The only problem with these collections is that they don't come out fast enough! I can't wait for volume 5. Keep up the great work, Fantagraphics!

This volume is mostly the first half of 12-part epic "The life and times of Scrooge McDuck", but it starts of with "Of Ducks and Dimes and Destinies" which was made before the epic but published after. And I think it's better to read it after, as it disrupts the chronology before it even begins. But once Chapter 1 starts, it's a a great ride throughout. These are stories I grew up with, and my Norwegian book collecting them is my dearest one. Still, reading them in English (and seeing them colored the way Rosa intended) is obviously a preferred way of reading them today.

This is my third time to read this run of stories and it is still just as great. I love Rosa's busy artwork, with all the little sight gags in the backgrounds, and his faithful adaptation of Barks' stories into a long running cohesive biography of Scrooge McDuck is heartwarming. I'm glad that Fantagraphics is handling this series in addition to the Barks collections because they do it right, with beautifully designed books and high quality printing.

Un altro spettacolare capitolo dell'opera omnia di Don Rosa, questa volta interamente dedicato a The Life and Times of Scrooge McQuack.
Tra le innumerevoli chicche, il fatto che il giovane Rockerduck fosse noto al Done come principale antagonista di Paperone al posto di Cuordipietra, ma sia stato inserito ugualmente nella $aga.

Maybe 3.5 stars? I bumped it to 4 because this site doesn't let me give those pesky half stars, and I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting. Now I'm really not sure what to do with my copy of Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: Treasure Under Glass, although I suppose I don't have to keep both just because they came in a boxed set.
I wish I'd bought #4 and #5 instead, because this volume starts off Rosa's 12-stories series about Scrooge McDuck's life. It cuts off at Part Seven, and while not everything in here is of equal caliber (or up to Barks's standards), I'm definitely interested in reading the rest.
I think a couple major elements contributed to making these stories of Rosa's far more enjoyable than his previous efforts. One is the sharp focus on following a specific timeline and sticking to Barks's canonical material as much as possible. When he's writing about established events in Scrooge's life, he hasn't have a huge amount of space to ramble off on nonsensical and overly detailed adventures of his own.
The other factor is Byron Erickson, an editor who reined Rosa in whenever he tried to veer too far off track. Each time I finished reading a comic and thought, "Hm, that one was much better than usual!" I'd flip to the back pages and read Rosa's notes about Byron telling him to cut out a number of side plots and McDuck ancestors and silly gags. Good editors are incredibly important, especially for someone like Rosa who doesn't seem to have much capacity to self-edit. He even rambles in his notes. At one point, he tells a detailed story about tracking down a videotape that ended up having no impact on and no relevance for the Scrooge comic in question.
He needed an editor for those parts of this book, too.
Rosa does remain fairly humble, generally admitting that Byron was right, although his determination to include more McDuck ancestors wasn't possible to curtail at every turn. A dozen or so of them get crammed into the middle of "The New Laird of Castle McDuck," and the story suffers as a result.
Rosa's main points of pride are his deep knowledge of Barks's duck stories and his intense attention to detail in research. These are great qualities, but the thing about good writing is that you do your research in order to inform your storytelling...but you leave most of it out of the actual text. Readers can tell when a writer's done the proper amount of background work. Rosa likes to shove in every last detail to make sure we know that he knows what he's talking about.
There's also some completely unnecessary racism, particularly in the Native American depictions - some of that's hard to avoid in Barks's original stories, but those were written in a different time, when that was unfortunately pretty commonplace. Rosa was publishing these in the '90s. There's no excuse for that anymore.
I did enjoy this volume overall, though; I think Rosa did a good job of hitting a lot of nostalgic areas, especially in Scrooge's Wild West adventures. At points, it really did feel like reading Barks stories, which is a high compliment. Rosa put a lot of effort into toning down his overly cluttered backgrounds, paying more attention to the characters at the forefront. I particularly enjoyed Scrooge's grumpily judgmental horse, Hortense.

A rather long story and uncomfortable experience is connected with this collection of Uncle Scrooge comics that spans a total of 25 years and comes to an end at a comic bookstore with a side of sexism.
I first read this story as a child in German and I was so impressed by the story that I wanted to keep the weekly editions of my comic books that contained this part of Uncle Scrooges story. Unfortunately, over-enthusiastic grand/parents that like to clean up their grand/child’s room (to be fair, I used to be a bit of a slob) and a few moves including one halfway around the world guaranteed the loss of these comics. Fast forward to this past May when I happen to browse through a comic bookstore and came across what looked like the original collection stored in a plastic bag and taped up. I returned the next day and ask an associate if it was possible to take a closer look at these comic books i.e. take them carefully out of the plastic bag, because at $75 I would like to make sure these are in fact the ones I have been looking for before buying them. The associate, a young and very helpful woman, was rudely interrupted by another associate (he turned out to be the manager) and decided to give me a lecture on the differences in Don Rosa comics versus Carl Barks (I grew up with them, I know what I’m talking about and that certainly wasn’t my question). I repeated the request to take a look at the comics more closely a few times and explained what specifically I was looking for, because all I had to go on was one frame I remember vividly and a German title. He interrupted me again and ushered me towards the shelf of the Uncle Scrooge comics, again pointing out how one artist uses more detail than the other, sweeping his hand across the shelf and said: “It all depends on which one you like best,” and then left.
I was fuming. I wasn’t there to pick out a handbag to go with my new sparkling rhinestone shoes. I was there to make an investment in a lifelong hobby of mine. I found a remastered version of the same collection at half the price. I bought it and left, finally understanding why comic bookstores usually have a greater male clientele than female one, because of jerks like this manager.
I did a bit more research and found most of the Don Rosa collection on Amazon, the rest I can get from my local library.
Having said all of that, let me finally make a comment or two on the comics themselves: I adored these stories. The detailing in story and art made this a wonderful reading experience.
Overall, these comics bring back the cozy feeling of getting lost in the world of Duckburg and I really have to work hard to pace myself reading the rest of Don Rosa’s library to extend this wonderful feeling.

Unlike a lot of fans who love the Life and Times series, for me it’s always been a bit of a mixed bag. I still love the art and the gags and some of the individual stories are great. But sometimes they get so wordy and full of references that it feels overwrought and drags for me. Sometimes too Scrooge comes off as too mighty, especially in a ludicrous sequence in which he takes on the entire wild animal population of Africa single handedly and wins, with stupid feats including catapulting a rhinoceros into a tree by the power of the weight of his body (really?) and scaring a lion by roaring at him. It’s sooooooo dumb and makes Scrooge seem like a super hero.
Still I had a very nice time rereading many of these stories! It felt good, which I need right now

Как и сотни тысяч детей, я пришел к «дядюшке Скруджу» через мультфильмы, которые нам показывали по Центральному Телевиденью в выходные дни. Потом уже появились различные комиксы (справедливости ради, замечу, что комиксы про Микки-Мауса и Дональда появились гораздо раньше). Но вот как-то так получилось, что этот цикл не был моим любимым. Слишком уж он казался каким-то детским и излишне слащавым. Да и троица его племянников, которые по сути были одним героем, мне не нравилась. То ли дело, «Чип и Дейл» или «Мишки Гамми». Впрочем, сейчас не об этом.
Не так давно, на экраны вышел «ремастер» этого сериала и вот он уже оказался просто взрывным по своему составу. Пересмотрены герои, расширена Вселенная, куча отсылок и интересных поворотов сюжета. Чудо, а не сериал… Но эта рецензия и не об этом. Я упомянул новый сериал, как такую ступеньку для меня к творению Дона Росы. Просто мне стало интересно узнать побольше об этом селезне и в качестве стартовой книги посоветовали именно эту историю. Как такую каноническую версию биографии Скруджа. И мне, вы знаете, действительно зашло. Чем именно? А вот сейчас об этом и поговорим.
Во-первых, Дон Роса, как он сам говорит в этой книге, решил придумать биографию этого селезня с нуля. Он тщательно изучил все предыдущие комиксы, по различным упоминаниям, мелким деталям и оговоркам героев он создал собственный таймлайн, в котором и живет Скрудж. Например, то, как он получил свою первую монетку. Вот вы возможно знали, что он получил её за чистку обуви. А никогда не задумывались, откуда взялась американская монета в Глазго? А Дон Роса задумался, и придумал на этой основе шикарную историю, которая умудрилась даже пересечься с настоящим самым неожиданным образом. А почему такой «родовитый» селезень, из шотландского клана вынужден был чистить обувь? Вот вам еще одна история о том, что же случилось с фамильным гнездом.
Дальше больше — Скрудж начинает зарабатывать свой капитал, путешествуя по свету и попадая в различные приключения. И не всегда он будет выходить из них победителем, но зато из каждого он вынесет свой собственный урок. Ну а читателей, познакомят с интересными деталями нашего с вами мира. Дон Роса, и это вторая причина, по которой мне понравилась э��а книга, тщательно изучил не только мир МакДака, но и наш с вами мир. Он провел исследования, внес в свои истории, интересные факты про Америку, Глазго, Африку и другие страны. И эти мелкие детали действительно оживляют этот мир, будь то байки капитанов пароходов, или верования аборигенов Австралии.
Ну и наконец то, что читается эта книга очень легко. Да, может быть сюжеты здесь и не самые сложные, но увлечь они вполне способны. И заскучать не дадут. Хочется дойти до конца, чтобы узнать, чем же закончится очередное приключение «самого богатого селезня в мире», который еще им пока не стал. Я же уже говорил, что дела не всегда у Скруджа будут успешны, и поворот может быть вполне себе необычным.
Так что, мне теперь осталось найти вторую книгу, и я думаю, что даже приобрести себе бумажную копию, как раз в пару к первой части уже лежащей у меня. Как по мне, эта книге того действительно стоит.

I was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I bought it for my dad as a birthday present, since he loved Disney comics as a kid (but especially the Scrooge McDuck ones), but I decided to pick it up after he'd finished it since I've been a fan of Ducktales since I was a wee lad myself. But it was so enjoyable to learn about the history of Scrooge McDuck. I loved that the McDuck line is canonically the same as McDuff from the real life events of MacBeth; and I loved the intermingling of other fictional characters (like the Baskervilles aka Whiskervilles) and historical figures (like Teddy Roosevelt & Howard Rockefeller) that Scrooge met along the way. It was also fun to see the origin stories to some of the most notorious villains from Ducktales (like the Beagle Boys and Glumgold). But I was also surprised at how great the art was, as well as the subtle background gags in many panels that served no purpose except humor if you could spot them. Learning that Don Rosa is from Louisville was cool, too, because it added local color to Scrooge's adventure to Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky (a real place, believe it or not). I had issues with some mild racism that can't be excused as a product of the times (it may take place in the late 19th century, but it was written just a couple decades ago, folks!), but overall it was a fun way of experiencing an alternate version of some of the world's coolest recent history. I honestly want to read the next volume, which I wasn't expecting.

I'm so glad that this is back in print. One of my favorite childhood stories, and part one of my favorite comic ever, This edition includes the first half of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. The book itself is without question a work of exquisite beauty, it's beautiful to hold in your hands.
The story is known, and if u don't know it and one day watched/read a scrooge story, you owe it to yourself to read this.
Each panel in Don Rosa's comics has a plethora of details; tiny little stories that play out along our main story, and little hidden easter eggs along the way. The commentary at the end fascinatingly shows the extent of Rosa's love for Barks's original material, and the amount of research that goes into making one of these stories. It gave a lot of insight as to the history of how The Life and Times came to be, and the insane details he put into them.
Great art, great stories. Indispensable. Highly recommended.

This volume launches Rosa's famous series on the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck - a sequence of stories that I missed when it originally came out, in part because it was published in Europe and in part because I was in self-imposed exile from duck comics for a few years there. Anyway, for a Barks fan like me, Rosa's interpretation and elaboration of Scrooge's life from hints in the original stories is pure pleasure for me. As a Barks superfan, Rosa sure has his facts straight, but as an imaginative creator in his own right, he's able to craft compelling tales that are more than just fan service. I'm excited to read the conclusion in the next volume!

In this volume of the beautiful edition of Don Rosa's work is the first half (more or less) of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", unquestionably Rosa's masterpiece, and one of the best comic book sagas I ever read. Not just in the Disney universe, ever. // In questo volume della bellissima edizione dell'opera omnia di Don Rosa c'è la prima metà (più o meno) della Saga di Paperon de' Paperoni, una delle migliori serie a fumetti che abbia mai letto. Non solo nell'universo Disney, in generale.

I read those stories as a kid and recently acquired this book in a sale.
I did not imagine how much I would enjoy the stories, the art style and the book itself.
The book has rather big dimension, a really good looking print and is therefore a pleasure to read.
The stories themselves are with a lot of love for details and bring back very fond memory.
I also enjoy their writing and historic facts.
Additionally, I really liked the comments of the author for each story. They gave really cool insights to the stories.

First half of Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is in this volume so it’s stellar.
It’s very impressive how this story both presages Carl Barks stories (while referencing many others) but while living the core conflict of those future stories in tact still builds in a satisfying “win” for Scrooge.

Perushyvää Don Rosaa. Tässä vaiheessa julkaisun ongelmat alkavat näkyä jo vahvemmin: kirjassa on peräkkäin hyvin samanlaisia tarinoita. Myös käännös ei ole niin hyvä kuin aiemmin. Myöskään esimerkiksi tarinoiden nimiä tai taustalla näkyviä tauluja ym. ei ole vaivauduttu kääntämään suomeksi.

Tämä oli oikeastaan sama kuin vähän aiemmin suomeksi lukemani Roope Ankan elämä ja teot kirja (tai sen alku), mutta sisälsi myös lisää taustatarinaa ja jonkin verran alkuperäisiä kuvakäsikirjoituksia.

As usually fantastic piece of art. How could it be different knowing this volume contains chapters #0 - #7 of "Life and times of Scrooge McDuck"? Also very interesting Rosa's notes about stories, some unpublished drafts and descriptions of some covers. Asbolutely must read!
