends up being the only person who can save Tralla-La, as the other options include three 10-year olds and one 80-year old, none of whom could possibly get the sluice gate open even if they did manage to saw through the iron bar sealing the door. | |

| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: Tsamjah Phee appears for the first time in this story, which Lah Deedah justifies by stating that the Ducks had no reason to meet him last time. | |

Stating the Simple Solution | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_86f4f393 | comment |
Stating the Simple Solution: Donald suggests that they open the sluice gate by going through the mountains to the outside world, then go back through the tunnel, but while this might have worked if the Ducks had done it immediately after arriving in Tralla-La, it's no longer an option; getting through the mountains would take days, and Tralla-La has hours left at most. | |

Doomsday Device | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_8d12bb8d | comment |
Doomsday Device: The sluice gate that the Mongols built at the cave entrance to Tralla-La. If it is closed, the water flowing into the valley from the mountaintops has nowhere else to go and will flood the entire valley, drowning all of its inhabitants. | |

Mass "Oh, Crap!" | |
| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_97fa0a10 | comment |
Mass "Oh, Crap!": The entire Duck family choke on their food when they realize based upon what Lah Deedah just told them that the Doomsday Device that Kublai Khan built was the very same sluice gate they closed on their way to Tralla-La. | |

| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The Ducks had no idea what disaster they were setting off by closing the sluice gate, and ended up forgetting all about it until Lah Deedah mentioned the doomsday device Kublai Khan left behind. | |

Kill It with Water: The threat Kublai Khan used to keep Tralla-La under his thumb. If the natives tried to rebel or keep him out, he'd have the entire valley flooded. | |

| Return to Xanadu (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Even the happy people of Tralla-La have one in the reign of Kublai Khan, to the point that they've erased all traces of Mongol rule, and are still terrified of him centuries later. | |
