It's completely understandable why this won an Eisner ward for best graphic novel of the year. This is like lightning striking twenty times in one spot, it's so amazing. Don Rosa set out to make a timeline of Scrooge McDuck's life, based on every tiny little offhand bit of trivia mentioned in Carl Barks' original duck stories, and also incorporate real historical details and geography AND show the arc of the character over twelve individual stories, AND make all twelve of those stories self-contained, AND have the art be top-notch, the comedy be hilarious, and the characterization be solid and touching. This book is like the most complicated ticking pocketwatch you can imagine. So many parts all working in beautiful harmony. Such boundless fun to read. Absolutely amazing work.
