[Prospecting in the Klondike] [1]
Well, it seems to day is comics day around here. First it was Calvin &Hobbes [2], and now it's Uncle Scrooge [3].
Don Rosa's [4] The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is a comic book masterpiece. It’s one of my all-time favorite stories, a tribute to one of the all-time greats, Carl Barks [5], by a guy who isn’t too far shy of that title himself. Expertly researched and threaded through an existing continuity in a way that’s still incredibly accessible to readers. And yet, every time I read it, I find myself thinking “wouldn’t this be better if it was told through the timeless medium of Finnish prog rock?”
Via Jeff Cuscutis [6] through MyGoogleFaceSpacePlusBook, “ Don Rosa Draws For a Finnish Rock Album About Scrooge McDuck [7]”
Um … I never asked myself that question either, but the video presented of one of the songs has me intrigued enough to maybe pick up the album when it comes out.
