The Prisoner Of White Agony Creek!
with excitement this week about two of Gemstone’s summer Disney comics TPBs —
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion and Walt Disney
Treasures. We thought we’d take advantage of Scoop‘s big
200th issue to share some exclusive interior pages from these big
books and tell you a little more about them.
Arriving in August, The
Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion collects the prequels, the
sequels, and the much-demanded in-between-quels to Don Rosa’s Life and Times
of Scrooge McDuck! Filling in the gaps between the twelve original chapters
are
“Of Ducks and Dimes and Destinies” (Chapter 0/US 297): On the day
Scrooge earned his famous Number One Dime, he never expected to also meet a
time-traveling Magica De Spell!
“The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark”
(Chapter 3B/Uncle Scrooge 318): Young Scrooge’s goal is merely to deliver
cattle to a sultan… but he ends up victimized by Krakatoa’s famous
blast!
“The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff” (Chapter 6B/US 306): Young
Scrooge outfoxes the Daltons with the help of Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill — and
Pothole McDuck, Scrooge’s dime-novel publishing uncle.
“Hearts of the Yukon”
(Chapter 8C/Walt Disney Giant 1): Scrooge struggles with the fallout of
his relationship with Glittering Goldie O’Gilt.
“The Sharpie of the Culebra
Cut” (Chapter 10B/US 332): When Scrooge and his sisters dig for gold in
Panama, they get mixed up in bigtime canal construction and conflict with
President Roosevelt!
“The Dream of a Lifetime!” (US 329): This later
“homage” to the Life of Scrooge features the modern-day Beagle Boys
entering Scrooge’s subconscious mind and reliving the events
themselves!
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion also
features an ALL-NEW 31-page epic making its American debut in this volume: “The
Prisoner of White Agony Creek!” Way back in Carl Barks’ classic “Back to the
Klondike” (1953), Scrooge vowed to reform crooked saloon owner — and possible
love interest — Glittering Goldie. He did it by forcing her to dig gold for
him, “show[ing] her how hard the miners she robbed worked for their gold!” But
what else happened while Scrooge and Goldie spent time on his gold claim? Did
romance blossom? We never knew… till now! But here at last comes that
long-untold tale, replete with adventure and great Rosa humor. Get a load of the
page samples below — your first look at this thrilling yarn!
And hey:
while you wait for the Companion, you can relish another of our summer
books. Walt Disney Treasures — Disney Comics: 75 Years of Inspiration is
the print tie-in to Disney’s Treasures DVD series. And it celebrates the
anniversary with stories like
“Race to the South Seas” by Carl Barks
(March of Comics 41, 1949): Scrooge mysteriously disappears in the
tropics shortly after having given boats to both Donald and lucky Gladstone. Can
they use them to save him?
“Mickey Mouse Music” (1930) and “Foray to Mount
Fishflake” (1934) by Floyd Gottfredson: Mickey becomes an artiste by
learning the flute, then struggles to climb a deadly mountain with Horace,
Goofy, and Clarabelle in tow. The first of these stories sees its first-ever
reprint here; the second appears complete with panels deleted from all previous
comic book printings!
“Donald’s Nephews” by Ted Osborne and Al Taliaferro
(1937): The historic first visit of mischievous Huey, Dewey, and Louie means
disaster for Donald and his friends. The nephews’ famous origin story appears
complete in one book for the first time in the United States!
“His Fortune
On the Rocks” by Don Rosa (Uncle Scrooge Adventures 11, 1989): When
Scrooge buys historic Snee-Kah Peak from an Indian tribe, he searches it for ore
with Donald and the boys — only to meet deadly danger!
And that’s not
the half of it. Daan Jippes, Fred Milton, and Geoff Blum’s “Sauce for the Duck”
(Donald Duck 258, 1987) presents Donald as master chef. Romano Scarpa and
Giorgio Cavazzano bring us Goofy and Ellsworth, “AKA Cormorant Number Twelve,”
foiling a jewel robbery by Pegleg Pete. Launchpad McQuack takes to the air in
Gary Leach and William Van Horn’s “Flights of Fancy” (DuckTales 3, 1988).
Brer Rabbit is up to his old tricks down south in Paul Murry’s “The Money Mint.”
Add in classic characters and creators like José Carioca, Gyro Gearloose,
Zeke Wolf, Walt Kelly, Gil Turner, and Renato Canini and you know we’re up to
something big! Look forward to it — soon!
