In Vol. 1 of the internationally acclaimed comics collection The Complete Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Don Rosa tells the tale of how Uncle Scrooge earned his fortune. In Volume 2, he still has more secrets to tell from Scrooge’s legendary life ― including a rollicking Yukon adventure involving Glittering Goldie (that might just break your heart!). Fantagraphics proudly presents, in a handsome hardcover, the fan-favorite Scrooge McDuck life story as it’s never been told before ― in chronological order ― with “in-between” untold tales. Full-color illustrations throughout. Review: Excellent Stories and Artwork - Though I like Donald Duck, I was never a big fan of Scrooge McDuck (other than in Disney's Christmas Carol). After reading reading these stories, I may have to watch some Duck Tales episodes. I was alerted to this collection when I watched an episode of Near Mint Condition (a youtube channel devoted to collected editions and graphic novels). They had high praise for this set so I thought I would give it a try. The set is two hardcover books in a slipcase. The first book collects issues 1-12 of the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. Each issue/story takes place in a different time period of Scrooge's life (starting when he was a kid shining shoes all the way thru when he got rich and how he handled it. The stories in-between show how he learned life lessons and how he was able to get his wealth. The second book are stories that take place in between the various 12 issues - filling in some gaps of time. According to the author (in the first book introduction), he did not want the original 12 stories broken up and is why he did not mix these newer stories in with the original 12 and instead went for a separate book. The stories are basically an origin story of Scrooge McDuck. How he acquires his wealth how he meets various characters that end up being his nemeses in more current stories (Beagle Boys being an example). The beginning of the books contain a warning message similar to Leonard Malton introductions in the various Treasury DVDs warning about stereo-types, but other than the paragraph it isn't mentioned. Overall, fantastic collection that can be enjoyed by anyone. If you're concerned it is Scrooge McDuck, ignore what you know and enjoy the books. The stories are all interesting. Include some action, but the expected humor of Disney characters. The artwork is excellent. The style matched many Disney animated shorts from the 40s and 50s, but there also feels like there is a little Jeff Smith's Bone in there for both art and story. Some pages you do need to look close at to not miss a little humor thrown in. Though half the ducks appearing in the stories look a lot like Donald, you can tell them apart.

Buy it before its out of print ? *by T***3 on July 12, 2023* Bought in July 2023 for $45 new from amazon.com. Printed in China, July 2022. Love the stories, the drawings (pretty close to Barks), the humor, the print quality of the product and the price. Actually when i bought it, it was $65, then two days later Amazon reduced the price, i called up Amazon and they reduced the price so i did not have to send it back and buy it again at the current, lower price. Nice! I scored more Scrooge points. Will not repeat details i already read in other reviews here. Admittedly this was a bit of a panic buy when i had to read on wikipedia and the authors own facebook page that Disney did ban at least one of the stories in February 2023, so reprints would likely not be complete anymore - unless Disney would change its policy again. A lot of the panels are very nicely detailed, so they are certainly worth to be viewed in as large print as possible. You can get a larger size deluxe edition (www.amazon.com/dp/1683964659). I feared it would be unwieldy/heavy for my reading though, and you wouldn't be a good Scrooge move buying the expensive version! Did i say i love the humor ? Oh wait. It's Amazon Prime day. I need to go bargain hunting.
