I am seeing this solicited from Boom! in the August Previews, and for folks who have never checked this out, I cannot recommend in highly enough. The definitive Scrooge story (and this from someone who has read all the Barks stuff.....but Don Rosa is a worthy successor to "the Good Duck Artist").....

There's a big ad for this on p. 225 of the August Previews, it's a $24.99 HC, but DCBS has it on special discount for only $13.74!!!!

I will point out that they are advertising this as "For the First time in Hardcover". This is not true. I'm looking at a HC of this on my shelf right now. This may be the first mass-market HC, though, as the one I have is a signed & #'d edition of 1000.

In any event, if you have ever wondered why people talk about Uncle Scrooge as a "really cool" character, then you should get this book. For $13.74, you can't go wrong......

I'm on this one. I've been wanting to pick this up for a while now, and a hardcover book, at the DCBS price, is too good to pass up.

I pre-ordered volumes 1&2 from Amazon.ca based on your recommendation Bob

You know, your statement just made me notice that Boom is doing this as a Volume 1 & Volume 2.

When I got the Limited HC years ago from Gemstone it was all in a single volume, so I was just assuming it was a single HC.

I hadn't noticed that either. Might just stick with my SC.

This is a must buy for me. Always loved the character and am glad to see they're putting this together at an affordable price!

I'm thinking about buying this for myself and my nephew, but I'm annoyed that they're splitting it up into two volumes. Maybe this is a good time for me to place my first DCBS order to get the big discount.

Yeah.....it would have been nice to have it all in a single volume, but look at it this way, in one volume it would have been $50 (I paid more than that for the one I got many moons ago), so getting it in two $25 packages is not so bad, less individual "sticker shock"

I actually don't have this in any form. So I'm excited to get this and read it

Yeah, keeping the price down is a good thing, especially since I'm probably going to be buying several copies as gifts.
