Presenting by popular demand one of the most anticipated collections! The legendary artist Carl Barks created Scrooge McDuck and chronicled many of his most popular adventures. In addition to superb storytelling and wonderful entertainment, he left behind a character who was not only rich in his stories, but one for whom the stories themselves were rich. Modern master Don Rosa, beginning in 1994, undertook the task of recounting Uncle Scrooge's past in a serialized epic. The wonderful result of his efforts is now collected in trade paperback form by Gemstone Publishing as THE LIFE & TIMES OF SCROOGE McDUCK.A collection of the celebrated 12-part Eisner Award-winning series that details the life of the young Uncle Scrooge. The story was originally serialized in the United States in Uncle Scrooge comics. Now it has been collected in one all-encompassing popularly-priced volume.

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - the collected comic book series that I have relieved and enjoyed again and again after a reread every few years. Also, of my favorite recommendations to anyone that really appreciates comic books and brilliant storytelling.
Also, a comic that chokes me up at times.
This is the story of Scrooge McDuck, from his humble beginnings earning his first dime, to his near ending..coming to the final conclusion of his long, interesting life. In between, are his own multiple trials and tribulations..dealing with dishonest scoundrels, family separation, romantic entanglement, succumbing to his personal darkness. There is much humor in between, and moments of epic badassery (dont fuck with Scrooge McDuck!), and some surprises (we find where his nephew Donald probably got his fiery temper from and stubbornness from). The book is revealing and emotionally invoking.
Don Rosa is amazing, and the top of his game here as one of my favorite storytellers. His art and writing feels very alive with incredible detail, emotion, color. Enjoying his work means to fall into his rich world of historical relativity, fantastic travel adventures, and talking ducks. He puts a lot of care and detail into his work, much of it derived from decades of Duck comics made great by Carl Barks (as explained in additional notes and an awesome family tree). This particular work is his masterpiece.
This book is getting harder to find and not currently cheap. The recent Boom! hardcover reprints (in two parts) are out of print and commanding high prices on the resale market (Don Rosa was anger over lack of royalties and severed ties with the company). The older Gladstone/Gemstone complete edition is even harder to find (company out of business, royalty problems with Disney as well). Still, very worthwhile and a must for every comic book connoisseur.

حياه عم دهب البخيل كم كانت صعبه جدا ليكون ثروته هذه كلها وليجوب العالم ليصير اغني شخص ف العالم
كلما ازدادت ثروته ازداد بخله
لانتعجب الي ماصار عليه الان ولكنه يستحق كل ذلك المال

"Scrooge was never interested in what money could buy (obviously, since he never spends it!) and never lost sight of his 'Rosebud' -- that it's the memories and personal achievements behind his fortune that give it value in his life. And yet, the burden of protecting his fortune from the greedy hands of those who want it for all the wrong reasons will always prevent him from being as content as his nephew Donald, for whom a simple ice cream soda is complete happiness."

Olen Rosa-fani. Olen ollut siitä asti, kun poikasena luin ensimmäisen Rosani Aku Ankasta. D.U.C.K.it on etsitty kaikista tarinoista, ja viitteitä elokuviin ja muualle etsitty suurennuslasin kanssa, ja Keno on yksi harvoja julkisuuden henkilöitä, joita seuraan jopa Facebookissa.
Jostain ihmeen ja kumman syystä Roope Ankan elämä ja teot oli kuitenkin vielä lukematta. Toki tarinat yksittäin olin lukenut akkarista aikanaan, mutta tämä kokoomateos tuli nyt ensimmäistä kertaa lukuun. Ja mitä ihmettä!? Kaksi kahdestatoista tarinastakin oli lukematta, joten tämä oli todella mahtava lukukokemus taas.
Kasvoin akkarin parissa ja se oli yhtä kuin sarjakuvat minulle lapsena (paitsi Mustanaamio ja Karvinen ja joitakin muita sanomalehtistrippejä). Esimerkiksi kaikki supersankarilehdet on jäänyt kokonaan lukematta. Vasta aivan viime vuosina olen sivistänyt itseäni sarjakuvaromaaneilla ja jonkin verran muullakin sarjakuvalla. Mutta ei edelleenkään mikään voita Rosan ankkoja, oli sitten kuinka paljon tahansa nostalgia-arvoa mukana. Ei edes Barks.
