‘A Little Something Special’ Is now available
I have read a fair amount of Disney collections lately. Each one has been a ton of fun and has taken me on some thrilling adventures. When I first heard about A Little Something Special I hoped I might get the chance to read it. I was able to get a digital copy of this collection and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the premise for this collection here:
“Curse me kilts!” As soon as Scrooge McDuck became the world’s richest miser, a rascally rogues’ gallery assembled to rob him. Now Fantagraphics launches the new Disney Greatest Comics Collection with a wild anthology of these beloved bad guys at their best… and worst!
Flintheart Glomgold, “The Second-Richest Duck,” is here in Carl Barks’ 1956 classic! Sorceress Magica De Spell is out to get “The Midas Touch,” then turns Duckburg sideways in Don Rosa’s “A Matter of Some Gravity!” The Beagle Boys pull Scrooge’s simoleons skyward in Barks’ “The Money Well,” then turn his assets liquid in Rosa’s “Cash Flow!” Playboy billionaire John D. Rockerduck debuts in Barks’ “Boat Buster,” then outspends Scrooge again in Flemming Andersen’s “Crash Course”! Plus never-before-collected tales starring Dutch tycoon Velma Vanderduck, space-monkey Tachyon Farflung… and more!
I had a great time reading this collection. We saw Scrooge and his family take on some powerful enemies, and defeating them was no simple task. Yet together, they always found a way to come out on top. There were other characters here that I had never heard of before, but those stories were a joy to read as well. You can learn more about this collection here.
Uncle Scrooge: “A Little Something Special” and Other Tales of Fiendish Foes: Disney Greatest Comics Collection Vol. 1 is now available. You can follow Fantagraphics on Facebook and Instagram.
