Marvel Comics is delivering Uncle Scrooge’s first-ever Marvel Comic in June, written by Jason Aaron, and today, we’ve got a bunch of new variant covers to accompany it! Announced back in February, the one-shot will feature artists Paolo Mottura, Francesco D’Ippolito, Vitale Mangiatordi, and more.
“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no disputing the fact that Uncle Scrooge is one of the absolute greatest characters in the history of comics. And I don’t just mean comics that feature talking animals. I mean all comics ever, bar none,” Aaron shared. “Uncle Scrooge’s rich, action-packed history includes some of the most exciting adventure comics ever created, by legendary creators like Carl Barks and Don Rosa. It’s one of the most mind-staggering thrills of my career to get to craft this epic cosmic adventure for the World’s Richest Duck, one that looks to honor the character’s legendary history while taking him to some wild, new, unexplored places in the way that only Marvel can deliver.”
