5 stars

I love Disney stuff and always have loved it. This is a masterpiece, and as someone said, a great piece of literature. Rosa's drawings are of course wonderful in themselves, but the whole story is a great adventure. You travel with McDuck literally all over the world, from a start in a Glaswegian poor home to the empire he builds in "Calisota". It's at one time an adventure story and a representation of the American dream, passing through a lot of history (expect the Titanic and tsarist Russia, for one). Enjoy!
