This is how ALL vintage Comic Collections should be packaged.... In 2003 I attended my first comic con where I met Don Rosa. I didn't know much about him and I'm sure he found my questions annoying but I had never met a DISNEY comic book artist before. I've since been to several shows where Mr. Rosa is a staple but I never got to read any of his work until I picked up his 2 LIFE & TIMES OF SCROOGE McDUCK collections. While I'd grown up with DUCKTALES I had never read many of the original Carl Barks stories so I was unable to appreciate them until FANTAGRAPHICS began to reprint the Carl Barks DISNEY Duck works. I knew from the behind the scenes sections that Mr. Rosa approached a story's details the same way I do and being able to read the Barks stuff made me appreciate Rosa's work all the more. I've since read A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL and his Gladstone origin stories. Now, we get to see a companion FANTAGRAPHICS collection of Rosa's Duck work. In this volume there are several great ones and having the Barks work so fresh in my mind I'd dare say they're on equal footing but Rosa adds even more depth to his stories than Barks ever did making these have their own unique flavor but while still being true to the original characters as envisioned by Barks. In this collection is also the first comic book I ever owned, LAST SLED TO DAWSON and it's wonderful to not only read this again but to learn it was a Don Rosa adventure. I can't wait to read the remaining 9 volumes in this series and I hope DISNEY will finally give this great man the recognition (and compensation) he so richly deserves. I can't recommend this book more and it's among the finest collections like this I've ever seen. I wish the Carl Barks series would offer a cover gallery like this where all the art is seen in its entirety instead of cropping them to fit. The behind the scenes stories are fascinating and the material on Rosa's life is also a great read but the real stars here are the ducks. Three cheers for Don Rosa!! Go to Amazon

Keno Rosa is a cartoonist and story teller of the finest caliber. Whether extending an original Barks duck adventure ... Second only to Carl Barks, Keno Rosa is a cartoonist and story teller of the finest caliber. Whether extending an original Barks duck adventure or developing his own original stories; Mr. Rosa can appeal to anyone from 3 to 93 and maybe beyond. Several artists such as Marco, Jeeps, and Van Horne can mimic the Barks style of cartooning the Disney Ducks; however, only Rosa has come so close to catching the Barks ability to tell a very satisfying and often educational tale. Don's drawing of the ducks is not a mimic of Carl Barks, it is a bit heavier handed, yet has a fine quality all of its own. And Rosa's work reeks of quality in both artwork and story telling. If you love the works of Carl Barks, you will also love the works of Don Keno Rosa. Very Highly Recommended. Go to Amazon

Great start to series by Don Rosa Great stories; well illustrated; notes from Don Rosa are really interesting. I did not realize that Rosa had built on what Barks had done, but was really impressed. Production of book is really good. Go to Amazon

If you only buy one Scrooge McDuck hardcover compilation, make this it A masterpiece of sequential art and storytelling. Drawing on the Carl Barks classics, Rosa adds new chapters to the Duck canon--capturing the spirit and wild creativity of Barks, while forging off in his own direction at the same time. A must-have for fans of The Last of Clan McDuck. Go to Amazon
