Welcome to the $crooge McDuck Home Page.
The purpose of The
$crooge Page is to encourage readership of Uncle $crooge comics, as well as
Donald Duck, which will undoubtedly be covered as the page continues to develop.
The site is not maintained by the Walt Disney Co., which owns the copyright on
all characters shown, or Gladstone Comics, the publishers of the issues
discussed here. Rather, it is hoped that both Disney and Gladstone will receive
continued and increased support by sales of the comics based on interest
generated by this Web site. Be sure to look for Disney comics at your favorite
specialty store. You'll soon discover that, like the best animated cartoons and
feature films, these comics were not created solely for children, but are meant
to entertain all ages.
As this site continues to
be in a formative stage, many changes have taken place since we first started
working on it. In its present state, the page provides a place for fans or
newly interested readers to go behind the scenes in the creation of recently
issued adventures of Uncle $crooge. As you page through what we offer,
writer/artist Don Rosa will guide you through each issue in the Eisner
Award-winning series, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF $CROOGE McDUCK. He'll
explain where his ideas come from, the research behind the stories that strive
to mix fact and fancy in an entertaining way. You'll also get to see unused
ideas and images of the art before it is sent the publisher to be colored and
lettered, and you'll even learn where he hides those elusive D.U.C.K.s
in his covers and splash panels. (See... each issue is more than a good read,
it's a game!)
And
now... the making of...

Gyro's Really Big Art Viewing Tips:
- Use your browser's ability to save images on an HTML page. With Netscape and Internet Explorer this can be done by right-clicking on the image and selecting Save Image As...
- The Black and White art is in GIF format, most of the color images are JPEGs. After you've saved them to your personal hard disk you can bring them up with your favorite graphics program and see the whole picture at one instead of scrolling up and down, right and left, backwards and forwards, in and out, yin and yang.
