here in poland egmont publishes the disney/ duck stories. Unfortunately all they seem to care about is reprinting/ publishing Carl Barks and Don Rosa over and and over again and very liitle of others creators aside from them now here lies be sure to read the followng artice very carefully.
We know which comics are included in the Million Dollar Coat: "The Secret of the Old Castle" and Other Stories volume , the first installment in the Disney Great Heroes series featuring Scrooge McDuck comics! It's both very good and... very bad . Unfortunately, the volume suffers from very similar problems to the Donald Duck edition , though ultimately it's a much more interesting book.The cover price of the 420-page edition is PLN 119.99 and will be available from Wednesday on Empik.com , in Empik stores, and on Egmont.pl . It will be available in other retail outlets in January.Cover - drawing by Giulia Lomurno Foreword - 9 pages - article The Great Bear - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 20 pages - reprint from KD 2009-51-52 and KCB 9 - Scrooge's debut The Secret of the Old Castle - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 32 pages - reprint from KCB 9 Hard Come, Easy Go - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KD 1994-10, 2005-42 and KCB 10 Sneeze at the Billions! - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from MM 1991-09, KD 2011-27 and KCB 13 Return to the Klondike - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 32 pages - reprint from KD 2012-09-10 and KCB 1 - Złotka's debut On the Golden Globe - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 20 pages - reprint from KCB 8 We'll Go Hunting - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 9 pages - reprint from KCB 21 Kidnapping in Duckburg - script and art by Romano Scarpa - 33 pages - Filon's debut McDuck of Arabia - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 24 pages - reprint from KCB 27 The Vanishing Island - drawing by Tony Strobl - 10 pages The Treasure of Long Duck Silver - written by Tom Anderson, art by Daniel Branca - 24 pages King Scrooge the First - script and art by Don Rosa - 28 pages - reprint from KOM 2011-01 and DR 2

Of the 348 comic book pages, 249 are by Barks and Rosa, or 71.5%. By comparison, in the German edition, only 41% were stories by these creators. Furthermore, one of the four comics by other creators, Cavazzano's story that concludes the volume, was published in the Gigant Special , which went on sale just 13 months ago.https://www-komiksydisneya-pl.translate.goog/2025/12/wielcy-bohaterowie-disneya-wujek.html?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pl&_x_tr_pto=wapp
And here are the contents of Quack Adventures: "Crows and Ducks" and Other Stories,"We expected Disney's Great Heroes to be a less-than-stellar series, but I don't think anyone expected that the volume "Quack Adventures: "Crows and Ducks" and Other Stories," scheduled for September 10th , would feature a whopping 130 pages of Barks and Rosa comics, and that 70% of the edition would consist of comics published in other hardcover editions. You can pre-order the 264-page volume on Guild , among other sites . The Wise Hen - written by Ted Osborne, drawn by Al Taliaferro - 14 pages - reprint from NWD Sunday Dinner - written by Bob Karp, drawn by Al Taliaferro - 1 page Ravens and Ducks - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KD 2022-02 and KCB 16 A Night at the Hotel - script by Bob Karp, art by Al Taliaferro - 1 page Full of Energy - written by Bob Karp, art by Al Taliaferro - 1 page Trills and models - script by Bob Karp, drawing by Al Taliaferro - 1 page - reprint from KD 2008-23 Panic at the Picnic - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KCB 20 Night Watch - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KD 2001-01 and KCB 9 Seekers of the Underground Spring - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KD 1999-18 and KCB 11 Not Your Brooch - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 28 pages - reprint from KCB 12 Trick or Treat - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 33.5 pages - reprint from KCB 1 Your Neighbor is Your Enemy - written and drawn by Carl Barks - 10 pages - reprint from KD 1997-35 and KCB 26 Owes/Has - written and drawn by Tony Strobl - 10 pages A Hero Without Memory - script by Giorgio Pezzin , art by Giorgio Cavazzano - 37 pages Money Makes Money - script and drawing by Don Rosa - 10 pages - reprint from MM 1992-07, KGD 4 and DR 1
Only Pumpkins - script and drawing by Don Rosa - 10 pages - reprint from KGD 4 and DR 1When the Flower Blooms - script by Evert Geradts, art by Mau Heymans - 10 pages+ approx. 40 pages of articles and supplements Compared to the Scandinavian edition, the volume is missing, among others, Gottfredson's The Case of the Vanishing Coats , Pezzina and Cavazano's Paperino e il croccante al diamante , Vicar's Coin Collector , and Ferioli's The Life and Lies of Donald Duck . Instead, we get more comics by Barks and Rosa, which are usually widely available as part of published complete collections. It's worth noting that even the volume's description mentions "contemporary Northern European stories," although no such comics will appear in this edition. The Scandinavian edition included two, and the Polish edition zero, but the mention remains. https://www-komiksydisneya-pl.translate.goog/2025/09/wielcy-bohaterowie-disneya-1-kaczor_2.html?_x_tr_sl=pl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pl&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Now here is my beef Carl Barks' Ducktown: A chronological collection of comics created by "The Duck Man" from 1943 to 1972. This series presents all the stories featuring Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and other characters in the order they were created.Right this was a collection of ALL of the works of Carl Barks in 30 HC books now then most of these books are still in print they were published from 2018 to 2025. now a person would think that Egmont would publish other creators works as such as. Romano Scarpa, william van horn after this but instead they reprint the worksq of Carl Barks and Don Rosa in huge quantities of couse I understand the need for reprints but a book should not contain a 71.5% amount of reprint. Now in closing egmont said they would cut down on the barks and Don Rosa reprints in future books but as it turns they are not thus they are simply lying their ass off and this makes them a fraud.
And here are fans reactions about the whole thing.
>>151626259I would totally fuck donald up the ass
>>151626259>>151626317>>151626371>>151626441>>151626474>>151626823>>151626929OK. So... what do you want /co/ to do about it? 90% of us are in the United States and could give less of a fuck about reprints of non-Barks/Rosa material... so what are you trying to accomplish here?
I guess they saved a buck or two on needed translations? Or royalties to authors? Anyway kinda crappy treatment of fans, embrace the autists, they're the ones teaching their kids to read duck comics.
>>151626259I don't know, I mostly buy GIGANT books, they have the best page to price ratio. And to be honest it's always good to have more reprints of old Kaczor Donald stories, old Kaczor Donald magazines aren't usualy available in libraries.
>>151627905>could give less of a fuck about reprints of non-Barks/Rosa materialBad taste honestly, I'm American but a lot of these Euro comics are excellent. Barks is obviously the best but I like some of the Euro guys better than Rosa.
>>151627905Sorry OP you're taking up valuable board space that could be used for ragebait, Hazbin or hourly Homestuck/Death Battle generals
