Working on it! I'll make thapage in Norwegian first, and translate it to
English. One problem is that I don't have too many of the stories in English,
so I hope what I find in the Norwegian translation is the same as the
original.

I am. I'm looking for a copy of the "Donald Duck & Co", but it's (supposed
to have)
been summer here, so all copies are gone. I'll find what you're looking for
some day.

Well, that was a tough one!
I have to name at least 10 stories which are my favorites, all Barks of

Kite Weather WDC 42
The Long Race to Pumpkinburg WDC 54
Spoil the Rod WDC 92
Mission to Codfish Cove WDC 114
The Screaming Cowboy WDC 137
Red Apple Sap WDC 205
Spring Cleaning WDC 213
Luck of the North FC 256
The Christmas Cha Cha DG 26
The Titanic Ants DD 60
The Golden Fleecing U$ 12
and of course - good ol' Milkman WDC?/1957
Well, this came up to 12 favorites, I could name more - there are so
many good stories which I go back to again and again. It's difficult to
explain why exactly these stories are favorites, they just are!
Which one(s) are your favorite(s), Anders Christian? I'll bet you have

Regarding religion in Duckburg, there is also of course the stories dealing
with the celebration of different holidays. This would be:
- Christmas (innummerable stories) Lots of references to Santa Claus
- Halloween (a few stories)
- Easter (one story that I can remember)
But just like "The Phantom of Notre Duck" there is absolutely no religion
in these stories apart from the fact that Duckburg celebrates these
holidays. The stories are very secular indeed! Look at "Letter to Santa" CP 1!
BTW, where in Norway are you from Vidar?

Hello
I hope there are a Egmont-people here...
The pages they set up are great, but I never
got to write an idea in the mail box. Did it
actually ever work? Well, I suppose, because
they have shut it now, because there were
thousands of mails...
Well, my Idea to the publishers are: re-publish
all the Daisy's diary series that have not been
seen in the last 8 years, maybe the Grandma-
stories too (I meen the ones wirth art by Barks)
Maybe they are not the best of hia works but I
would like to see them.

would yo please tell us, how many pages your edition of Mythtic Mystery
has?
The 3 times it has been published in Denmark (Little country up north!)
it has had 14 pages, except in 1987 where to panels were cut.
FRANCOIS
I like your name too. Thanks for the information. I'm hoping to get a
Picsou Magzine from a class mate, who's in France at the moment.
I was just asking if Don's great story Cash Flow (AR 106) was in it.
At least the Beagle Boys (Rapetou) have those two guns in their hands.
I have the sane story in a german album (no. 10)
CLAUDIO
Thank you so very vey much much for those search results.
BTW the story in WDC 171 had excactly the panel with Gyro
hammering himself on the head, that I remembered and saw
someplace. For those who want a look for them selves it's page 6
panel 1 in the story WDC 171-03 (Too safe safe) BTW what is
the Cinderella-cat Lucifer doing in that story? Jaque and Gus have
also appeared in a Barks-story haven't they?
PAOLO
Thanks for the list; seems there are a lot Rosa, Barks and some
Mickey-stories. I would have voted for Christmas in Schacktown
(just to say one), it's a great sad story with a happy end.
Those panels with the kids make me cry!
BIRTHE

in Schacktown. I haven't read all Barks stories yet, but
both him and Rosa has a good place on the bookshelves

Dear folks,
My favorite story is the Barks tale "Fountain of Young".
I hope this is the correct english story name. Maybe it=B4s the
dream of every person to get immortality and to lost this
because you havn=B4t pay 40 dollars for the land. I like most this
story of that sarcasm. But I think it=B4s hard stuff to
ask of the favorite story. Ask later I maybe prefer another
story.(Don Rosa too).

Quoting from "The Road to Cibola", the introduction written by Thomas
Andrae and Geoffrey Blum in U$ 217:
Carl Barks' tale of the Seven Cities combines both legend and
history. His interest in Cibola was sparked by a visit to his friend
Al Koch, manager of the Riverside County Welfare office in Indio,
California. Koch was an authority on local Indian tribes and told Barks
of an old indian trail near Thousand Palms. Barks explored the trail
and decided to use it as a vehicle for setting the Ducks on the road
to Cibola. As a form of acknowledgement, he drew Koch into the story,
kicking the Beagle Boys out of his welfare office.

Most likely. After all, Barks *had* been there before Don. The
implications however are unsettling: Would Barks have defaced an ancient
book just to prove he had been there? I think not. Don?
;-)
> or perhaps

Unlikely, as it is quite obviously a different book that contains the
information (the one that a nephew is carrying to the table, rather than
the one already on the table).

Hi, everyone!
Nice interview with Don Rosa...if I could read Norwegian! :-( My grandma could, 60
years ago! Wah! Someone has got to come up with a universal translator like they have
on Star Trek!
Now then, about my favorite comic book story:
Aw, gee, that's no fair to make me pick just one! Boo hoo! I can't do it!
My first impulse as a Rosa aficionado/Goldie-obsessed fan would be to say "Hearts of the
Yukon". The plot, the suspense, the grand scale, the historical references, the superb
art, the romance, the torture of an ending... Marvelous!
But I would be doing a great disservice to comichood if I neglected my other favorites.
Life of Scrooge, of course, is classic. I've lost count of how many times I've read
it. And "A Little Something Special" should be re-named "Something Great Big and
Colossally Special" ;-) "Son of the Sun" is breathtaking... There are too many great
stories to choose from!!!
For a favorite Barks story, I would be equally hard-pressed to make a choice. Possibly
"The Land Beneath the Ground." I adore those Terries and Fermies! But then, "So Far No
Safari" "The Second-Richest Duck" and "The Money Champ" are so great, too. Flinty is so
much fun. And don't get me started on *ahem* "Back to the Klondike".
And there tons of good stories by other authors, too!
AAH! My brain is melting! I can't decide! I love them all!
Excuse me. I need to go take a nap.
