Barks Library Special - Onkel Dagobert #11

Volume 11 of Egmont Ehapa's Barks Library Special brings another beautifully presented collection of Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge stories to German-language readers, this 1999 edition centered on "Der zweitreichste Mann der Welt." The cover, pencilled and inked by Barks himself, captures a wonderfully comedic moment in a tropical setting, where Scrooge McDuck — top hat askew — is tangled up in a frantic scramble on the ground alongside another duck character, palm trees swaying in the background. With Erika Fuchs' beloved German translations complementing Barks' original storytelling and artwork, colored here by Susan Daigle-Leach, this is a handsome volume for any fan of Disney's most famously frugal waterfowl.
