Alongside a lineup of superstar artists, writer Jason Aaron returns with an all-new UNCLE SCROOGE comic series "UNCLE SCROOGE: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST DUCK."
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Scrooge McDuck is starring in all-new adventures from Marvel Comics! Following last year's acclaimed Uncle Scrooge & the Infinity Dime one-shot, the first-ever Uncle Scrooge Marvel comic, the legendary adventurer is back to take things to the level with a solo four issue limited series this August—UNCLE SCROOGE: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST DUCK!
Announced last week at D23.com, Uncle Scrooge & the Infinity Dime scribe and superstar Marvel writer Jason Aaron returns to craft another fantastic Uncle Scrooge saga that expertly blends the wonderful world of Uncle Scrooge with epic Marvel Comics super hero storytelling. Aaron will be joined by an extravagance of all-star artists including Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mahmud Asrar, and Ciro Cangialosi. UNCLE SCROOGE: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST DUCK kicks off in August and today, fans can behold the covers for the first two issues. The covers see how some of industry's biggest talents—from Gabriele Dell'Otto to Mark Brooks—bring this beloved comic book icon to life Marvel style!
In UNCLE SCROOGE: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST DUCK, the planet has been conquered by alien invaders known as the Connoisseurs, nefarious hoarders of the rarest antiquities from throughout the cosmos. As they tear the Earth apart, pillaging its fabled treasures, only the world's greatest adventurer can possibly stop them. But Scrooge McDuck is facing a battle unlike any he's ever fought, trapped inside his own mind, fighting to preserve his most precious memories.
"Scrooge McDuck is one of the greatest heroes in the history of comics, bar none," Aaron said. "It was a thrill to get to write him in the pages of Uncle Scrooge & the Infinity Dime, as we took him on a journey across the multiverse. With this new series, I knew we'd have to go bigger, not just by incorporating more Marvel artists into the mix, but by sending Scrooge on the most epic story of his career, as he fights to save the one thing more precious to him than gold or any exotic treasure: his own memories of a life of adventure."
