The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

by Don Rosa

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck confirmed Don Rosa's status as the heir apparent to the great Carl Barks as Disney's premiere comic storyteller.

    Best adventure graphic story ever. I've never been so much entertained. Witty, funny and very enjoyable. Also, a lot of movie/book/popculture references to be found. Won Will Eisner Award in 1995 - fully deserved.

    Very cute and lots of fun. My father-in-law told me about the maharajah of Howdoyoustan, and it was a pleasure to see that referenced oh-so-briefly in this volume.

    This really is a remarkable work -- one of the most brilliant graphic novels I've ever read. Don Rosa took decades of backstory and asides made by Scrooge's creator, Carl Barks, and turned it into a smart, funny and exciting life story. This is hands-down one of the best comic books that ISN'T on YOUR shelf.
