Carl Barks or Keno Don Rosa ?


I thought this was the proper place to ask this question, which Scrooge or Donald's adventures do you most enjoy?

It's a very difficult question to answer for me because Barks is the pioneer, and he paved the way to Don Rosa, he created Scrooge, Gyro, the Beagle Boys, Magica de Spell, Flintheart Glomgold etc. and all the stories that contributed to Don Rosa's greatest achievement : the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.

Yet, even Don Rosa managed to create a personal oeuvre from this already rich universe, and proved capable to be a master of storytelling, of such scientific precision that his stories are always worth being read a second time just to spot the funny details.

His stories get a bit complex, or melodramatic at times and full of so many information that I often miss Bark's simplicity, but when you look at them, Don Rosa's stories are real masterpieces of creation and imagination.

I guess I'll have to go with Don Rosa. And you?

I like them both equally. Don Rosa's style just really enhances everything Carl Barks laid out.
