Uncle Scrooge #37 Review

Issue 37 of Uncle Scrooge features the story “Money Is the Root of Upheaval!”, which was originally published in Italian Topolino #911 from 1973, but this is the first time its been published in the USA and has been tweaked to make it more relevant to today.

This issue only includes one story, which sees Uncle Scrooge visit his own personal museum and uncover a long lost Egyptian Pharaoh Mummy, who he accidentally reawakens and with the help of Gyro Gearloose, they travel back in time to help the Pharaoh.

From here, a full Back To The Future moment takes place (which remember this issue was originally written a decade before that movie was released), with the timeline being made wonky, when Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and Gyro return to the present, following some meddling in the past, which gave us a very strange looking future, but still very intriguing.

The future that Scrooge McDuck ended up creating, does show him the error of his ways, though even Donald Duck mentions he’ll be back to his usual self soon enough.

While the artwork is obviously dated, especially when compared to modern Disney comic books, it has that classic feel, which is exactly what classic Disney fans will love and smaller readers will enjoy.

Overall:  A fun time traveling classic Scrooge McDuck adventure that was very enjoyable to read.  A easy recommendation to any Disney fan, especially if you love Back To The Future!
