Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: "Only a Poor Old Man"

<p>Uncle Scrooge classics for all ages!</p><p>Since Fantagraphics' first release in this series focused on Donald Duck, it is only right that the second focus on Carl Barks's other great protagonist, and his greatest creation: The miserly, excessively wealthy Scrooge McDuck, whose giant money bin, lucky dime, and constant wrangles with his nemeses the Beagle Boys are well-known to, and beloved by, young and old.</p><p>This volume starts off with &quot;Only a Poor Old Man,&quot; the defining Scrooge yarn (in fact his first big starring story) in which Scrooge's plan to hide his money in a lake goes terribly wrong. Two other long-form classics in this volume include &quot;Tralla La La&quot; (also known as &quot;the bottlecap story,&quot; in which Scrooge's intrusion has terrible consequences for a money-less eden) and &quot;Back to the Klondike&quot; (Barks disciple Don Rosa's favorite story, a crucial addition to Scrooge's early history, and famous for a censored bar brawl that was restored in later editions) . Each of these three stories is famous enough to have its own lengthy Wikipedia page.</p><p>Also in this volume are the full-length &quot;The Secret of Atlantis,&quot; and over two dozen more shorter stories and one-page gags.</p><p>Newly recolored in a version that combines the warm, friendly, slightly muted feeling of the beloved classic original comic books with state-of-the-art crispness and reproduction quality, the stories are joined by another volume's worth of extensive &quot;Liner Notes,&quot; featuring fascinating behind-the-panels essays about the creation of the stories and analyses of their content from a world's worth of Disney and Barks experts.</p> Full color throughout
