Scrooge McDuck—out of date? Never! In a wild new graphic novel, the cantankerous gold-rush tycoon vows to get as rich through cryptocurrency and influencer culture as he has through old-time mining and treasure hunting! How many ways can this go wrong?
Compared to the tech world’s giga-mega-billionaires—especially that up-and-coming blowhard bro, Carsten Duck—old-school tycoon Scrooge McDuck might seem hopelessly out-of-date. But he’s not going to stay that way!
In an all-new feature-length graphic novel by Julien “Jul” Berjeaut and Nicolas Keramidas, Scrooge’s quest to be Duckburg’s influencer king of crypto is on… and no (literal) duckface or tie-in stunt can be left behind, even when the Beagle Boys turn tech-bros too—and empty Scrooge’s Money Bin in a whirlwind cyberattack!
Can Gyro Gearloose help Scrooge save the McDuck millions? Or will Scrooge take a dive in virtual cash without a crash helmet?
Uncle Scrooge: Bitquack Backlash is part of the Disney Originals series.
Praise
"Between social-media follows and ‘duckface’ selfies, Scrooge McDuck discovers the internet subculture of folks investing in virtual currencies. It’s got him on the brink of madness! Artist Keramidas, having already revisited Mickey and Donald with Lewis Trondheim (Mickey’s Craziest Adventures and Donald’s Happiest Adventures), is already a master of the Disney universe. He playfully juxtaposes classic characters with our modern world—and from Donald’s nephews to the Beagle Boys, everybody wants to get something out of the changes! It’s a groundbreaking Scrooge volume that really shakes things up… adding new elements while staying true to tradition." — The Masked Otter
