    The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is really great (art and storytelling-wise) but it’s uhhh, basically a chronicle of colonial exploitation and resource extraction (Scrooge even gets cursed for his capitalist crimes). My favorite part is probably the Yukon gold rush story.

      That episode where Scrooge gets cursed is also super racist, although that’s in keeping with the original Carl Barks comics which were also very racist.
