Дядюшка Скрудж и Дональд Дак. Три Кабальеро снова в деле

The Don Rosa Library #9

by Don Rosa

Дональду Даку вовсе не по душе оказаться в несущемся мексиканском поезде, сражаясь в неравной битве с грабителем по прозвищу Золотая Шляпа. Вот только когда на кону груда чистого серебра, а бесстрашные амигос Жозе Кариока и Панчито готовы прийти на подмогу, невозможное кажется возможным!
Роса прославился благодаря своему циклу комиксов "Жизнь и времена Скруджа Макдака", но за два десятка лет сочинил огромное множество первоклассных историй о жизни обитателей Даксбурга… и новая героическая повесть о Трёх Кабальеро - это только начало! Братья Гавс вступают в схватку с деньгохранилищем, когда их дедушка Чёрное Сердце находит чертежи главного здания Макдака, а в сюжете "Да Забудь!" Магика де Гипноз снова морочит голову Дональду и Скруджу! Историетас экселентес (на случай, если вы не кабальеро, это значит "прекрасные комиксы") вновь возвращаются к читателям на страницах этой книги. Помимо ярких цветов внутри вас ждёт огромное количество информации от самого Росы о процессе создания историй и нарисованных им дополнительных иллюстраций. Такое всеобъемлющее издание не стыдно будет передать потомкам… да и цена "сияет, словно песо"!

About the author

Keno Don Hugo Rosa, known as Don Rosa, is an American comic book writer and illustrator known for his Disney comics stories about Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, and other characters which Carl Barks created for Disney-licensed comic books, first published in America by Dell Comics. Many of his stories are built on characters and locations created by Barks; among these was his first Duck story, "The Son of the Sun" (1987), which was nominated for a Harvey Award in the "Best Story of the Year" category.
Rosa created about 90 stories between 1987 and 2006. In 1995, his 12-chapter work The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck won the Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story.

This volume is rock-solid. Rosa's story-telling and art is incredibly well-honed by this point in his career, but he still has the capability to let his imagination run wild while maintaining his respect for Bark's original creations. The Three Caballero's has some of the weakest moments with the song performance sections, but even with that it is a blazing fun story in which Donald gets to interact with characters who genuinely like him rather than the usual interactions with him being exploited or harassed. I also liked the first story in which a single coins becomes the point of view character to navigate the reader through a clever, farcical journey that cements the idea that Scrooge's money bin is the repository of all his money for which he has specific attachments. Another favorite was the Beagles Boys Vs. The Money Bin in which we get to see a blueprint of the money bin, and a story in which the bin itself thwarts all the endeavors of the Beagle Boys without a single bit of intervention by Scrooge. This is another showcase for the sheer creativity and imagination of Rosa.

I have never read any of these stories before, since they came out after I had stopped actively collectively comic books. I'm am glad to have the opportunity to read them in such beautifully produced books.

Classic Rosa— classic homage to Barks. I like the Three Caballeros. I didn’t anticipate enjoying a Donald story involving two horny stereotypes, but they are genuinely good friends to Donald and it’s nice to see Donald as part of a group of equals and not constantly out-thunked by Scrooge and the nephews. The adventure was good too. Trains are the second most swashbuckling vehicle, after boats.

Two of the best gags ever in here. The one where the Beagle Boys infiltrate the money bin and each gets trapped or distracted in some particular way. And the Magic DeSpell!!!! Laughed out loud repeatedly. She has a new wand that, if a person hears their name, they forget the next word that’s said. So doors, stairs, steering wheels, brakes, standing up, walking, talking, goals. Gags and laffs. It’s brilliant. This was a good one.

I really enjoyed reading this collection! It was entirely stories I had missed when they were first published, and a lot of them were really fun! I still don't like how Scrooge is treated almost like a superhuman in the Life and Times stories, but it was interesting to get a peek at the Panama Canal and the history thereof (especially with the current news), and the Beagle Boys story was fun, the Magica story was amusing (but not as good as the gravity one), and I was pleasantly surprised by the Three Caballeros tale--that might have been my favorite, in some ways. Overall not my favorites of Rosa's, but still pretty amusing and I just wish there was more and more available!

I'm a big fan of The Three Caballeros so I loved seeing Donald, José Carioca, and Panchito back together again. This book is worth it for that story alone, but as is always the case with Don Rosa stories, they're all enjoyable.

Maybe it's me, but this seems anticlimatic after the "Life of Scrooge" volumes. Most of the stories are great, particularly the Caballeros story. I couldn't get into the "Crusader Kings" story but I'm gonna try again tomorrow.

This is really a four and a half stars. I have always loved the old Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics, and my soon has been giving me volumes of the Don Rosa Library for gifts over the last few years. All are excellent, ranging from 4 and a half to 5 stars. Totally enjoyable.

Always fun to read these Don Rosa stories and to find out some of the backstory.

Don Rosa literally cannot miss

A bit of nostalgic fun, but difficult to find a scene that isn't glorifying violence or greed or objectification.
