Certainly he was inspired by Carl Barks as well, But Don has done some brilliant stories.<BR>
I think his The Guardians of the Lost Library is a brilliant story.<BR>

Obviously this is just your opinion, but I think you are in the minority for Disney Comic Readers.<BR>
Every single comic story about Uncle Scrooge has to be partially credited to Carl Barks for creating the character. But I have seen many Scrooge stories where the story is <B><U>poor</B></U>. Carl Barks and Don Rosa included. But both Carl and Don have far surpassed the bad with the good.<BR>
S?ren, Did you actually read the Life and Times Scrooge book?<BR>
It is great.<BR>
The art is Don's own style and while not as smooth as some artists, it is far better than many Disney Duck artists who followed Carl Barks.<BR>
Carl Barks set a standard too high for anyone. <BR>
It was always disappointing as a kid to see Scrooge stories after Carl retired.<BR>
Not until Don Rosa did Son of the Sun did I really enjoy U. Scrooge stories again.<BR>
S?ren, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, even in this case, when it is wrong.<BR>
