Scrooge McDuck Tales FROM THE CRYPTO! COMPARED TO THE TECH WORLD’S BILLIONAIRE INFLUENCERS— especially that up-and-coming blowhard bro, Carsten Dandruff—old-school tycoon Scrooge McDuck might seem out of date. But he’s not going to stay that way! In an all-new feature-length graphic novel by Julien “Jul” Berjeaut and Nicolas Keramidas, Scrooge’s quest to become Duckburg’s king of cryptocurrency is on. And no (literal) duckface or tie-in stunt can be left behind, even when the Beagle Boys turn tech-bros too—and empty Scrooge’s Money Bin in a whirlwind cyberattack! Can Gyro Gearloose help Scrooge save the McDuck millions? Or will Scrooge take a dive in virtual cash without a crash helmet?
