I am a huge Don Rosa fan and Fantagraphics has come out with a gift set of the first two volumes of 10 that are planned that feature the 20 year work of the awesome Don Rosa who did awesome adventures of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. Don Rosa is known for the award winning Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck which he won a Will Eisner Award in 1997 along with many other awards. The best thing about these books is that the artist and writer of these comics is providing behind the scenes material and other bonus features in each book! I always wanted to have a complete Don Rosa Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck Library and this looks like it will be the way to do it!
Here is a preview of Volume 1: www.fantagraphics.com/images/stories/previews/rosa01-preview.pdf
Here is a preview of Volume 2: www.fantagraphics.com/images/stories/previews/rosa02-preview.pdf
This 2 book set of the Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck Library features:
-Over 30 of his well researched and well drawn stories shown in chronological order
-The books are oversized, so much bigger than the actual original comic that lets the art and writing shine
-Part one of an autobiography of Don Rosa written by Don Rosa himself
-Archives of all covers Don Rosa drew during the period featured in each book
-Extensive and very well detailed behind the scenes material on every story by the artist himself Don Rosa
-Both volumes housed in a beautiful slipcase for about $33 at Amazon.
This is definitely a a great Christmas gift idea for fans of Don Rosa's work! How can you go wrong with such an awesome 2 book set featuring the first years of the amazing Don Rosa's work on Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck with tons and tons of extra bonus features and a wonderful slipcase for such an excellent price point! How often do you look at a purchase and wonder that you got such a wonderful deal on what you are getting. That is true when I purchased this set which just became available!
Overall Value of this set, both stories and extra features:
-Masterpiece A+
-A must buy for the 2014 Christmas buying season. Very highly Recommended!
