The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion (Walt Disney's the Life and Times of Scrooge Mcduck)

An absolute must have for anyone who read the first one... The stories are awesome and are definitely worth the money for any scrooge Mcduck fan!

In this final volume of Boom! Studios deluxe hardback series of Don Rosa's expansion of the Scrooge McDuck universe we are treated to a number of "B" stories (inbetweeners) across many stages in Scrooge's life, framed by bookends in his money bin in which he tells tales of adventures to his nephews (and a disbelieving Donald).As before, there is more drama in story of Scrooge McDuck than in a year's worth of superhero brooding. These are complex characters and layered, believable stories of determination, regret, and redemption. There are still a number of laugh-out-loud moments too, but they don't detract from the overall weight of the drama. As a bonus we also get a clever Total Recall-ish story at the end, proving that Rosa can be innovative and funny even when working with apparent "filler" material.Along with the first two volumes, this is simply a must-have.

This is a must have for a true Don Rosa. This contains the stories that didn't make it into "The Life and Times of Scrooge Mcduck." Not that they weren't good enough, these were simply drawn later. This book contains some excellent stories such as "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark", "Of Ducks, Dimes and Destinies", "The Dream of a Lifetime" and others, these are simply my favourites. Hopefully Don Rosa will make more stories about Scrooge's younger life.
