Uncle Scrooge McDuck His Life and Times

A lavish, oversized painted volume from Celestial Arts, this single 1987 issue collects Carl Barks's definitive origin story of Scrooge McDuck, tracing the miserly billionaire from his boyhood in Scotland through his adventures across the globe. Featuring Barks's own painted artwork alongside a framing sequence by Ken Scott, it stands as the first comprehensive, book-length treatment of the character's backstory. Essential for fans of Barks's legendary Disney duck work, it crystallizes the epic, rags-to-riches saga that would later inspire generations of storytellers.
