Uncle Scrooge Levels Up With New Marvel Miniseries ‘Earth’s Mightiest Duck’

Jason Aaron created something unique and, probably more important to the business side of things, best-selling, with Uncle Scrooge & The Infinity Dime for Marvel Comics. And now he’s back at it again with the four-issue miniseries Uncle Scrooge: Earth’s Mightiest Duck.

Written by Aaron, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Mahmud Asrar, and Ciro Cangialosi, Earth’s Mightiest Duck will find the planet (presumably including Duckburg) under attack by aliens called the Connoisseurs. As they travel the planet stealing the most precious treasure they can find, you might be able to intuit what brings them into conflict with the money-hoarding, lucky dime loving Uncle Scrooge.

“Scrooge McDuck is one of the greatest heroes in the history of comics, bar none,” Aaron said via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “It was a thrill to get to write him in the pages of Uncle Scrooge & the Infinity Dime, as we took him on a journey across the multiverse. With this new series, I knew we’d have to go bigger, not just by incorporating more Marvel artists into the mix, but by sending Scrooge on the most epic story of his career, as he fights to save the one thing more precious to him than gold or any exotic treasure: his own memories of a life of adventure.”

Uncle Scrooge: Earth’s Mightiest Duck #1 hits stores on August 13. You can check out the covers and solicit info for the first two issues, below.
