The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is a comic book story by Don Rosa about Scrooge McDuck.

Originally, the story had twelve chapters totalling 212 pages. Since then, there have been additional chapters, and the original stories have also been slightly expanded and tweaked in later releases.

The story follows the main events of Scrooge's life between 1867 and 1947, including almost all references found in Carl Barks stories about Scrooge's life till 1947 but leaving some room for Rosa and other creators to add more details later. The comic also provides information on the backgrounds and origins of many characters related to Scrooge.

Most of the chapters were released in the United States in issues of Uncle Scrooge, and in many Disney publications in Europe.

Don Rosa earned the Will Eisner Award in 1995 for this work.
