☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of Fantagraphics' Disney Masters series collects classic Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic stories by acclaimed Italian cartoonist Luciano Bottaro, featuring the title tale 'Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket' along with other adventures. Bottaro's lively, expressive artwork brings the Disney ducks to life in these whimsical, globe-trotting escapades originally published in the 1960s and 1970s.
In "Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket Chapter 1," Scrooge, Gyro, and the boys find themselves on Jupiter, where they’re greeted by a curious alien race—the Jovians—while Donald, rescued from an asteroid, ends up under the watchful eye of the Jupiter Animal Ministry and locked in a Jovian zoo. When the boys free Donald, they return to the Money Rocket, only for Scrooge’s fortune to be unleashed in a chaotic decompression that shocks him: the Jovians don’t just admire metal—they eat it. Meanwhile, Rebo, long frustrated in his attempts to conquer the planet, watches from the shadows. Written by Luciano Bottaro, Carlo Chendi, and Joe Torcivia, and illustrated by Luciano Bottaro with colors by Christos Kentrotis, this vibrant adventure blends sci-fi wonder with classic Disney charm. The cover, by Marco Gervasio, captures the spectacle in bold, dynamic lines.
Scrooge McDuck’s latest scheme to keep his money safe takes a wild turn when he commissions a rocket from Gyro Gearloose to stash it on the Moon—only for Donald Duck to be roped into the mission as the "heavy lifting" crew. With Huey, Dewey, and Louie stowing away and the ship veering wildly off course, Scrooge makes a desperate move to save the day by jettisoning Donald onto an asteroid, leaving the trio to crash-land on Jupiter.
In "Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket Chapter 2," Scrooge, Gyro, and the boys find themselves on Jupiter, where they’re welcomed by a curious race of Jovians—only to discover that the planet’s inhabitants have a surprising taste for precious metals. Meanwhile, Donald, rescued from an asteroid by a Jovian fisherman, is mistakenly placed in a zoo under the watch of the Jupiter Animal Ministry, where the boys must free him before things get out of hand. As tensions rise and Scrooge’s fortune takes a dangerous turn, an old foe named Rebo watches from the shadows, frustrated by years of failed schemes.
In "Uncle Scrooge's Money Rocket Chapter 3," Rebo’s generals return not with the genius they were sent to capture, but with Donald Duck—unwittingly caught in a cosmic mix-up that could unravel Rebo’s grand plan. With the Money Rocket still soaring through the solar system and Rebo’s ambitions heating up, Donald’s presence throws everything into chaos.
In "The Return of Rebo Chapter 1," Donald Duck’s latest feud with Scrooge and Gladstone takes a wild turn when the long-lost alien warlord Rebo crashes back into Earth’s orbit, seeking vengeance for a past defeat. With Donald and Scrooge abruptly whisked aboard Rebo’s massive spaceship, the usual chaos of duck-driven rivalry gives way to a high-stakes intergalactic game of survival.
In "The Return of Rebo Chapter 2," Donald and Scrooge find themselves caught in a galactic game of wits when Rebo, the renegade duck warlord, turns an Earth toy catalog into a weaponized arsenal. With the Jovians’ help and a clever illusion-caster known as the Virtuoduck, the Ducks must outthink Rebo before his new fleet turns the solar system into his playground—before returning home to face a surprise twist that ties their interstellar adventure back to Gladstone’s antics.
In "TV Trickery," Scrooge McDuck catches Witch Hazel snooping through his 13th-floor window, eavesdropping on his TV—no charge, no permission. With a smirk and a deal on the table, he offers her a free set if she can land a spot on the air, setting off a game of wits and whimsy where neither the duck nor the witch plays by the rules.
