Uncle Scrooge, the Richest Duck in the World, is back―and so are noisy nephew Donald, wunderkinder Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and rascally richnik Flintheart Glomgold! Don Rosa, thanks to his Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics, is among the world’s most beloved contemporary cartoonists. Following in the footsteps of Disney legend Carl Barks, the cartoonist launched his career in 1987, with an exciting, lovingly detailed visual style all his own. Famed for his Eisner Award-winning “Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck,” Rosa is an international fan favorite and drew a whopping two decades’ worth of ripping Scrooge and Donald yarns! We're proud to present his Duck adventures in complete, chronological order for the first time. This volume of comic book stories includes the titular story about Scrooge’s and Flintheart’s epic battle for Inca gold; “Crocodile Collector,” about Donald’s pursuit of a rare reptile; and “Last Sled to Dawson,” Rosa’s sequel to Barks’ classic “Back to the Klondike”―featuring the return of Scrooge’s old flame, Glittering Goldie O’Gilt! “Cash Flow” brings back the Beagle Boys, too!

Fifteen years before the start of the Earth’s third Christian millennium, after a five-thousand-year absence, Antarean space travelers have returned to Earth. After the destruction by the impact of an asteroid, a few islands were all that remained of the continent above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.Before the asteroid’s impact destroyed Antares Quad-Three, they had cocooned and secreted a diplomatic army for future use on Earth. They believed these soldiers and commanders, numbering 941, were secure and safe in a state of suspended animation beneath the sea floor. But, sadly, the Antareans discovered that pollution and ultraviolet radiation had adversely affected the cocoons, making the life they held partially damaged and dangerously vulnerable.On arrival to the destroyed planet, the Antarean presence was discovered by a small group of retired humans. Once discovered, the seniors offered to help the Antareans reseal their damaged cocoons and return them to their underwater chamber, saving the diplomatic army to be revived and awakened in the future. To show their gratitude, the Antarean leaders invited their aged helpers to join them on their Mothership, and thus become Earth’s first deep space travelers. They called themselves the Geriatric Brigade.Cocoon, which was a New York Times bestseller upon its release (and an Academy Award–winning film of the same name), is the amazing beginning of the Cocoon trilogy, which spans twenty years and was a pioneering science fiction novel by David Saperstein that still resonates with audiences today.Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.
