Fantagraphics to publish Don Rosa collection of Duck stories

[Transplant]

File this in the "I'll believe it when I see it." category. I seem to remember putting a similarly hopeful collection in my Amazon wishlist a couple of years ago. But, Fantagraphics has confirmed and Amazon is taking preorders on a hardcover collection of Don Rosa Duck stories, a la the Barks and Gottfredson collections.

I truly hope that, since he trademarked his name, that Don is getting some royalties out of the deal. He deserves it as one of the 2 greatest Duck artists ever.

Yes. I am looking forward to this.

Barks or Rosa ?

Now that`s a debate for the ages.

Barks or Rosa ?

Now that`s a debate for the ages.

 

It's a debate for the seconds. Rosa does not reach the level he has without Barks before him.

[Transplant]

They are both fantastic artists and writers, but even Rosa would acknowledge Barks as the penultimate Duck artist.

Shut up.

You don't have to shut up, greggy. It's nice to see you actually post, instead of your co-worker when you are asleep.

He moved to a different floor so I'm safe for now.

Coolness. I look forward to the hardcovers.

That guy is the greatest! I love him and want to bear his children.

Wonder if this will help or hurt the prices on the original rosa books.

[Transplant]

I think they're already reprinted in different places, just not together in one place.

[Ryan.]

Pretty jazzed about this. Preordered it a few weeks back and have my fingers crossed it becomes reality. The amount of detail Rosa puts into his art makes my heart palpitate to the rhythm of the Ducktales theme song.

[Prince Namor]

If you want it, pre-order it.

I think Fantagraphics waits until it has a certain amount of pre-orders before they go to print.

 

Also coming up from them is a Wally Wood Witzend box set collection (not yet solicited).

Is this content already in Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck?

[Transplant]

Life and Times is only a portion of the Rosa stories.

I think there are some stories not reprinted ? I could be wrong but that's what I thought.

[Transplant]

I'd have to check INDUCKS to know for sure.
