Carl Barks's 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. This volume starts off with "Only a Poor Old Man," 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 "Tralla La La" (also known as "The Bottlecap Story," in which Scrooge's intrusion has terrible consequences for a money-less Eden) and "Back to the Klondike" (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). Also in this volume are the full-length "The Secret of Atlantis," and over two dozen more shorter stories and one-page gags.

To commemorate the first time Don Rosa's legendary and internationally acclaimed Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories have been comprehensively reprinted in America, we have produced a stunning two-volume boxed set collecting the first two books in the 10-volume series. These two volumes contain over 30 of Rosa's ingeniously plotted, meticulously rendered, and kinetically vital Duck stories -- from "A Matter of Gravity," in which Magica deSpell turns Uncle Scrooge's world upside down and sideways, to "Return to Plain Awful," Rosa's sequel to Carl Barks' "Lost in the Andes." Both books are available in a customized, full-color slipcase at a bargain price.
