Scans
And now, for the moment you've been waiting for... the scans!
Although many are unavailable at this point, we are always striving to add more. Please click on the
cover pictures to reveal the panel scans.
King of the Klondike
King of the Klondike was not only
the eighth episode of his "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" masterpiece, it was also the first of Don's
stories to have a One and Three part version. Interestingly, with the exception of the text boxes in the
European versions, The art for the three and single part versions is exactly the same, unlike all the
other multi-part stories!

Single Part Scans:
The Empire-Builder From Calisota
The Empire-Builder From Calisota was the first
real single and multi-part story. That's right, the art for the two versions is completely different!
Special Note: The text in the single part scans for this story is in fact Don's original text. We
would show you the original American scans, but unfortunately Tristan's scanner broke!

Single Part Scans:
The Treasury of Croesus
This third iteration of multiple
versions is a bit odd because the one part version never appeared in America, instead Americans got the
three part, unlike usual. After examining the scans that follow, it may become obvious why Gladstone's
editors printed the three part version. The army in the splash panel in the beginning of Part III looks
much more daunting than its European counterpart, given only a wide panel. Like "King of the Klondike",
part II of the 3 part version has the same art as the splash panel of the single part version, so we only
posted one.

Single Part Scans:
The Once and Future Duck
In "Once and Future Duck" Donald
and the boys go on yet another time traversing adventure, this time to the time of King Arthur!
Special Note: The thumbnail used here is NOT a cover. Because we were unable to find a cover picture
related to this story, we croped the picture of Donald from the splash panel in Part II of the three part
version. So, don't spend to much time trying to figure out where this cool cover came from. :-)

Single Part Scans:
Hearts of the Yukon
Although not officially part of "The Life and Times of
Scrooge McDuck", this story was published right after the 12+ part mini-series ended (for the first time). In this
story Don's humor really shines, making it Tristan's favorite Don Rosa work. With a great story like this to kick
of the Walt Disney Giant series, one wonders why it never made it through a years publication. Enough mindless
banter, you want... the scans, right?

The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff
Does Don Rosa like telling about
Scrooges history or what? Thats right, "The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff" is actually "The Life and Times
of Scrooge McDuck" Part 6 and a half! The interesting thing about these scans, is the fact that
most of the time, some very funny jokes are lost in the transion to a three parter, because of a
lack of space due to those huge, beautiful splash panels (See , "The Treasury of Croesus") but here
we see a good joke in the three part version! Look at the splash panel on part III to see it.

Single Part Scans
Attack of the Hideous Space Varmits
Another of Don Rosa's one and
three part masterpieces is "Attack of the Hideous Space Varmits". The single part version was recently published in Germany.
Unfortunately, the art didnt change much, although the close up of scrooge does add to the effect of the splash pannel!
Another Special Note: Again, no cover exists (yet) for this story, so the thumbnail is cropped from a
splash panel.

Single Part Scans
The Black Knight
In this story, Scrooge and Donald
encounter none other than, The Black Knight! Maybe something is lost in the re-translation, but looking
the at the pair of scans we show here, the extra seems to appear in the one part version that wasn't
in the 3-part splash panel, yet the splash panel seems to do a better job a explaing the situation. For
those curious about why we only have two scans, starting with "The Black Knight", Don Rosa is drawing One
and Two Part versions, rather than one and three parters.

Single Part Scan
The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark
Don's Latest story, "The Cowboy Captain of the
Cutty Sark" is another iteration in the "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" mini-series. The most important
fact about this story, is that as of yet it will be the last of Don's stories to be published in English, as
at present Disney Comics are no longer published in America. Though this may be, we still expect to see
diffrent versions of Rosa's work appearing in the rest of the world. For us in America: Lets keep our fingers
crossed, and start learning Danish or German!
