Uncle Scrooge #352

Uncle Scrooge

by Carl Barks, Al Hubbard (Artist), Daniel Branca (Artist)

In "Islan of Golden Geese," Scrooge finds a genuine golden egg amoung the goose eggs he's bought at the market. The search for more leads him to Featherbrain Island, where geeky landlady Fannie Featherbrain considers gold more trash than treasure. In "Say Uncle," while Scrooge and Donald go on a business trip, Fethry babysits Huey, Dewey and Louie... with the help of a guidebook called "How to Cope With Children" Just in time for Easter, "The Great Egg Hunt" finds Scrooge trying to save rare vulture eggs from a desolate mountain. In "Magic's Missin' Magica," the evil sorceress doesn't seem to be in town, but Scrooge is paranoid about her anyway. In "The Bunny Song," Donald is working at Scrooge's costume factory... and accidentally makes ten thousand bunny suits too many.

About the author

Carl Barks was an American cartoonist, author, and painter. He is best known for his work in Disney comic books, as the writer and artist of the first Donald Duck stories and as the creator of Scrooge McDuck. He worked anonymously until late in his career; fans dubbed him "The Duck Man" and "The Good Duck Artist". In 1987, Barks was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
Barks worked for the Disney Studio and Western Publishing where he created Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961).
He has been named by animation historian Leonard Maltin as "the most popular and widely read artist-writer in the world". Will Eisner called him "the Hans Christian Andersen of comic books." Beginning especially in the 1980s, Barks' artistic contributions would be a primary source for animated adaptations such as DuckTales and its 2017 remake.
