Who would&#8217;ve thought that a Disney funnybook would get as much critical acclaim as The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, by Don Rosa (NOT this title, which is a collection of old Scrooge comics by Carl Barks)? Within a couple of weeks, it was touted as a masterpiece of the medium by two podcasting comics critics (and I&#8217;m not aware of more than two &#8211; Augie de Bliek and Bill Jourdain, namely). This raised an eyebrow, so when I came across this title in my school&#8217;s library (one of the perks of going to art school) I thought maybe I should get some background on the genre and the character &#8211; What I know now is limited to the Duck Tales TV show and movie.</p> Fri, 23 Sep 2005 05:12:53 GMT http://www.allconsuming.net/entry/view/13490 nobody@allconsuming.net (Jacob)
