Weighing in at over 240 pages, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is, to the best of our knowledge, the longest single continuous comics story featuring a Disney character ever produced (if we're wrong, please let us know).  Authored by Don Rosa, the primary American (there are others in Europe) heir to the legacy of Carl Barks, the series was originally produced in the early 1990s for Gladstone Comics and is here collected in a single volume for the first time for the American market.  Based on the hints dropped by Barks during his seventy-issue tenure on Uncle Scrooge, and inspired by SF author Jack Chalker's Informal Biography of Scrooge McDuck (which was similarly based on the Barks legacy), The Life and Times is a loving tribute to Barks's most famous creation.
