Congratulations to David Akers for winning the Trvia Contest in The Golden Age of Comic Books fourth annual Christmas episode (Episode #60). In the Trvia Contest, I asked a two part question:
1. What was the title of the comic and the name of the story in which Uncle Scrooge made his second appearance?
David correctly answered that Uncle Scrooge made his second appearance in “The Old Castle’s Secret” in Four Color Comics #189 (June 1948). This appearance was six months after his initial appearance in “Christmas on Bear Mountain”. This story by Barks provided some background into Scrooge’s past.
2. What was the title of the comic and name of the story in which Uncle Scrooge had his first self-titled appearance?
David correctly answered that Uncle Scrooge had his first self-titled adventure (along with Donald and his nephews) in “Only a Poor Old Man” in Four Color Comics #386 (March 1952). This is also known as Uncle Scrooge #1.
Congratulations to David for winning the contest. He will be receiving his very own DC Vintage Super Heroes Calendar!
