Imagine a universe where the tales of Disney and the action-packed narratives of Marvel comics converge. This June, that imagination leaps from thought to reality as Marvel Comics announces an unprecedented collaboration with Disney, bringing to life a new adventure featuring the iconic Uncle Scrooge. The announcement, made at ComicsPRO, heralds a historic moment in the annals of comic book storytelling.
A Legendary Writer Meets a Legendary Character
At the heart of this pioneering venture is ‘UNCLE $CROOGE AND THE INFINITY DIME 1’, a one-shot comic that promises to blend the whimsical charm of Disney with the thrilling excitement of Marvel’s multiverse. Penned by the acclaimed Jason Aaron, known for his riveting narratives and deep character explorations, the comic is also graced with the artwork of talented artists such as Paolo Mottura and Francesco D’Ippolito. Scheduled for release on June 19th, this comic marks the first time Marvel has ventured into publishing Disney content, setting a precedent for future storytelling possibilities.
Jason Aaron’s enthusiasm for tackling a character as storied as Uncle Scrooge is palpable. He regards Scrooge McDuck as one of the greatest characters in the comic book domain, a sentiment echoed by fans and historians who cite the character’s rich, action-packed history and the legendary creators like Carl Barks and Don Rosa who have contributed to its legacy. Aaron’s story follows Scrooge McDuck on a Marvel-style multiverse adventure to thwart an alternate version of himself from becoming the all-powerful Scrooge-Above-All. This narrative not only honors Scrooge McDuck’s legendary history but also injects new dynamics and characters into the lore, promising a fresh yet familiar experience for readers.

The comic doesn’t just spotlight Uncle Scrooge; it brings into the fold characters like Donald Duck, his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and the inventive Gyro Gearloose. These additions ensure the story remains grounded in the Disney universe, even as it ventures into the sprawling multiverses characteristic of Marvel stories.
