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 twodecades' 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!

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

...[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 ...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 On the short list of comic book creators responsible for genuine masterpieces of the medium, Don Rosa's name is pretty darn close to the top. ... In his time on the Ducks, Rosa was responsible for over 80 stories that include some of the best comics of all time...--Chris Sims 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 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. I love [Don Rosa's] body of work. I've bought it multiple times. I'll be happily buying it again when Fantagraphics reprints it this fall. Love, love, love.--Augie de Blieck Jr. Rosa's comics may be the best comics ever done in the voice of another creator. They're very funny, satisfying yarns, and this presentation -- particularly the color -- is super-handsome. This would have been my favorite book ever at eight years old, and I'm fond of it now.--Tom Spurgeon
