Description1947-2022, 75 years anniversaryScrooge McDuck, a Scottish-American anthropomorphic Pekin duck created by Carl Barks for the Disney comic books, first appeared in the story "Christmas on Bear Mountain", published in December of 1947 (Four Color #178). Living in Duckburg, Calisota, in his own "Money Bin" placed on Killmule hill, he's Donald Duck's maternal uncle, as well as Huey's, Dewey's, and Louie's grand-uncle. The richest duck in the world, he was initially characterized as a greedy miser and antihero, but in later appearances he has often been portrayed as a thrifty hero, adventurer and explorer. He's, without a doubt, my favorite Disney character. My ideal Scrooge McDuck story would be written by Carl Barks and illustrated by one of the Italian Disney artists I love! *** Once it was confirmed Fabio Celoni would have been in Lucca Comics & Games, I contacted him to get a Scrooge commission to celebrate the 75 years anniversary. He didn't have enough time to do something complex (I usually ask him subjects that could give him headaches), but I would have been more than happy even if he only had time for a pencil piece ^_^ Not 100% sure if he also thought about this, but I first met Fabio in 2007, exactly 15 years before, and at the time he did another Uncle Scrooge for me, you can see it here. I like to think he chose the same pose for this very reason <3 Huge thanks to Fabio! Paper size: 21 x 29.7 cm Social/Sharing |

Scrooge would have this expression even if he was alone and no one else saw him. Such is how his characterization has been through the years and how strong an impression he has made. All wonderfully captured by Celoni.
