Description
ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE — AND SORCERY! The World’s Richest Duck didn’t accumulate his uncountable kajillions by being anyone’s fool — and no one is more foolish than a fool in love! So when February 14th rolls around and the unsolicited cards and presents from charlatans and two-timers start piling up on his desk, Scrooge McDuck has multiple levels of precautions in place to neutralize all of their nefarious schemes. One age-old adversary, however, has forged a plan to bypass all of the McDuck Money Bin’s famed defenses and secure the ultimate prize: Uncle Scrooge’s precious Number One Dime! The indefatigable Magica De Spell just needs to get close enough to Scrooge to cloud his mind with the rare Forget-Me-Do flower. But when the single-minded sorceress is caught in the same memory-fogging spell as her quarry, all bets are off — and romance is suddenly in the air! Having forgotten their long history of enmity, could these rival ducks turn into cooing love birds? Find out in the rose-colored pages of the DuckTales Valentine’s Day Special 2026, written by Stitch co-authors CONNOR RATLIFF and JAMES III and lovingly illustrated by LIBERO ERMETTI! This heartfelt 40-page one-shot also features a Cupid’s quiver’s worth of covers from ERMETTI, NICOLETTA BALDARI, CIRO CANGIALOSI, and STEFANO PORCU!
