In Romano Scarpa's "Taking the Plunge," a South American resort trip is no vacation for Scrooge...not when it involves bungee-jumping, battling the Beagle Boys, and taming a savage ram! Then in "That Small Feeling," Gyro Gearloose meets the witch doctor - and gets his head shrunk before you can say ooh-ee-ooh-ah-ah! "The Saga of the Debit and Credit Ledger" finds Donald trying to win Scrooge's favor on a stormy coastline treasure hunt. And in "Body Swap," Scrooge trades brains with sorceress Magica De Spell!

Charles Alfred Taliaferro was born in Montrose, Colorado on August 29, 1905 and moved with his family to Glendale, California in 1918. "I knew I was going to be a cartoonist," he told interviewer Jim Korkis in 1968. "I've always believed that if you want anything bad enough and you work hard enough for it, eventually you'll get it. " In the middle of the Great Depression in 1931 he learned that the Walt Disney Studio had jobs available. "I went in and was hired on the spot: January 5, 1931," he recalled. At first he inked Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse newspaper strip. He then went on to draw the Silly Symphonies Sunday page, where on September 16, 1934 he first drew Donald Duck, the character with whom he would become forever associated. Abramo and Giampaolo Barosso were Italian comics writers best know for their work on classic Disney characters like Donald Duck and his Uncle Scrooge throughout the 1960s and 70s. Abramo passed away in 2013, followed by his brother in 2014. Massimo Fecchi is an Italian comic artist best known for drawing Fix and Foxi and for his work on Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the Big Bad Wolf. After sustaining a wildly prolific career, Scarpa retired in Spain, leaving behind a grand legacy for younger Disney writers and artists, such as Giorgio Cavazzano. Carl Barks (1901-2000) spent most of his life in Oregon. One of the most brilliant cartoonists of the 20th century, Barks has entertained millions around the world with his timeless tales of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. In 1987, he was one of the three inaugural inductees in the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame (along with Eisner and Jack Kirby).
