Keno Don Rosa
NOTE:
Three reasons to love Don Rosa
Don Rosa at a Glance
Keno Don Hugo Rosa (generally just called Don Rosa) (born June 29, 1951) is an American comic book writer and illustrator best known for his stories about Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and other Disney characters. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. His most famous work is The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which is now out of print due to licensing issues. Recently however it has been announced that after years of high demand, the book is to be reprinted in three volumes, the first with a tentative release date of February 2010.
The World's Greatest Author!
Ask me who the world's greatest author of all time is, and you'll always get the same answer: Don Rosa. This always brings about one of two responces:1.) Either you know who Don Rosa is and you too think he is the greatest author this world has ever seen.
or
2.) You ask: Who is Don Rosa? Because you have never heard of him.
Don Rosa is a niche writer with a close knit following of fans for his cult classic stories. For his fans he's the greatest thing snce Carl Barks, but for the rest of the world he is practicly unknown.
If you are a fellow fan, than you know what he wrote and you know why he's the best, but for the rest of you, go out and get one of his books and find out who he is. This recommendation is usually followed by this responce:
You go out, you look up Don Rosa, you get ready to buy his books, and than you say: "Huh? But this is a comic book! How can the world's greatest author be a comic book writer?". You than scouer the bookshelves in search of some non-comic book books by Don Rosa thinking you must have made a mistake when you picked up the comic book. Nope, sorry, no mistake. Yep, Don Rosa writes comic books and yep he is the world's greatest author.
But how can that be? Well, have you ever read one of Don Rosa's comic books? These are not your average dinky little 12 page dime store comics that have no rhyme nor reason to them. His most famous book, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, is a whopping 219 page long! It'll take you a few days to read it. There are no bloodspattered pages, no aliens, no super heroes, no super villiains. What you find is an action packed, adventure filled book that reads like a book, but also has a lot of pictures in it as well...and as the word comic means, it's down right funny.
I dare you to read a book by Don Rosa and not get hooked. Don Rosa's books are like chips: no one can read just one!
