The illustrated sections in this compilation are prefaced by densely detailed publication histories and analytical essays, making this work feel aimed at older fans and collectors of vintage comics. Still, kids will enjoy following the miserly mega-tycoon into and out of pickles with crooks or unscrupulous rivals—particularly as his feckless feathered nephew, Donald, and canny grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, often trail along to save the day. Species-wise, the cast of villains make up a varied, if duck-centric, lot. They’re led by green-skinned “galactic gulag” escapee Tachyon Farflung and devious Italian spellcaster Magica De Spell, whose efforts to snatch Scrooge’s treasured “first dime” (which of course he still has, on a pedestal in his office) run through several entries. The colors look bright and fresh both in the panels and in the accompanying full-page cover and poster art. An early content warning advises readers that the stories—first published between 1951 and 2013—may contain “cartoon violence, historically dated material, or gags that depict smoking and gunplay” as well as “stereotypes or negative depictions.” Adults can help young readers unpack this content—for example, a reference to “a settlers’ refuge during the Indian Wars!”, about which Uncle Scrooge remarks, “Those pioneers had it soft! Only Indians to fight!”
