How I’d Run an Album-Based Comics Career
How can a comics creator in North America pattern a career to be closer to the Franco-Belgian album-based model? I have some thoughts…
DRL: “Attaaaaaack!” (2000)
Donald gets Gyro’s early warning system to help Uncle Scrooge defend the Money Bin, but winds up blowing it up, instead.
DRL: “Forget It!” (2002)
Magica is back and her latest spell is a wicked one, causing temporary amnesia for a character right after their name is said. The results are comedic gold.
DRL: “The Coin” (1999)
Scrooge loses a coin and readers follow the bouncing coin through Duckburg from the coin’s point of view.
DRL: “A Matter of Some Gravity” (1996)
Magica de Spell returns and turns gravity on its side in her latest quest to steal Scrooge’s Number One Dime. Can Scrooge and Donald fight their way back and stop her before it’s too late?!?
DRL: “On Stolen Time” (1991)
The Beagle Boys have a stop watch that stops time and, as you might imagine, are using it to pilfer from the Money Bin. How will Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews stop them?
DRL: “Metaphorically Spanking” (1988)
Huey, Dewey, and Louie give themselves a day off from school, but find it difficult to avoid their Uncle Donald from catching them. Things escalate quickly.
DRL: “The Duck Who Fell to Earth” (1991)
Scrooge’s latest business venture takes him into low earth orbit to collect garbage before it returns to earth. But he forgot to take one bit of science into account…
Wait, Which Way Is It?
You can’t have it both ways, can you?
DRL: “On a Silver Platter” (1990)
Magica’s teleporting platter leads to a battle of wills — not to mention cannonballs, birds, foof bombs, and fire extinguishers — as Scrooge goes all out to get his Number One Dime back.
