You've put the bar too high OP. Everything pales in comparison to life and times.
ITT: Americans pretending they know or care about Don Rosa for online comic cred.
>>82402909
I thought we weren't allowed to like Don Rosa anymore because of autism or whatever...
>>82403523
>>82403340
Fantagraphics is putting out new editions of Rosa and Barks. So that material is available again for the first time in awhile and at a very high quality.
>>82402909
don rosa's entire catalogue, more or less, is shit carl barks fan fiction
fuck 'im
>>82405648
trying too hard
>>82405677
I sincerely mean it
shit like the amount of research he put into his work is impressive, but in terms of storytelling/homage it just reads like fan fiction
>>82405703
It's more of an excuse to lure in readers by exploring familiar ground and doing his own thing with it.
That is literally why anyone would ever make a DUCK comic in the first place.
>>82405784
not even gonna argue with that.
i'm just not at all a fan of his writing and so thought i'd throw my own opinion into the 10,000th rosa circlejerk
>>82405821
I respect your opinion even if I don't personally share it.
What is your favorite barks story?
>>82403523
Don't let contrarian faggots ruin shit for you.
>>82408037
I know you're being a dipshit, but I'm still mad.
>>82406138
Oh, I don't. I love Rosa.I prefer him to Barks, generally.
>>82405703
>but in terms of storytelling/homage it just reads like fan fiction
Whenever I read his stuff, it just seems better structured than Barks'. It's probably because it's a product of a different time, with different storytelling standards, but Rosa stories almost always end with a clever twist or solution that is usually based in scientific or historical fact. Barks' stories usually end with something he pulled out of his ass because he knew he was just writing comics for kids. Nothing wrong with that, his stories are still solid and satisfying, but Barks went that extra mile. Who cares if he was basically writing fanfics? That's pretty much what most writers do in the world of comics, nowadays.
>>82405886
Not him, but as someone who prefers Rosa, my favorite Barks story is "Only a Poor, Old Man...". Holy shit, every page just gets crazier and more absurd, but the stakes still feel high. It's a perfect example of a controlled burn into absolute madness. I think I liked it as a kid because it was the kind of story that most straightforwardly reminded me of a DuckTales episode.
Lost in the Andes is one of his most acclaimed works, and I only read it for the first time a few years ago, and I was let down after all the hype. Once again, it was a solid, straightforward story, but... eh. Like I said before, it's just that a lot of Bark's stuff came from a time where a solid, straightforward story in a comic book was a pretty hard thing to come by.
>>82411629
That ok as long as you give Barks the due respect for creating the story framework Rosa used.
>>82411804
Barks best aspect was his cartooning and use of allegories. All of his stories actually have messages despite seeming simple and his storytelling techniques are still utilized today because he was far ahead of the curve regarding how to use the comic page properly.

> Scrooge
> Buried with anything but his gigantic piles of money
>>82412457
>not being buried in his own gigantic pile of money
>>82412570
Literally how? He spends every morning swimming under thousands of tons of gold. He's fucking immune.
>>82412997
I mean when he dies. Instead of paying for a plot in a graveyard, he'd probably just rather be buried in the center of his own money bin.
>>82413061
And emerge one million years later, revived with a body of solid gold as Scrooge Prime.
>>82403580
When are americans going to get duck comics made by europeans?
>>82413218
As he continues his battle against the evilbeagletrons
>>82413303
IDW has been reprinting them.
>>82413303
Probably never, since they can hardly get into the ones written by Americans.
That said, IDW has started publishing translated European Disney comics. Not sure how well they're being received, but there's no shortage of them. I think there are like, 4 different ongoings right now.
>>82413378
>>82413401
Good, maybe we can one day have an actual duck comic thread on /co/ that isn't just rosa and barks.
>>82403602
I honestly like the midevil feeling the comic had before it delved into cheap parodies and a groucho marx knock off.
I've only come across the first volume of cerebus, ended around the swamp thing parody.
Did it just get worse after the first volume?
>>82413619
Might as well post my favourite moments.
>>82413486
>Did it just get worse after the first volume?
No, generally people thin the first volume is one of the weakest
>>82413643
>>82413656
>>82413663
>>82413672
That reveal. Wotta comic.
My favorite moment will always be the steamboat massacre though.

Good thread, OP. Rosa and Barks are amazing.
>>82413687
I actually prefer when he leaves the mining town behind while Goldie's waiting for him to come back. Tugs at the heartstrings.
>>82413779
King of the Klondike and Yukon hearts absolutely destroyed me.
>>82413486
If you don't like Lord Julius youre not gonna enjoy the rest of the comic
I enjoy the sword and sorcery stuff a lot too, but if you don't like the parody then the comic is not for you
I started Life and Times but I'm stuck on the story about Australia becaues I keep looking for the hidden D.U.C.K. on the title page and cover and won't read until i find it
>>82413820
God tier comic. LITERALLY.

What the hell did Donald do
>>82402909
>>82413486
It gets better after the first volume.
Like, astronomically better. You can see the issue where the writing and art just takes off.
>>82413779
I dunno. I finally tracked down Sam and Max's comics after enjoying the Telltale games and just... It was honestly kind of a letdown. A bunch of loosely-strung together 'lolrandom' happenings that seemed like a tamer, better drawn version of a Jhonen Vasquez comic.
Like Animaniacs with less charm and more guns.
>>82402909
I'd still say Denny O'Neil's The Question run is still among the best superhero runs ever done, up there with Miller's Daredevil.
>That issue where a piece of shit bigot saves Question, and the bigot's renowned as a hero
>>82411873
Go back to bed, Don.
>>82413924
What pisses me off the most is thatI probably would have ended up doing the same. I'd probably end up hastefully walking away
>>82403602
>tfw I like the entire 300 issue run but everyone says they hate it
Which is the true patrician opinion ?
>>82413979
Why? I posted two great comics.
>>82412457
Would Scrooge go out like a Viking "corpse burnt on a boat filled with money" or would his cheapness continue into death? (His body sold to duckberg university for 45 cents)
>>82413990
Fucked up the holy grail.
>>82402909
My friend recommended this to me after I watch The Holy Mountain.
>>82415283
The latter sounds so plausible it's scary
>>82415302
What on earth is this? I've read my fair share of Italian Disney comics but this art doesn't look familiar at all
>>82412325
Name?
>>82415283
Considering he put Huey, Louie and Dewey in his will I'd go with the second option.
>>82415398
Not that guy but I think it's just called Skeleton Jelly. I've never found the full comic online though.
>>82413990

He just broke the holy graal

Nigger, that's some bad taste you got there

I honestly think part 2 better days and last days could have focused on something other than religion.
