Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: "The Son of the Sun": The Don Rosa Library Vol. 1

On sale date: October 4, 2014

Don Rosa continues Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and the nephews' adventures in comic form.

"Great howling crashwagons!" The Richest Duck in the World is back—and so are noisy nephew Donald, wunderkinder Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and rascally richnik Flintheart Glomgold! Because you asked for it, we're proud to present our first complete, chronological book of Duck adventures by modern fan favorite Don Rosa—following in the footsteps of Disney legend Carl Barks with an exciting, lovingly detailed style all his own!

Rosa, among the world's most beloved modern cartoonists, launched his Barksian career in 1987. Famed for his prizewinning "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" (Will Eisner Comic Industry Award, 1995: Best Serialized Story), Rosa wrote and drew a whopping two decades' worth of ripping Scrooge and Donald yarns!
Rosa's Duck canon has also won him an additional Eisner Award (1997: Best Artist/Writer, Humor); the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing (2013); and the Frankfurt Book Fair's International Grand Prize (2005), among other major international honors.

Standout stories in our first Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck book include "The Son of the Sun," Scrooge's and Flintheart's epic battle for Inca gold; "Crocodile Collector," Donald's pursuit of a roguish rare reptile; and "Last Sled to Dawson," Rosa's sequel to Barks' classic "Back to the Klondike"—featuring the return of Scrooge's old flame, Glittering Goldie O'Gilt! Uhoh... "Cash Flow" brings back the Beagle Boys, too!

Presented with sparkling color and a rich archive of Rosa's cover art and behind-the-scenes factoids, these Duckburg epics are getting a definitive, comprehensive North American edition for the very first time—at a bargain price worthy of Scrooge himself!

Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: "The Son of the Sun": The Don Rosa Library Vol. 1 is part of the The Complete Don Rosa Library series.

Praise

"...[I]t looks great, and the new volumes of the Rosa library should prove perfect companion volumes for those in the Barks library, particularly for readers who find their appetites for these types of duck tales whetted by the Barks books. …Rosa's Duck comics? They're great ones." — J. Caleb Mozzocco - School Library Journal

"The work itself remains essential: More than 'just' a Barks homage, Rosa carried the Good Duck Artist's legacy into legitimately new territory, exposing and massaging the pathos and wicked humor at the core of every good nostalgic exercise." — Tim O'Neil - The A.V. Club

"In this first volume, it collects for the first time ever Rosa's first Uncle Scrooge comics in chronological order, and man are they pretty." — Cameron Hatheway - Bleeding Cool

"…Rosa is so sincere in his desire to revive Barks's style of adventure and humor it shows in every panel, every detail of his work. He's taking this seriously, folks, and its all there. … Good stuff, sez I." — Jerry Beck - Cartoon Research

"This series promises to be one of the best ever collections of a single creator's work, a self-aware treatise and the ultimate in historical detail. …  It's a joy to know that a series like this exists and that I'll be able to own it all in the coming years." — Augie de Blieck Jr. - Comic Book Resources
