review:
'Uncle Scrooge: The Grand Canyon Conquest' features a variety of stories of miserly Scrooge McDuck trying to save his fortune while also not spending any of it.
In the title story, Scrooge finds out he might have to split his fortune with a former partner's heir. This leads Donald and the boys to Beverly Hills to track down leads in the case, all, of course, at Donald's expense. This leads them to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and even to Disneyland in the course of their adventure. In another story, Scrooge finds a rare coin to complete his collection, which is then inadvertently given to the paperboy as a tip by an old flame who has come visiting on her dilapidated river boat. There are some shorter stories, and some featuring inventor Gyro Gearloose, whom I've always liked.
The art style varies quite a bit, like it has in this series, but it's all pretty good. The main stories feature a classic looking style. Some of the shorter gag stories have a looser style. I enjoyed this selection of stories.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from IDW and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
