Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Don Rosa Library is a series of books published by Fantagraphics Books, collecting all of the Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic book stories written and drawn by Don Rosa, originally published between 1987 and 2006. Following up Fantagraphics' Floyd Gottfredson Library and The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library, this series was launched in 2014, and will comprise 2000 pages over 10 200-page volumes when it is finished.
Format[edit]
The Don Rosa Library volumes are "8.5x11"(21.6 cm x 28 cm), making them a little bigger than the The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library (7.5x 10.25). The library will consist of 10 volumes fully coloured by Rich Tommaso and Don Rosa's help and guidance. When the series is complete it will represent a chronological collection of Rosa's stories. The volumes are published in chronological order starting with Don Rosa's first Disney story, Son of the Sun which was published in 2014.
The pages are colored by Rich Tommaso and Kneon Transitt under the supervision of Disney expert David Gerstein and Gary Groth and the help of Don Rosa himself. Rosa has stated that he checks every page and panel offering valuable insight and assistance to the Fantagraphics team in restoring the stories as they were originally intended to be published.
The books are approximately 200 pages each containing about 160 pages of comics, with the remaining pages made up of supplementary material, which include comments on the stories by Don Rosa, storie covers by the artist and a biography written by Rosa himself.
