I love Uncle Scrooge, funnest and most interesting Disney character in my opinion! My favorite comic book read ever is the Life and Times of Scrooge Mcduck that ran from issues 285 thru 296, the storyline explains from how he earned his number #1 dime and to find what true riches really are, perfectly told and drawn by the great Dona Rosa. These books took me forever to find also, I remember reading a comic shop news letter stating how hot these books were, never found a full set at any cons or shops, tracking down the single issues took me close to 20 years, 1996 to 2015 but so worth it Edited August 10, 2017 by Spikenector ExNihilo and Hey Kids, Comics! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider Uncle Scrooge more interesting than most super hero books and a joy to actually read. Rosa's Life and Times is wonderful. Now if we could only cross Venom into Scrooge's books as a kick arse villian ....... Senormac and Spikenector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tease, my friends would never take my stuff. They'd be more interested in my wine and booze than my books. 4 hours ago, Spikenector said: All my friends have walked thru the comic room and think it's some kind of museum haha, always asking if they can be in my will That reminds me...can I be in your will?

Now if we could only cross Venom into Scrooge's books as a kick arse villian ....... He's the focus of my collection. I am about 60 books away from having every American appearance, and most are cheaper as I have multiple first appearances and #1s. I see Mr Rosa every year at Heroes, get a FREE sketch, and chat a while. As far as the LAT set, I must be lucky as I probably have 3 sets, one with every issue signed by him, plus all the various trades/artists editions signed/sketched as well.

tv horror Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I wonder if you've ever heard of a story by Robert Bloch titled "the man who collected Poe" now if only you could get Don Rosa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
