Page "Don Rosa" Paragraph 13

In 1986, he discovered a Gladstone Publishing comic book.

This was the first American comic book that contained Disney characters since the 1970s.

Since early childhood Don Rosa had been fascinated by Carl Barks ' stories about Donald Duck and Scrooge McDuck.

Artist Carl Barks was an especially big idol for him and would remain so for the rest of his career.

He immediately called the editor, Byron Erickson, and told him that he was the only American who was born to write and draw one Scrooge McDuck adventure.

Byron agreed to let him send a story, and Don Rosa started drawing his first Duck story: Son of the Sun the very next day.
