FCBD 2014: Don Rosa's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck - A Matter of Serious Gravity

by Don Rosa

In "A Matter Of Some Gravity" by fan favorite Don Rosa, saucy sorceress Magica De Spell turns Scrooge's life sideways - literally! - when she distorts the forces of gravity with a brand new magic wand! Then, in "The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink," lucky Gladstone Gander faces a 24 ­hour luck jinx­ and battles to hide it from a gloating Cousin Donald! Only ever published in the USA in underprinted mid­-1990s editions, these Rosa classics are back like you've never seen them before!

Because you have to feel like a kid every once in a while

Nice comic

It is a really humorously written book and always a pleasure to follow Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge and this one makes the chase defying rules of nature.

Rosa and Barks

After Carl Barks retired, other writers and artists continued to create new adventures for Donald and Uncle Scrooge. But Rosa was the best of them all.

This was a really weird pair of stories. I was very unimpressed with both.

Greet entry in the series, I love Don Rosa's stories and am so lucky to have had a chance to meet him. The story line is up to the standards set by Carl Barks.
