The richest duck on Earth? The saga of Scrooge McDuck

The Scrooge McDuck saga that's driving Topolino readers wild 🦆💰

What would happen if the richest duck in the world was suddenly cornered?
And what if everything he had built in a lifetime was at risk of disappearing?

It is precisely from these questions that one of the most curious and discussed sagas recently published in Topolino begins, dedicated to the legendary Scrooge McDuck, better known in Italy as Zio Paperone.

The series is titled “Scrooge McDuck, the Most Powerful Duck on Earth” and has a peculiarity that immediately captured readers' attention:
to read it, you have to… turn the magazine upside down.

A story to read… in reverse

The episodes of the saga were published in the weekly Topolino with a flip-cover, a special cover that introduces a story printed "in reverse" compared to the rest of the magazine.

Basically, you reach the end of the magazine, turn it upside down… and the adventure begins.

A small editorial trick that transformed reading into a real experience for fans.

The four chapters of the saga

The story was published between late 2025 and early 2026 in four issues of the magazine:

• Topolino no. 3653
  “The Beginning of the End” – The first episode immediately throws readers into chaos.
• Topolino no. 3659
  “Scrooge’s Darkest Day” – A day that could change everything.
• Topolino no. 3662
  “One Step from the End” – Tension rises and the fate of Scrooge’s empire seems to hang by a thread.
• Topolino no. 3666
  “The Treasure of a Lifetime” – The final chapter that concludes the saga.

Why collectors are talking about it so much

This mini-series has attracted attention not only for the story, but also for its particular editorial format.

Stories with flip-covers in Topolino are not very frequent, and when they do happen, they immediately become small collector's items for enthusiasts.

In addition, the saga focuses on the most iconic character in the Disney universe:
the duck who built his fortune with ingenuity, adventure, and a good dose of stubbornness.

Is it worth picking up?

If you're a fan of Disney comics or simply love Scrooge stories, this saga has all the right ingredients:

• mystery
• tension
• an unusual reading format
• and of course, mountains of coins in the Money Bin.

And let's face it: when it comes to Scrooge McDuck, curiosity is always just around the corner.

Because in the end, there's only one real question left:

can anyone truly be more powerful than the richest duck in the world?
