> I just read the "The Last Lords of Eldorado" and boyobyoby, was it great!!

I just received the Danish version (thanks, Ole!) but I can't read it.
From looking at the pictures, I can say it *looks* like a good story.

What struck me was the *cover* that was on the Danish version! That
looks very good, almost like a Marco Rota cover!
Then I realised that Don did not make this cover himself; the editor
constructed it from various panels from the story. With a very good
result (maybe even better than when Don *had* made a cover...8-)

Are there *original* stories currently *produced* par Fleetway for this

They couldn't pronounce it, the "u" doesn't exist in English. In
English, "u" is "ou" and "ou" is nothing (is that clear?).

Hi folks,

I have now dug out my copy of "Donaldus Anas atque nox Saraceni" and can
add two things to my last post:

a) the address of the ELI: European Language Institute, P.O. Box 6, 62019
Recanati, Italia (as of 1984)

b) the following text/list, reproduced here without any diacritics, accents
etc.:

Collectio "Disney Lingua Latina" complectitur X volumina, quorum iam edita
sunt:

I. Donaldus Anas atque nox Saraceni
II. Michael Musculus et lapis sapientiae
III. Donaldus Anas et actiones fiduciae
IV. Scrugulus et Radius contra Procellam

(taken from the back of the volume; meaning: the series "Disney in Latin"
will upon completion consist of 10 volumes, the following of which are
already published:)

That's all for now.

Best regards, Frank

It wasn't, I even doubt if Barks made a detailed pencilled script of it.
Maybe someone in contact with him can ask? (If the time is right for that
of course.) At this moment I'm working on a page on lost / unpublished
Barks works, so such information is *very* welcome!

Please contact me if you can help me.

If it's not already published in the hardcover CBL, I certainly would
like to have it!

Why did Barks never make a painting of the lost "Mythtic Mystery" half-
page overview on Duckburg? Wouldn't that be a marvelous painting?

Greetings,

--- Daniel

>Please excuse this un-mailing-list type posting, but I was wondering whether
>some kind soul could tell me where I might buy pre-1975 editions of The
>Phantom Blot. I'm particularly interested in "The Case of the Disappearing

I don't know how or where you might find these two stories. I do, however,
own 6 of the 7 Phantom Blot issues (missing #5), and several of the WDC&S
Blot stories.

The Phantom Blot's origin has seen reprint numerous times: "Mickey Mouse
Outwits the Phantom Blot") And "the Case of the Disnappearing Dianmonds"
Appeared as a story in the 7th (and final) issue of "The Phantom Blot's" If
there
is anything about either of these two stories I might be able to tell you,
let me

Thanks for the suggestion Chris!

For all of the ML members who might not be able to find an appropriate card
that expresses your thoughts let's try this plan also....

Privately E-mail me your birthday greetings and I'll package them up along
with the cards and send them off to Carl! Remember...March 10 is the
deadline

And why, oh why, would anyone dredge this matter up again, especially in a
worldwide forum?

Until now, the contents of that booklet were known mostly to only the direct
recipients. Now it can be spread electronically all over the globe, and
taken out of context, as the posters comments prove. All sorts of
allegations were made and *ALL* of them had to be retracted, as none were
true. It is not simply that Don *claimed* they were false -- no witnesses
at that crowded public event could be produced to substantiate the CB Studio
allegations.

I knew that if anyone started looking into and offering opinions on the
present difficulty between Mr. Barks and his former associates we would wind
up regurgitating old news as people "best remember it," which is almost
always incorrectly so.

Why is it that people who claim to admire someone so often manage to cast
them in a bad light?

I almost never post to this list, but always enjoy reading the insightful
comments on the stories and characters. Hollywood-style gossip turns me
off, though, and prompts me to make a little noise. I recommend that if
anyone wants to turn the pages of time back a couple of years, they can at
least post facts, not innuendo and unproven slander.
