Description
This wonderful illustration by Don Rosa, which was published in its colored version in the Picsou Magazine No. 384 in 2004, is a tribute to the story 'A Cold Bargain', first released in 1957 by Carl Barks, which satirizes the ongoing arms race between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The fictional state of Brutopia (obviously an acronym of 'brutal' and 'Dystopia') has its first appearance here. It is represented by a brutopian diplomat, who is meant to commemorate Nikita Khrushchev, who has been in charge of the Soviet Union since 1955 (#shoe).
In the very same story, Uncle Scrooge buys in an auction a previously unknown element named Bombastium, the rarest element on earth, extracted from the Mandragora Mines in the Belgian Congo, for 1 trillion Dollars and 6 refrigerators (Brutopia had offered 1 trillion Dollars and all (5) refrigerators of its people 😊)
When Scrooge McDuck finds out about the element's sensitivity to heat, he and his family set off on a journey into the eternal ice to save the bombastium from destruction and the brutopian enemy…

A propos de Don Rosa
Keno Don Hugo Rosa est un auteur de comics (bandes dessinées américaines). Il s'est spécialisé dans les aventures des personnages de Donald Duck et de son univers : Donaldville, en portant une attention toute particulière au personnage de Balthazar Picsou, auquel il a créé une série retraçant sa jeunesse, qui lui a valu plusieurs prix.
Il s'est démarqué de ses collègues avec un style scénaristique plus mûr et un style graphique fourmillant de détails comiques. Ses récits sont un hommage constant à l'œuvre de Carl Barks (1901-2000), qu'il explique, complète et prolonge.
