Carl [1] had just populated my childhood with beautiful memories and stories, he's the author of 'uncle' Scrooge McDuck along with others like; Duckburg, Gyro Gearloose and Magica.
Donald, their nephews and Scrooge were introduced by my father, which is a comic lover, like me, and in my youth he always bought every month a couple of comics from the "McDuck" universe. When we was on trip to Brazil, I knew that he would bring some special versions of Fethry [3] tales, which I still have. Then, in the later 80's there was DuckTales [2] that aired on RTP Disney Show, which I followed religiously. Still now I buy some stories now and then, but some are just new translations and only a few are really new to the public (me). Also, it's awkward to see now that the youngsters don't know the McDuck tales, which they consider too childish for their needs - hey, they've got internet & porn, how could they be blamed? Now (2005), Don Rosa [4] had mapped the story and life of Scrooge [5], following Carl's storyboard, which are quite fabulous. I hope to introduce the McDuck tales and my collection to my daughter when she'll be older enough to understand them.
