I'm afraid I can't help you with the code. But I do remember that story and
all those realistic car pictures. It was published in Finland in "Walt
Disneyn klassikot" album series and the title was "Roope Ankka ja
automobiilit" ("Scrooge McDuck and the Automobiles").
I think I got the album as a present on my 6th birthday, in 1987, as you
said. I liked it a lot - in fact I've read it so much that nowadays it only
has 40 pages... The woman's Finnish name is Kata Lyysi, by the way.

Believe it or not! German Rosa Album #21 has wrong story inside!

To Don Rosa, Ehapa .... and Everyone else!
Allright.....maybe it is just me, but I have the slight feeling that
something is wrong here!
I just got the latest Rosa Album from Ehapa (#21)
The featured stories are 'The last lords of Eldorado'
and 'The sign of the Tripple Distelfink' (yep, that=B4s how it is written=
in
the Album). :o)
Some people might remember that Ehapa=B4s preview showed a cover with the
Black Knight for Issue #21
and a Edorado Cover for #22. And that is what they did: the new Comic HAS
the Black knight Cover and the Eldorado story.
(could that have been a reason for the delay of the Album that was suppos=
ed
to be out a month ago already..., but why wasn=B4t it fixed then? Or bett=
er:
Are all Albums like the ones I have here)
And does that indicate that #22 will have the Eldorado cover and the Blac=
k
knight Story inside?
Is Anyone from Ehapa here who can help to clear things up?
Thanks,
Mike Schneiderath

No, he wasn't. In another story (D 98325 by Van Horn, AA 16/99, page 3)
Donald says "If I got an euro for each piece of paper I pick up, I would be
a billionaire in a couple of days." I just wanted to use an example from a
story most people on the list might be acquainted with. Besides, suddenly
using US dollars in situations where usually the Finnish mark has been used,
would seem even stranger to me...
Actually, I now remember reading in some magazine about this. I think it was
a project "to make kids better acquainted with the new currency." Maybe it
was short-lived - but at least the issues 16 and 17 used euros.

True. Also, according to Rosa and many others, Duckburg is in the US - why
would they use marks? Should it be decided "officially" that Duckburg is in
the US and start using dollars all around the world? To me, it seems best to
use a currency most familiar to the readers.
Or, should they use national currency and try to decide whether each story
is happening before or after the change to euros and use both? Pretty
complicated...
Or should Rosa's version of the history of the Ducks be made canonical and
use national currencies from here to eternity, since all stories have
happened a long time ago? Would that seem old-fashioned after a couple of
decades! Besides, it seems to me many duck artists do place their stories in
the nineties rather than sixties.
Actually, I think many artists and a vast majority of readers think the
Ducks live in an imaginary time and place, and therefore the most natural
choice of currency would be either the readers' national currency (marks for
now, euros in a couple of years - in all stories) or an imaginary currency.

Fellow Quackeroos:
Here's my pick for this edition of "Story of the Week":
"Il Tiranno del Nord", I-TL #1236-1237, 1979. Art & Story: Romano Scarpa.
Originally printed in two parts; Part I, 33 pages, and Part II, 33 pages.
Greek re-print: "Miky Maous" #1409-1410, 1993.
*Story's Synopsis*: The story begins with U$, Donald, and the kids aboard a
boat made out of ice, somewhere in the frozen Arctic northern seas. The kids
are busy throwing the water off the boat, Donald is busy giving orders,
while Scrooge is busy wallowing in a bunch of golden artifacts. All of a
sudden, they all simultaneously have a sudden lapse of memory. They can't
understand what on earth they're doing on that boat, and how they got hold
of the gold. They all have around their necks a stone amulet that adds to
the enigma. As they slowly reach warmer climates, their ice-boat is starting
to melt, and the kids construct a raft out of the wooden sails and mast.
Scrooge refuses to the very end to abandon the golden artifacts, until a
passing ship picks them up in the nick of time. What's the deal here? What
have our heroes being doing so far away from Duckburg? Why did they all of a
sudden lose their memory?
Return back a few weeks prior to the current events, as scienstists at
Scrooge's research center are busy trying to come up with a new form of
fusion energy out of polar ice. Scrooge has been transporting huge chunks of
polar ice to his labs for experiments hopefully leading to this new energy
source. However, while the experiments prove futile, the chief scientist
locates a strange object encrusted in one of the huge ice chunks. As the
objects is being chipped off the ice, it turns out to be a golden amphora.
Scrooge and the kids retreat to Scrooge's library to examine the artifact
more carefully. The kids reason that since it was lodged 5 meters inside the
ice, it must have been there for many centuries. Scrooge replies that no
known civilization flourished in that latitude, and that obviously it was
left there by someone. Looking more carefully at the amphora, Scrooge gets
the feeling that he has seen it before, as part of a larger treasure. He
resorts to a volume on ancient world treasures, and pretty soon he hits the
jack pot: the amphora is part of the great treasure of...Genghis Khan! As
the kids wonder how on earth it managed to get so far away from Mongolia,
Scrooge starts to read from the book: it seems that in 1206 AC, when Genghis
had succeeded in uniting all of the Mongol tribes north of the Great Wall of
China, his brother Gengiv rebelled and fled along with his followers towards
the coast. Gengiv managed to get a hold of a major part of his brother's
treasure, and upon reaching the coast, he boarded along with the treasure a
fleet of ships waiting for him. According to the legend, no one ever heard
again of Gengiv's whereabouts. Scrooge reasons that Gengiv had obviously
reached the frozen lands of the north, never managed to make it back, and
left the treasure there that noboby recovered yet.
Scrooge, convinced that the cup he found by accident will lead him to the
treasure of Genghis Khan, decides to organize an expedition to the arctic
north. He calls Donald and asks him to meet them at the docks, where they a
board a boat specially designed to crush ice, equipped with an ice-borer.
Days later they reach the arctic ice, and head towards the exact place where
Scrooge's crews had taken the ice chunks. A special ray-machine reveals
nothing in the surrounding ice banks, and as Scrooge starts to gets testy,
he inadvertendly pushes the button that puts the ice-borer into action.
Unfortunately, the ice borer, bores a hole into their boat, that they are
now forced to abandon. They throw a dinghy into the drink, and jump in
there. All of a sudden, out of the fog, there appears an ice-boat, boarded
by threatening Mongol-looking people carrying bows and arrows. Who are
they...where did they come from?....
...To be *CONTINUED* next "week", in Part II of "Il mistero del Nord"!
Cheers,
Archontis

The "Back to school" Dell Giants(1,22,35,89) feature some fine story
work by Strobl. I never cared a lot for his artwork, but some of his
stories are quite entertaining, funny and educational. Some other
personal Strobl favorites include "Charge at Dawn"(DD 49), "Butterfly
Safari"(DD 63), "Bombird Island"(DD 64), "Paper Route"(DD 66), "Rutabaga
race"(DD 67), "Fabulous Fiddlesticks"(DD 68), and "Too Cold" &
"Homeless"( DD 75). There are probably another five or six personaal
favorites, but I need to dig through my stack to find them. These names
are arbitrarily thought up by me, not the "official" names in the
database.
He also did some Christmas Parade stories in the mid fifties that were
quite good. I can check some of these again if you wish. It's been
awhile.
Many of these books are available and reasonably priced, as are a lot
of the WDCS books from the fifties, due to the huge number of copies
sold. "Reasonable" here means in the five to ten dollar range for a copy
in grade very good or better.
This is based on my purchasing experience at the San Diego Comicon of 2
years ago. By the way, I will be there on Sunday. I'll be happy to meet
any list members there. (I've heard sunday is the best day to make
purchases, as it is the last day).

Therev is no story. Just part of my version of the Barks Duck Universe. My stories all take place sometime in the 1950's. If I do stories about a character (which I see as human rather than an immortal fairy-tale funny-animal) which tell of his involvement in riverboats and cattle drives of the 1880s, and gold rushes of the 1890's (as according to Barks' originals), I can't possibly also do stories about the same character alive in 1999. This is a my own personal view which I plan to adhere to forever, but it is not a view I would expect any other Duck writer to adopt, and I would actually think it would be a mistake if they did. We can therefore have different types of stories for different types of readers, not the American-style lowest-common-denominator form of entertainment.

Hi, robgsb and all!
I'm happy that someone in the List (like yourself) is going to give
Strobl the attention he deserves.
Alberto also agrres that his early works, in the 50es were great
stories, great job he made!
Also starring Thumper, Goofy, The Seven Dwarfs...
Indded, in "Zio Paperone" we are gonna reprinting (or printing for its
first time in a filological way) in Italy some of his early stories.
Look for the Xmas issues with two Donald - Scrooge's stories, one by
him (and Del Connell): "The Big Switcheroo", and one by Jack Bradbury,
both very interesting and entertaining.
(...)
> This is based on my purchasing experience at the San Diego Comicon of 2
> years ago. By the way, I will be there on Sunday. I'll be happy to meet
> any list members there. (I've heard sunday is the best day to make
> purchases, as it is the last day).
OK, so, I try to ask it again:
WHO from this List is planning to be there, in Aug?
It could be nice to have a meeting, if possible.
Luca

>According to Don Rosa, Scrooge McDuck died in 1967.
I have never heard this before, and I haven't seen Don Rosa's timeline,
but I do disagree with this new belief that Unca Scrooge is no longer
with us. I am aware that Don Rosa places his stories in the past. But,
to my knowledge Carl Barks never did this. Since this is the case, one
can assume that stories written after 1967 by Barks took place in the
time period they were written in. Even though Barks retired in 1967,
(ironically the year of Scrooges "death") he did write stories after
this, like Go Slowly Sands of Time, Horsing Around With History, and
about 25 Junior Woodchuck stories, several of which featured Scrooge.
Since all previous stories took place in the time they were written, one
can assume that these do as well.
Also, in Horsing Around With History, and even in Rosa's own Son of the
Sun, the nephews act like it's been a long time since they've gone on a
treasure hunt with Uncle Scrooge. If these stories REALLY took place in
the 1950's-1960's, when Scrooge was globetrotting on a bi-monthly basis
in new adventures, the nephews would have no reason to think this.
Finally, in Go Slowly Sands of Time, we learn that "...the secret of long
life is to enjoy your work!" Moola Khan, treasurer to the Mir of Hunza
goes on to tell Scrooge that the secret of long life is to count a
sackful of gold and to "dive around in the stuff! Toss it up and let it
hit you on the head! That's what will keep you young!" One would think
that with three cubic acres of cash Scrooge could indeed live forever.
Scrooge may be getting old, but many, many, artists still feature Scrooge
in new stories that obviously take place in the present. Besides, if
Scrooge grew old and died, why don't new stories feature Huey, Dewey, and
Louie married with kids? Really, when it comes to talking ducks
everything is open for interpretation. This is just the way I see it.
