In honor of the 75th anniversary of the Scrooge McDuck character: a Money Bin-sized collection of the greatest Scrooge epics by his creator, Disney Legend Carl Barks!

He's tougher than the toughest and smarter than the smartest… he's Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Duckburg's most adventurous tycoon!

November 2022 marks 75 years since Disney Legend Carl Barks scribed Scrooge's debut. Now Fantagraphics celebrates with a king-size collectors' edition: more than 300 pages of Barks's finest McDuck tales!

From Scrooge's deep-down discovery of "The Secret of Atlantis'' to his weather war with Magica De Spell in "For Old Dime's Sake," from the Beagle Boys' "Giant Robot Robbers" to a "North of the Yukon" showdown with Soapy Slick—Scrooge, Donald Duck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie dive into one legendary quest after the next! As icing on the anniversary cake, these Barks epics are supported by covers, posters, and paintings from Don Rosa, Daan Jippes, and other beloved modern Disney comics talents.

About the Author

Carl Barks (1901-2000, b. Merrill, Oregon; d. Grants Pass, Oregon), one of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Barks’s most famous character creation, Uncle Scrooge. Over the course of his career, he wrote and drew more than 500 comics stories totaling more than 6,000 pages, most anonymously. He achieved international acclaim only after he semi-retired in 1968. Among many other honors, Barks was one of the three initial inductees into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame in 1987. (The other two were Jack Kirby and Will Eisner.) In 1991, Barks became the first Disney comic book artist to be recognized as a “Disney Legend,” a special award created by Disney “to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents, and dreams have created the Disney magic.” He has been similarly honored in many other countries around the world.
