Uncle Scrooge #384 – Comic Review

UncleScrooge_384_CVR_A It’s been a while since I did a review and I’m stepping back in a time a little with this one.

I’ve always kind of like Donald Duck’s cranky Uncle Scrooge. He’s got a sarcastic streak but a soft heart. Boom Kids has brought back a lot of the magic of years gone by with the reintroduction of Uncle Scrooge to their line up. Boom Kids is pulling out all the stops with Disney based comics. They got the franchise for the pixar properties Toy Story, Monsters, Inc, Cars and the Incredibles. Now they are following that up with Uncle Scrooge, Walt Disney Comics and Mickey Mouse. All of which bring back lots of great memories.

The story is simple, clean, fun and enjoyable by kids and parents. There are two stories in this book. The first starts off with Scrooge, his nephew Donald heading off to Germany with Huey, Dewey and Louie, of a search for missing treasure in a haunted castle. Scrooge’s long time foe, Magica Da Spell, tries to beat him to it.

The second, which takes place immediately following the first, sees Scrooge, Donald and the boys heading off to Poland searching for a hidden laboratory that belong to an apprentice of Copernicus.

Is it Right for Kids? Sure is. This comic is a fun easy read for kids of all ages. In true Disney comic tradition, the story isn’t scary but has an element of of it. It allows anyone from 3 and up to enjoy the story.
