There are a bunch of people, guys, let's say clown born in the mid-eighties, certainly in the first well (perhaps a bit later but I I can not pronounce) we laughed when he saw Cody our beautiful family on M6 the evening, at another time of day or time Parker Lewis was our hero-boyfriend (synchronization watches!) Kubiac and a big fun on Wednesday morning we were just happy to take his breakfast and go and ask to look at TF1 Dragon Ball and other stuff that our parents and teachers of history- geo were particularly weak. Moreover, we moaned when the Club Dorothée stopped, especially that there were not many episodes of Dragon Ball to be broadcast, I think. There were also magazines, stuff on Dragon Ball also sometimes a Spirou Journal or Mickey Mouse, a Mickey Parade, Super Giant Scrooge McDuck or Magazine. Spirou we will remove it from the list because it does not. Finally we read stories with ducks or mice. Over time we lost the majority of things we had read in-let's face it, unless you have less than twelve years, there was not necessarily much to save (especially Mickey Parade in fact, c That was nice but it was not much further, maybe it works if you're not looking at the side graphic, narrative, humorous or in general). We remember that there was a lot of Italian names and Scrooge Magazine in we were told that the stories of ducks had some success in Scandinavia. It has not really caught the names of guys who did that, more or less well. Yeah, more or less. It is "dispensable," as they say, good stories is not necessarily the camouflage uniform. Basically, we selected two names: Carl Barks, the creator, instigator, the monster, and especially Don Rosa, a student lecture or buyer. Especially because perhaps the line was clearer, sharper colors, and generally more plentiful in the absolute most modern . Both were those that gave a soul to ducks. In fact, one remembers mainly stories of adventure and treasure hunting, treasures of all conceivable (included in an aggregate cultures and mythologies available), and some mythical stories ( If Donald did not exist? , something beautiful out in Le Journal de Mickey for 60 years of the character, I did not even eight years), we remember the rest of farther, it eventually centered around The Youth Scrooge. It was also in the midst of things due to the purposes of this decade, religiously bought our complete copy (at the time, 15 episodes in one volume) Youth in 1998. We grew up with, we begin to see that the division of Don Rosa is sometimes shaky at the beginning of history, that the ellipses between the tiny-boxes are clumsy, at some level, ill snap some cells, a shift absurd, but who cares, it does not last, it's still early, it is unclear whether rapid change or if it is already embedded in the history to our little boy level begins perhaps to understand that "perfect work" has no interest and that everything will always prevail, so what if the parties are unequal.
It continues to grow. It was the Internet. We discover that Carl Barks in his name an asteroid that Donald Duck is ranked 7 th the Top 100 Comics Journal, Scrooge McDuck (or Scrooge) in 20 th . It is unclear whether it's worth something, but it's something. We also realize that in 1995 Don Rosa received an Eisner Award for "Best Serialized series" for Youth, which we learn in passing that it is called The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck and that is surely a package lost in the indifference nominations each. Same thing, we do not know if that advance much, but it shows if need be that some highly placed know that this guy can do what he does. Finally there is still love. The thing is that unless we come across people who as we knew it, people who are talking about watching us in bewilderment. - Scrooge? Seriously? This thing with anthropomorphic ducks? The DuckTales (woo-hoo)? Even people who ended up being convinced that the manga is not necessarily an indefinite bunch of crap interchangeable, more indifferent than anything else out of spite, moreover, raise eyebrows. Finally we do not care, in the heap we saw that some also included, although it is sad the last few months: Don Rosa, suffering from eye and apparently poorly paid, will more than Disney.
The Youth Scrooge What is the way? 18 stories scattering between 1877 (he was born in 1867) and the early twentieth century, the last two episodes up until 1930 and then a sad Christmas 1947, telling how chaotic Scrooge became the richest duck in the world . Based on various stories placed it there or in the mouth of Scrooge by Carl Barks and filling in the blanks, Don Rosa decided to show us what led the young Balthazar, Scottish (predisposition to stinginess) shoeshine, to be a cantankerous old down in his chair (the beginning of episode 12, last time before the call to adventure that rings the appearance of Donald (nephew) and his own nephews, opening a kind of paradox of ordinary heroes frozen in time: until 1947, Scrooge grows older, from 1947, as Scrooge is locked in time, including retrospectively and / or stories from other authors), through a slew of countries and temporary jobs, swindlers and meeting fabulous. It reeks of adventure, travel, grand and nice bright scholarship combining duck with events more or less important humor is, the boxes are full of details without being really loaded (say that even Eiichiro Oda, yet very professional in this field should bend) is fluid, funny and it knows to be poignant. A duck can be poignant. The mental evolution of the character, his relationship with money (the pivot of his richness, the Klondike) (money for what it is and what he represents, he can explain it ) or its conflictual relationship with Goldie, her sadness at the impossibility of success choice.
And hey, there's been a while, we learned that people were going out of Scrooge Magazine volumes comprising had done everything Don Rosa Scrooge, Donald and other locals. First two volumes of Youth, then the rest, more or less chronologically. Initially it was strange to say that they would return home "your newsagent" for him to take a copy of Scrooge Magazine. Then here. Indeed, it is not clear that it is an integral, or even full stories by more than ten pages. We speculates, but apart from a few one will compare with the official lists. More generally nothing is really accurate, the stories are in an undefined order. This is not a beautiful object but for 4 euros 90 we will not complain, in perhaps waiting for this .
few days ago the volume 7 is out, given what we know is the last. What matters is that it contains two stories to apprehend the emotional dimension of the character of Scrooge (and others, to a lesser extent, modulate what Donald). The first, "A Letter From Home" (A letter from home ), returning via the Templars on a hidden treasure in the castle where the family lived Scrooge (note also the Holy Grail, sort of ultimate relic, treated like a poor shit), family he left to his thirteen years and has since seen little in situations dispassionately. Obliged return to the place of his childhood and being confronted with his sister Matilda, he is facing what she thinks of him and wider picture of solitary miser he left through the world, until his parents
"Mom ... Dad ... Do you agree with my mission? Were you proud to know that I was traveling the globe in search of fortune? Did you understand my passion for adventure lived around the world? For the thrill I felt in confronting the smartest ... and winning? Or did you think I only thought of money? What opinion did you think of me? I will never know. I was moving constantly and you could not send me a letter "(at the grave of his parents)
" I have never received a letter from home! I was alone against the world the world! And the world won! "
" 'I was too ashamed! [...] My body became stronger than my ideals. I lost sight of my goals. But ... I was too stubborn to recognize it. Mom and Dad had already left ... And when you left me, I lost my joie de vivre "(once the treasure found by talking to Matilda)
is basically about these three quotes that can stand the history, mingled with memories of his whole journey honest young man seeking adventure and wealth, until node or the second component is passed to the first. McDuck, discovering the treasure hidden beneath the family home, a loop adventure running into decades and eventually verbalize his feelings.
The second, "The prisoner Valley White Agony "( The Prisoner of White Agony Creek ), arrives as an episode of Scrooge's youth (she is also officially episode 8B, leaning back and simply between 8 and 8C, written and published earlier), leaving not a precise point in history but as Scrooge story to his nephews, his eyes lost in front of a priceless treasure. The interest of this story is mainly that it occurred shortly after a turning point in the evolution of the still young duck: see the end found his first nugget, he is "rich." There has to clean the muddy ground to discover that is gold. His quest for adventure, led by symbolically search of riches, will switch on the secondary side. This nugget accelerates the evolution of the character, ranging from the innocence or naivety (again in episode 6, he is fooled by an Afrikaner ...) to the cynicism and greed (the character of Soapy Slick, crooked banker and ignoble, who bluntly tells Scrooge prisoner that his mother died). With material wealth, his quest is over, he knows he will never be the same. But what? Continue to lie and to delay the deadline? It will be rich, that the switch is operated now or years later will not change much to this fact. He embraces his future, even going slowly on a sloping path towards avarice and the remoteness of his own, to Scrooge is known. Ute to the last box episode 8 not co ntient also not a "The End" but "The beginning". More than a hackneyed trick screenplay even before its first use is a fact of incredible sadness that settled: here the young adventurer dies, leaving room for which advanced more than money. All this, of course, until 1947. All this yet, why not? until his verbal recognition in A letter from home .
The episode sees the return nine, two years after his first nugget in his native Highlands, where he will don for the first time the legendary coat, swims in his money and begins to act in a contemptuous way, admitting he deserves his fortune (which is true) ... Assuming that the change is still exciting to him, he is in the range between these two stories. This is where settle episodes 8B and C. This is where the character moves really Goldie, in which he finds an alter ego to handle and love one another and have difficulty accepting. Their relationship is obviously tough, silently swinging between anger, misunderstanding and timidity in his isolated cottage as small town, while Jack London écribouille what will become great. Starting from the Klondike, Yukon, Scrooge is a voluntary choice ...
