To be fair Don Rosa is truly peak Donald Duck.

Hell yeah, Donald Duck is awesome. Will annoy a northern american with this next time I meet one.

Donald Duck?

That antifa terrorist?

Based Europeans. I found a stack of Rosa's and Barks' various Scrooge McDuck comics in the back of my grandfather's shed when I was young.

Yeah, holy fuck. Has Disney ever been blessed with writing like that again? The one-off stuff was great. I remember a comic where Gizmo invents a device that can stop time, which the Beagle Boys used to rob Scrooge. That was such an interesting sci-fi concept, explored in a Disney comic! I remember another one where Scrooge found Xanadu! Super memorable.

But man, none of that stacked up to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. I mean, I only had one issue of it - the one where he goes to Alaska for gold. Even still, the emotion in that part of the story is seared into my brain. The fact that they could tell stories of that depth with the "he's greedy, get the joke?" character is fucking amazing.

Mind you, I haven't reread any of this in years. It's etched into my memory. Rosa and Barks are some of the best to ever work in the American comics scene. I don't think I found anything as compelling until I discovered Tintin.

I believe Donald Duck is pretty popular in Southern Europe too, especially Italy. I learned to read Italian from a hoard of old Paperinos / Topolinos a neighbor had.

I don't understand why don't Americans like carl barks and don rosa?

Dolan pls

there is a music album inspired by "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" by Nightwish's Tuomas Holopainen

I mean the guy who made Astro Boy based all of his character designs off the Donald Duck comics, and manga is the most popular form of comics in North America, so in conclusion, everydays a hurricane, here in america.

The scrooge mcduck comics and the album Nightwish Composer/keyboardist Tuomas H. wrote are amazing. Way better than youd think.
