Hi,
I was wondering if one of the Finnish members would be ready to send me
the Donald Duck issue with the new Rosa cover, in exchange for a Picsou
magazine issue (for example) ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
ARCHONTIS:

> advertises a Scarpa story for its next issue, but the Greek
> title ("Gone with the Wind") doesn't ring a bell.
I was going mad, since I recall well that story, but I couldn't
find it in my Topolino index... in fact it's from "Almanacco
Topolino":
On AT#255 from 1978 there is "Zio Paperone... via col vinto" a
sort of pun with "Gone with the wind", in Italian "vento" (=wind)
is very similar to "vinto" (=won, referred to *****SPOILER*****
the prize US gets at the end of the story).
Surely not one of Scarpa's best performances, justified by the
story being one of those S-coded written in the USA.... hey then
in the USA the character of Brigitta (created by Scarpa) was
already popular to include in a script?? Or maybe Scarpa
introduced her by himself?

You're not alone, Dean. You've pretty much described how I have felt about the whole sorry situation that we
have watched develop over the last year and a half. I too await word concerning the future of Disney comics
here in America.
Recently, to make up for the lack of new Disney comics, I have resorted to Ebay to fill the gaps in my
collection of Uncle Scrooge. The online auctions command high prices for some comics, but bargains for others.
Between Ebay, Bear Mountain, the San Diego Comicon, this mailing list, and of course, the comics themselves,
Barks and Rosa tales live on. But, damn, we sure have lost a lot with the demise of Gladstone. I know I speak
for many of us when I say, "we sure do miss them."

That would be "The Golden Fleecing". The story takes place in
(mythical) Colchis. If I'm not mistaken, Colchis was somewhere in the
shores of the Black Sea, and nowhere near mainland Greece. As for the
name of the ship, I assume you mean the Argo. Argos is an area in the
Peloponese. The name is very ancient: one of the names that Homer uses
for Greeks is "Argeioi" (people of Argos).

Well.. I can give you a tip about a small on-line auction
right now... Low prises I suppose. Minimum bid US $1.
http://come.to/serieauktion/
Several Gladstone and Disney comics. Even some rare
1st issues... One snag, though, it's entirely in Swedish.
I think you can manage anyway with a bit of common sense,
and both "WDC&S" and "Disney" are spelled the same in
Swedish. ;-)

I could. I have a message about this at the DUCKhunt Messageboard.
This goes for everyone else too. I can get that issue for anyone requesting it. Contact should be taken within one week, please.
The cover and the FIRST part of the story is in the Aku Ankka issue #6/99, and the second part'll be in #7. If you contact me, I wish that you'd also mention whether you want both issues or just the one with the cover.

Yes, Santiago, you're right about this one--Crete is in Greece. But that's
but ONE example from Barks, since...

The Ducks are *NOT* taken by the Larkies (alias Harpies) to Greece on the
Argo. The famous Argonauts sailed from a place in Greece (Iolkos) to
Colchis, in the Black Sea basin. That place is *NOT* in Greece. Therefore,
besides the ancient Greek myth, I never considered "The Golden Fleecing" as
taking place in Greece, 'cause it's not! Anyway, Barks' story cut and pasted
various elements from the muth to fit his story: for example, he has the
Harpies living in Colchis, whereas from the Argonautica, they lived in
ancient Thrace, and they tortured a blind southsayer. The argonauts kill the
Harpies in the myth as they pass from Thrace on their way to Colchis.
Plus, I was really talking about the *MOUSE* visiting modern Greece. Other
than Barks' "The Fabulous Philosopher's Stone" and a late 10-pager of his,
(BTW, does "Horsing Around with History" count?--I guess so, if you consider
the Ducks sailing in the Aegean sea), I've also seen a few Egmont stories
sending the Ducks to (ancient) Greece, but the MOUSE has rarely visited my
country.
Cheers,
Archontis
