Intro Post

I loved Uncle Scrooge comics as a young kid and had collections of Don Rosa's and Carl Barks's works, but I had to rely on what was available in comic shops and bookstores in the USA. Recently, I started exploring more of the Italian comics through German reprints in LTBs (the Lustiges Taschenbuch series) and it feels great to have access to so many stories I never knew about as a child!

Pretty much anything I've translated here will be from LTBs or related German series. I also won't translate everything 100% literally. Instead, I'll try to capture how I remember the tone of the comics. I'm fairly new to scanlating and I'm learning as I go, so definitely send any questions or corrections my way.

A Scanlation of "Caught Cold in the Klondike"

Here's a translation of a fun comic in which Miss Quackfaster gets her due and Scrooge is humiliated! This was a real undertaking for me to scanlate, especially because of all the times I had to repaint background details and sound effects. I learned a lot in the process!

A Scanlation of "Little Helper Lost"

"Little Helper Lost" is a wonderful comic about Little Helper (who I loved as a kid) ending up separated from Gyro in a far-off time and having to find a way back. The comic was created as part of a series that honored Carl Barks and is well-loved, but I don't think it's ever been republished for readers in the USA. This is my English translation of a German printing. Its German title actually means, "Little Helper: Lost in the Future" but I decided to go with the title the story is usually known by. There isn't much text in this comic as it's mostly dialogue-less, but I had a lot of fun translating it!
