Description

1947-2022, 75 years anniversary

Scrooge 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 favourite Disney character.
My ideal Scrooge McDuck story would be written by Carl Barks and illustrated by one of the Italian Disney artists I love!

***

This is the final cover of I Classici di Walt Disney 521 (11), the first issue with the new format: stories chosen by a Topolino magazine author (in this case Vito Stabile) that includes a prologue and pages to connect the various stories (like it was in the old issues of I Classici Disney from the 60's and 70's).

I love how Andrea here also did an homage to those old issues/covers of I Classici di Walt Disney by including the title of the stories' selection.

Please also check the rough prelim and the prelim!

Published cover (digitally colored) is in the additional images.

Huge thanks to Giacomo and Andrea!

Paper size: 25 x 35 cm

Bella copertina, mi piace la tecnica della "mezzatinta" realizzata a mano con l'inchiostro!

conferisce profondità e volume, ovviamente nei pennelli di un Maestro come Andrea Freccero :)
