Absolument superbe est d'une richesse incroyable !
La V.O est géniale, avec les accents américains et écossais hyper prononcés.
Cette édition est très luxueuse et les commentaires de Don Rosa entre chaque épisode sont le point final d'une jolie pièce de collection.
A compléter par le tome 1 et le companion sinon rien !

The art is masterfully done but the stories lack a certain spark that Carl Barks infused making his tales memorable more than half a century later. As I wrote in my first review Rosa's technical proficiency and scrupulous research of Barks facts are undeniably awesome and earned him a well deserved Eisner award but in comparing Rosa to Banks I have to give the nod to Banks. In my opinion the second half of volume two is the best part of the entire series as Scrooge McDuck becomes a full fledged greedy bastard. Not a fun loving greedy bastard but a truly miserable miser. After years of people envying and often attempting to steal his money Scrooge descends into a pit of seething beak gritting anger. His greed eventually chases away his entire family leaving him in a Citizen Cain level of loneliness and even when he reaches his goal of being the richest duck on earth he can only celebrating alone. It is this level of character depth that catapulted Scrooge McDuck to become arguably the most phenomenally popular Disney character of all time (particularly overseas). McDuck is the most multifaceted of the old time Disney characters having actual emotional problems. Of course the book can't end on such a bleak note and in the final story the elderly Scrooge reunites with nephew Donald and meets his three grand nephews.
Boom! has given the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck the star treatment with two beautifully bound hardback books, lovely printing and a very nice paper stock. Just as in volume one each of the six chapters concludes with some awesome commentary by Don Rosa giving his thoughts on his creative process. These last about four to six pages per issue and really add quite a bit to the experience. When I wrote my review of volume one I said that the stories just weren't as memorable as the classic Banks stories and looking back now from about half a year in the future I maintain that opinion. What Don Rosa has created is a meticulously produced chronology of Scrooge McDuck that visually exceeds what Barks produced but lacks much of Barks whimsy, magic and modest desire to just entertain.
I already own "The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck, Vol. 1," so having Vol. 2 was for me a necessity since I wanted to see how the saga ended. Both volumes flesh out anecdotes Scrooge referred to in Barks' original stories down through the years, and Don Rosa brings them vividly to life in a style that closely resembles that of Barks himself.
These two books are an absolute "must-have" for any serious Donald Duck/Scrooge McDuck fan - I highly recommend them both.
Volume 2 continues with Scrooge's quest to get rich. When we last saw him, he was in Africa and had just encountered Flintheart Glomgold for the first time, and made the guy pay dearly for what he'd done. I won't spoil anything aside from the obvious, but this volume covers Scrooge's time spent as a gold prospector, and we finally see him strike it big. At the same time, we see that tough duck begin to lose his humanity. Where Scrooge once would gladly help anyone in need, it's almost a chore for him to help people, even in the beginning of this book (it only gets worse later on). The rest of the book is full of Scrooge building his empire, including making Duckburg the city we all know in the DuckTales cartoon and other Duck comics I'm sure. A couple of old enemies return as well, and the final two chapters of this book are easily the most emotional.
Each chapter is divided by notes from Rosa, including how characters and dates fit in with Carl Barks' original stories. There are a few things that don't match up perfectly, as Rosa seems almost apologetic about, but honestly it shouldn't matter given the story he's produced. I enjoyed reading these notes, like how important it was to establish that Scrooge's Number One Dime wasn't a lucky charm like a couple of characters suggested. And while I'm usually against censorship, I easily understood why Rosa changed the appearance of black characters from Barks' stories.
Reading that last page of Scrooge's story made me feel empty inside, because I didn't want it to end. I'll be ordering the Companion very soon, of course, but I just want more! But as I've said in my review for the first volume- these are the first Scrooge comics I've ever read. And yet, they're not even by the guy who created Scrooge...the guy who made Don Rosa WANT to draw Scrooge and tell stories about the character. I can only imagine how great those will be when I get to them.
The art work is excellent, the books of high quality and his imaginative stories tie Scrooge's life together. His books are suitable for both children and aging fans (like myself) about Uncle Scrooge and his nephew, Donald and I highly recommend both books.
