DisneyDevotee Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Just joined to forums, and decided to start here. I've loved Donald and Scrooge for a long time. They are some of my favorite charcters of all time, and I've recently decided that I want to work on the Uncle Scrooge run as much as possible. I know my books are rough compared to some of the beautiful copies shared here, but I got the #15, first Flintheart Glomgold, for $6 and the #198 for $1.

I don't have a list but I'm just about certain that I've seen one in the past few years. Maybe in one of the paperback books on Barks? If I can track it down, I'll post it. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyDevotee Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Can the more knowledgeable Duck collectors help me fill in some of my research notes? I know Scrooge's first cover was FC #379, correct? What was his second and third? Any notable appearances/cover appearances between his first appearance and US #1? And what are some of the noteable one shots? I've done a fair amount of looking things up, and I'm slowly going through this thread adding to my notes, but that will take some time. Outside of the above listed, I'm working on joting down first appearances of Disney/Looney Tunes characters, so if someone can direct me to a proper thread or help me here that would also be helpful!

Welcome! While I own some high grade ducks I also own a few beaters so don't feel self-conscious. We love talking about Barks, his art, and the stories in addition to showing off our favorite books regardless of their condition. My collection runs the gambit from low grade to high and I love them all! For Looney Tunes stuff, look at this thread.

Outside of the above listed, I'm working on joting down first appearances of Disney/Looney Tunes characters, so if someone can direct me to a proper thread or help me here that would also be helpful! I now believe that the chronology is this: * Vacation Parade 2 (July 1951) - 1st Cover Appearance (cameo crowd shot) * FC 353 (Oct. 1951) - 2nd Cover Appearance (cameo), 1st on cover by Barks * FC 379 (March-April 1952) - 3rd Cover Appearance, 1st time featured on Cover * FC 386 (March 1952) - 4th Cover Appearance; 2nd by Barks, 2nd featured * WDC&S 140 (May 1952) - 5th Cover Appearance, 3rd by Barks, 3rd featured, 1st on title,1st by Barks on WDC&S Which just goes to illustrate that you should be skeptical of what the auction houses say. For example, Heritage states: "Only a Poor Old Man is the first Uncle Scrooge solo story, Scrooge's first cover appearance, and the book that counts as Uncle Scrooge #1" https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/four-color-386-uncle-scrooge-dell-1952-cgc-nm-94-off-white-to-white-pages/a/825-44210.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515&tab=ArchiveSearchResults-012417 The first two representations are both wrong. FC 386 is also not the first Scrooge solo story or even the first story without Donald Duck. Uncle Scrooge had a previous solo story and guested in a non-DD story (neither were by Barks). For notable one-shots after FC 386 (US 1), the best I'd say is FC 456 (US 2).

My collection runs the gambit from low grade to high and I love them all! Completely agree. I have mid-grade reading copies of my favorite stories, of which FC 263 is, for me, the tops Barks DD to have. I also have some books that are so high grade (top of Census best in existence) that I'm uncomfortable owning them and looking to sell. To replace them I buy slightly lower grade copies that present really well so I can put them on display (e.g. 8.0 - 9.0).
