the first major comics work by Don Rosa (other than newspaper strips). I'm impressed by the fact that on his first job for Gladstone he was able to write and draw the whole story and the cover; no try-out run for him! I bought this one already slabbed as a 9.8 from mycomicshop, then got it signed at Baltimore ComiCon 2013.

Part One of Don Rosa's opus "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck," which is a truly impressive saga that attempted to gather all the previously disparate stories done by The Good Duck Artist, Carl Barks, and tell a cohesive narrative. They had never originally intended these stories to be in-continuity per se, so there were always inconsistencies. Was Scrooge in the Alaska Gold Rush or the Spanish American War in 1898? Both? Don Rosa threaded together the references to Scrooge's family and history to take him from the little shoe-shine boy who earned Number One Dime to the grizzled miser he was in his first appearance in Christmas on Bear Mountain. No mere "funny animal" book, this is solid storytelling. I bought this one new off-the-rack at Comic Interlude in Clarksville, TN and managed to keep it up in NM for 19 years before getting it signed at Baltimore ComiCon in 2013.
