Planet Comicon 2025 and the Most Misunderstood Disney Artist in the World

Date: March 23, 2025 Duration: 48m 45s
Planet Comicon 2025 in Kansas City brought out thousands of fans, mind-blowing cosplay, rare collectibles, and massive celebrities like David Tennant, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, and Andy Serkis. But in the middle of the chaos, I stumbled into an experience that completely redefined the trip — a chance to spend real time with one of the most legendary, and most misunderstood, Disney artists of all time. For years, fans around the world have admired Don Rosa, the creator of The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck — an epic comic series that took Disney’s duck universe to a whole new level. But what most people don’t realize is the struggle, the passion, and the unique path that made him one of the most respected, yet underappreciated creators in Disney history. I didn’t just meet him — I got invited to sit in his booth, hang out, and talk comics, life, and everything in between. What unfolded was a genuine, unforgettable moment with a legend — and a story you won’t want to miss. Planet Comicon 2025 ran March 21–23 at the Kansas City Convention Center and featured appearances by stars like Matthew Lillard, Katee Sackhoff, John Rhys Davies, and Amy Jo Johnson. But the real magic of a comic con? It’s the unexpected — and this experience was one for the books. Want to help keep Randomland going and support more adventures like this?
