As a miserly curmudgeon, Scrooge McDuck is well-known to all. However, his creator, the "father" of all duck comics, Carl Barks, also endowed him with lovable and quite charming traits that reflect his role as the caring patriarch of his duck clan. A wonderful insight into the soul of the arch-capitalist from Duckburg is provided by the series Barks' Uncle Scrooge, which presents all of Scrooge's stories by the great duck master in chronological order and serves as a logical continuation and complement to the long-successful hardcover series Barks Comics & Stories.
