I just talked to my local comic store and they see no listing for the Disney
free comic in the January (or Feb) order forms? So how do they actually
order it?

Just for the record:
In the Barks/Rosa universe Scrooge died in 1967,
100 years old. So in that universe it would most
likely be HD&L who has to worry about the
monetary challenges of our time.

Hi all!

I just found this link:
http://no.news.yahoo.com/030203/5/140mz.html

The text is in Norwegian. It says that Orson
Welles daughter are now struggeling for the
rights to the well known film "Citizen Kane".
She argues that her father didn't sell the
rights in a correct way or something.

"Citizen Kane" is one of Don Rosa's important
sources of inspiration.

Hi all!

I am a collector of the books called "En kvart
?rgang". These books are collections of 13
issues of DD&Co. I now have a some questions:

1) Why are the enclosures *not* included in
these books?

2) I've collected eight books so far, with book
4 of the 2001 collection as the latest one. Today
I was in a shop where they use to sell this books
and the girl there said that se sold a copy not
very long time ago. So what is the last book that
is published so far?

3) Does these books exist also in other countries
like Denmark, Sweden or Finland?

Sigvald :-)

Scrooge might well be thrilled by a global conversion to virtual money as
the cash he so adores will be of no use to anyone else. Where will this
leave The Beagle Boys?

People are speculating whether Scrooge would exchange his beloved money.
Based on his record, I expect he would. Despite his sentimental
attachment to
his 3 cubic acres of coins and greenbacks, there are several Barks
stories in
which he exchanged the entire 3 cubic acres for large denomination bills to
have a smaller volume of money to safeguard, and once into silver dollars.
Presumably he had no sentimental attachment to the large bills or the silver
dollars. Here are some of the stories:

US #3 (FC #495) second story, Sept. 1953, "Water Tank Tryout"
aka "The Round Money Bin". It took the bank 3 months to convert
his 3 cubic acres into $10,000 bills, which Scrooge stored
in an old
water tank. His #1 dime was his only coin left; this was
the first
story with the #1 dime.

US #4, Dec. 1953, "Menehune Mystery" aka "Hawaiian Hideaway".
Scrooge changed his 3 cubic acres into $1,000,000 bills
which were
put into cans for the trip to a small island near Hawaii.

US #27, Sept. 1959, "The Money Champ". Challenged by Glomgold,
he and Scrooge convert the money in their bins and all their
business
investments into silver dollars to be piled up and measured
at the
Duckburg airport.

US #39, second story, Sept. 1962, "Tricky Experiment". Again
Scrooge changed all his money into $1,000,000 bills to put
them into
another spherical tank.

US #51, Aug. 1964, "How Green was my Lettuce". Because of
gophers undermining the foundation of his money bin, Scrooge has
to lighten the load, and exchanges all his coins for bales
of large
denomination greenbacks. On page 6, panel 5, there is a
stack of
about 32 bales. The 2 bales in the foreground of panel 3 on
page 6
are each labeled $9,000,000,000,000,000. If all 32 bales
have this
same amount, he has $288,000,000,000,000,000 in his bin.

Any other stories to add to this list, by Barks or others?
Best wishes,
Larry Giver
