Comics Superstars Cover Scrooge McDuck’s First Marvel Adventure
by Tony Thornley
Marvel Comics seems to be a natural fit for the adventures of Disney’s Scrooge McDuck. In June, Uncle $crooge & The Infinity Dime will find the publisher’s first Disney duck adventure, and they’re bringing some of the biggest names in comics art along with for the adventure.
Marvel superstar Jason Aaron will pen the story which will be drawn by a group of Disney art superstars from across the globe. Combining the world of Scrooge and Duckburg with Marvel action and adventure, the story will find Scrooge in the most unbelievable situation the billionaire adventurer has ever seen- facing an evil alternate version of himself.
“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no disputing the fact that Uncle Scrooge is one of the absolute greatest characters in the history of comics. And I don’t just mean comics that feature talking animals. I mean all comics ever, bar none,” Aaron shared. “Uncle Scrooge’s rich, action-packed history includes some of the most exciting adventure comics ever created, by legendary creators like Carl Barks and Don Rosa. It’s one of the most mind-staggering thrills of my career to get to craft this epic cosmic adventure for the World’s Richest Duck, one that looks to honor the character’s legendary history while taking him to some wild, new, unexplored places in the way that only Marvel can deliver.”
To celebrate this adventure, Marvel has recruited art superstars Peach Momoko, John Romita Jr., J. Scott Campbell, Walter Simonson, Ron Lim, Elizabeth Torque, and Gabriele Dell’Otto. On top of all that Steven McNiven has created a special foil cover.
