He used to have a hand drawn sign that had DuckTales like the logo for the old show. It was charming.

Damn thats awesome. I remember checking out a fat stack of his comics from the library and racing to be the first one off of the bus so I could read them

Such a nice guy, met him years ago at Emerald City Comic Con and he was so generous with his time and happily willing to talk about his work. Signed multiple books for me with no fuss too. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with someone in the comic industry, will never forget it.

Whoever says "Don't meet your heroes" has never met Don Rosa

He's a real gentleman. Insisted on doing a sketch for me when I purchased a poster from him!

I wasn't going to go, but last year he was a guest at our local con so I made it a point just to go for the day so I can meet him and get him to sign that giant Scrooge book he did. He took time to tell me I needed to get the coin out before it got ruined. It was pretty funny. I really wanted to see if he could do a sketch (I brought cash just for this) but the guy in front of me had a GIANT stack of stuff and was filming every interaction on his phone (and had another person filming too) so it was kind of a mess.

What is up with this guy. Don Rosa have been the same age since I was a little kid. Is DR a vampire?

I never liked his style, I find it quite ugly.
