hi all,

Clueless newbie rides again! I have a few quick
questions.
First, I was wondering if there's any been any mention
of any relatives of Flintheart Glomgold in the books?
I've always assumed he was an orphan and didn't know
any of his family, but I have quite a few gaps in my
collection so I could've missed something. Any
sisters, nephews, ect?

Second, I was wondering if the duck books (Donald Duck
and/or Uncle Scrooge) will ever be published in the
United States again? From what I last heard,
Gladstone was having problems renewing the license to
publish them (?).

And one last (silly) one.... I was rereading Rosa's
"Island at the Edge of Time" (US# 276) the other day
and noticed the plane Keoki flew looked (to me) a lot
like Baloo's plane (the "Seaduck") from TaleSpin,
which Rosa wrote a few episodes of. My imagination?

Sorry if these have been asked before, I did some
research prior to posting but couldn't find any
answers.

Back in the mid-seventies, I read that the complete history via the comics was available in a collected works called "Uncle Scrooge: His Life and Times" by Carl Barks. My later search for the set met with no knowledge of its existence. Is it available, and have there been similar sets for the other characters?

Hi!
In the mailing list on Monday, 15 January 2001 Halvor Sandven
presented a list of the most-used artists in the danish and dutch
weeklies.

The idea of grading artists is good, (however, where to use it?)
but what if the artists were also classified by their art styles and
their stories? This could help to recognize all the strange names
of artists, I think.
-

In following list I have categorized some artists via their
context. There are some mentions about the publishers of their
stories, (D - Denmark, H - Holland, I - Italy) and I have also ranked
artists among my personal opinions, best ones on the top in each
case: (sorry for that)

By the way, the 11th artist on Halvor Sandven's list, Toi, is an old abbreviation of Antonio Bancells Pujadas (a.k.a Bancells) (ABc), nowadays familiar from Egmonts 3-layout Duck-stories in pocket books (Jumbobog(dk), Kalle Ankas pocket(se),...)

Sorry my poor english.

Well, *officially* he didn't die at all, it's just a (most impressive)
drawing by Don Rosa.
Anyway there is an Italian story drawn by Luciano Gatto (definitely out of
any "real" continuity) in which Donald and nephews go to the future (oh
well to year 2001 if I remember correctly, but the story was from the
sixties :-) and in that future Scrooge had died and the future Donald has
taken his place (in everything, he even looks like Scrooge). Quite an
upsetting story.

Ah, that's life!

Sure, in Don Rosa's "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", chapter 6 there's
a young Glomgold that nevere reveals his name to Scrooge.

The book was published in 1981 by Celestial Arts, Millbrae, California. It
has ISBN # 0-89087-290-2 (Hardbound deluxe edition including a signed and
numbered lithograph "Wanderers of Wonderlands" by Barks). I think the book
was also published as a trade paperback, but I'm not quite sure.
The book contains reprints of 11 of Carl Barks' Scrooge stories plus a new
story titled "Go Slowly Sands of Time". The latter is not a comic but a text
story with illustrations (circa one illustration per page). In addition the
book contains articles about Barks and even an introduc(k)tion by Barks
himself.

I have no idea of the availability of this book. I checked www.amazon.com
with no results.

This is not a *complete* Scrooge history. For this (in the Carl Barks sense)
you will need The Carl Barks Library or the actual comic books.

It definitely is.

Little update:

And this does astonish me since it's about sardine fish in the
neighborhood of Tegucigalpa on May!!!
It's in Spanish, I've had copernic traslate it in English (seems to work
better than babelfish), here it goes:

-------------------------

THE RAIN OF FISH
By Perfect H. Bobadilla (Honduran)
Article appeared in the Magazine Literary Mail of Honduras, Year I, no. 1,
Tegucigalpa, D.C., Honduras, C.A.

" the heavy shower of fish, as they call the native ones to him, is
characteristic: one begins generally to four or five of late, with a black
cloud, followed of strong electrical unloadings and terrible hurricanes,
that appear in the hill of Bush Water "

Ands one of the most peculiar phenomena than is observed in Honduras. It
takes place in the neighborhoods of the city of Yoro, to a kilometer of
distance, towards the Suroeste of the population, in the called plain "
the Marsh ", that limits the West with the cerrito of " the Name Badly ".
It is a this volcano extinguished, that made eruption at remote time,
according to testify the many iron sulfide stones that in the expressed
plain are dispersed.

What more Llama the attention in this " rain of fish ", is the regularity
whereupon verifies; annually, for a single time, in the months of May or
June, when beginning the rainy station in this colorful region.

The " heavy shower of fish ", as they call the native ones to him, is
characteristic: one begins generally to four or five of late, with a black
cloud, followed from strong electrical unloadings and terrible hurricanes,
that appear in the hill of " Bush Water ", by the Northeast of the
Atlantic side, that is, of where come tradewinds of this zone. Finished
the storm, the sardines, like of three to four inches in length, they are
jumping, alive still, on the green savannah of " the Marsh ", dispersing,
sometimes, in winch of a lagunato, that exists Badly in the Northeast base
of the cerrito of " the Name ", water tank that is dried totally in the
summer.

We, when young, have had opportunity, more of once, to go in company of
other chicuelos of the district, once passed the storm, to gather the
flavorful pececillos, returning contentments to our homes to enjoy the
delights of a succulent supper.

Several theories have been formulated to explain scientifically, this
peculiar one like interesting phenomenon; but the one that seems guessed
right more she is the one than it attributes it to a marine whirlwind
coming from the Atlantic, by the constant direction from where the cloud
comes, to go the heavy shower accompanied by frequent and formidable
electrical unloadings, and to invariably fall in the plain of " the Marsh
", in where, due to the iron mineral stock, it perhaps has, a pole that it
attracts the whirlwind, in which the mysterious pececillos come.

------------------------

If this turns out to be true, I'll certainly include it in my site :-))

Any Honduran in list??
