This special issue is devoted to new stories by celebrated Duck writer Geoffrey Blum, and features the art talents of Daan Jippes, Daniel Branca, Massimo Fecchi, and Carlos Mota When rats invade Scrooge's money bin, the crisis creates a Powerplay on Killmotor Hill, especially when lucky Cousin Gladstone gets involved! Next, in Scent of a Sorceress, Magica De Spell attacks Scrooge with moly, a mystical hypnotic herb. Wag the Dog pits Huey, Dewey, and Louie's favorite dog park against the threat of Scrooge's savings-and-loan mall. And finally Race for the Golden Apples, based on a long-lost Carl Barks story idea, ensnares Donald, Daisy, and Magica into a most unusual contest of strength!
Carl Barks's greatest creation: The miserly, excessively wealthy Scrooge McDuck, whose giant money bin, lucky dime, and constant wrangles with his nemeses the Beagle Boys are well-known to and beloved by young and old. This volume starts off with "Only a Poor Old Man," the defining Scrooge yarn (in fact his first big starring story) in which Scrooge's plan to hide his money in a lake goes terribly wrong. Two other long-form classics in this volume include "Tralla La La" (also known as "The Bottlecap Story," in which Scrooge's intrusion has terrible consequences for a money-less Eden) and "Back to the Klondike" (Barks disciple Don Rosa's favorite story, a crucial addition to Scrooge's early history, and famous for a censored bar brawl that was restored in later editions). Also in this volume are the full-length "The Secret of Atlantis," and over two dozen more shorter stories and one-page gags.
An unprecedented comics collection of Scrooge McDuck's life story, this epic Duckburg serial is back for keeps in a beyond-complete oversized full color deluxe edition--and comes slipcased with a special commemorative coin, available nowhere else!
