[WTT] The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

[wildfire405]

The reason he's so upset about Duck Tales is that his and his hero's work on the comics was contracted work. They got paid once for it when it was originally done--and they weren't paid much. Disney has used their stories and characters, reprinted them, adapted them into episodes of the TV show and hasn't so much as credited Rosa or Barks as contributors (edit) let alone pay them for using their work over and over and making more money off it.

Disney was a horrible company for him to work for and he's bitter over those sour experiences. But he does love the ducks, his hero, Carl Barks, and he loves being acknowledged for his work--like any of us would.

I believe the first half of Life and Times is going to see a reprint this year. Mine is already preordered!! http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Uncle-S...scrooge+mcduck
