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 Topolino #3462 published cover, inspired by the first chapter of the series "I Misteri di Paperopoli" (Duckburg's Mysteries), that is someway focused on Duckburg.

The cover by Andrea shows Scrooge hanging from a crane presumably at the height of a skyscraper, with binoculars in his hand, and a gorgeous wide angle view of Duckburg. This is without any doubt one of the most beautiful and impressive covers ever published on Topolino magazine.

The ink wash is beautifully done, giving depth and volume.

Please also check the additional images for the published cover (digitally colored by Andrea Cagol) and here for the cover prelim.

Huge thanks to Andrea and Giacomo!
