December 20, 2010 - Los Angeles, CA - Join BOOM! as we mark 58 years of everyone's favorite feathered penny-pincher with the milestone UNCLE SCROOGE #400 issue featuring the amazing talents of Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Daan Jippes, and Giorgio Cavazzano! Join us as we pay tribute to the perennial Duckburg cheapskate with an oversized 40-page issue stuffed with classic stories not to be missed — some published in the U.S. for the first time! Shipping with three covers sure to please hardcore and casual fans alike, UNCLE SCROOGE #400 features a Regular Edition wrap-around cover by Don Rosa, a 1-in-10 cover by Daan Jippes, and a Deluxe Edition with cover by Carl Barks!

“The stories you'll find in UNCLE SCROOGE #400 are truly some of the rarest and greatest Scrooge tales ever published,” said BOOM! Marketing Director Chip Mosher. “Fans demanded classic Scrooge tales, and trust me when I say there's no better place to start than UNCLE SCROOGE #400. How can you go wrong with Carl Barks, or Daan Jippes, or any of the amazing creators in this book?! And this is only the beginning. Classics are definitely back at BOOM!”

In this milestone 400th issue, don't miss the incomparable Carl Barks appearing as himself and actually meeting Scrooge McDuck and clan in Duckburg! It’s a heartwarming tribute to Scrooge's creator by modern master Giorgio Cavazzano in “The Duck Man.” Next, watch in awe as the witch, Magica de Spell, finally gets her hands on Scrooge's Number One Dime in the classic story “Obsession,” seeing print in the U.S. for the first time, with art by master artist Daan Jippes! Then delight at three . . . count 'em, three . . . one-page gags by the one and only Carl Barks himself that appeared in the very first issue of Uncle Scrooge — “Osogood Silver Polish,” “Coffee for Two,” and “Soupline Eight.”

In November, BOOM! Studios announced “Classics Are Back at BOOM!” beginning this January.
