You asked for them, and here they are... the pre-chapters, the post-chapters and the in-between chapters of Don Rosa's Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck! Included in this companion are the stories "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark," "The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff," "The Prisoner of White Agony Creek," "Hearts of the Yukon" and "Sharpie of the Culebra Cut." Finally rounding out the collection are two slightly unusual takes on Scrooge's life: "Of Ducks and Dimes and Destinies" and "Dream of a Lifetime" in which the Beagle Boys invade Scrooge's subconscious mind (!) and wreak havoc during dream-versions of the various "Life of Scrooge" chapters.

About the author

Keno Don Hugo Rosa, known as Don Rosa, is an American comic book writer and illustrator known for his Disney comics stories about Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, and other characters which Carl Barks created for Disney-licensed comic books, first published in America by Dell Comics. Many of his stories are built on characters and locations created by Barks; among these was his first Duck story, "The Son of the Sun" (1987), which was nominated for a Harvey Award in the "Best Story of the Year" category.
Rosa created about 90 stories between 1987 and 2006. In 1995, his 12-chapter work The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck won the Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story.

"Unelmoiden läpi elämän" on oikeastaan ainut hieman parempi (yksi Rosan parhaista imo) tarina tässä kirjassa. Rosan kirjoista turhimpia.

Not as good as "The Life and times of Scrooge McDuck" but still entertaining. Scrooge has run ins with Theodore Roosevelt (again), Wyatt Earp, Jack London, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid and others. It's a good supplement to Don Rosa's other Scrooge stories.

Not as good as the main series but there are a lot of great moments here, plus all the memories of reading this when I was a lot younger.

A must-have for those who enjoyed "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck."

Also, a nice standalone book of stories featuring Scrooge McDuck and company. Don Rosa's art and storytelling style remains masterful, perfect. Lots of humor, adventure, danger, and some revealing details (and expansion on Carl Bark's work). This includes Scrooge's first dime earned, his dealings in the Klondike and fight with some real life historical legends, his romantic relationship with Glittering Goldie, and a friendship with Teddy Roosevelt. Also, a fantastic story kind of added..very similar to the movie Inception, where Scrooge's nephew Donald fights the Beagle Boys in a game of wits within his past memories in a dream.

"well i'll be tougher than the toughies
and sharper the sharpies..."


Not as impressive as the original,
but equally enjoyable.

-----

"θα είμαι πιο σκληρός από τους σκληρούς
και πιο πονηρός από τους πονηρούς...»


Όχι τόσο εντυπωσιακό όσο το αρχικό,
αλλά εξίσου ψυχαγωγικό.

Rosa syventää Roope-saagaansa. Lisäseikkailut osuvat ajallisesti Roope Ankan elämä ja teot -opuksen eri tarinoiden väleihin täydentäen ja selventäen niitä. Elämä ja teot kannattaa siis olla luettuna ennen kuin tähän niteeseen tarttuu.

Edelleen Rosa jatkaa tekemistensä ja valintojensa taustoittamista ja taas D.U.C.K. merkintöjen metsästäjiä autetaan.

Rosan seikkailuissa vilahtelee paljon historiallisia hahmoja ja tarinat usein sijoitetaan historiallisiin tapahtumiin. Parasta teoksessa on ehdottomasti viimeinen luku, joka nitoo koko Roopen historian yhteen tarinaan ja paljastaa lukijoille, mikä Roopelle on oikeasti kaikkein tärkeintä.
