I've started pondering over a question...
What was the FIRST story where it was stated that Scrooge is the richest
man/duck in the world?
I know the fact that he is very, very rich was established pretty early, but
what I ponder about is when it was stated that he's _the richest_.
Can anyone help me on that one? I _assume_ it's a Barks story (seems very
logical to me), and my guess is that it's US 15 "The Second-richest Duck" - but
I'm not very sure about that. In fact, I'm not sure at all.

Hm. I hit a button by accident and therefor sent my message before it was
finished.
Oh, well, when I think of it, I think I had written everything but the
signature.
Since I wrote it, I have done a little more research, and it seems to me as if
it could be "The sunken city"... but I'm so very uncertain. Can anyone help me?

I think Donald stated something like "The richest old tycoon in the world"
when referring to uncle $crooge in the beginning of the 10-pager called
"Foxy relations" (title from CB library in color).
This was printed as early as 1948 I think.

Mickey Mouse Magazine file copy variations

I am looking for information on the different variations of 1930s
Mickey Mouse Magazine file copies. The link below shows representative
examples that I am aware of. I'd be very interested in hearing about
other types of identification marks.
http://www.hhkkpp.com/mmex.html
I know it is probably a longshot but any information about the history
of these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Hans

Could it be the story about statue contest with Maharajah? Statuesque
Spendrift I guess it is called. There Scrooge beats that
called-to-be-the-richest-man-in-the world really good.

Hi,
Halsten is right, Donald mentions it in the ten-pager with the fox-hunt (WDC
98, Scrooge's third appearance).

The typical mail room is full of sorting tables and pigeon-hole cases. Not

suspect that's what Don had in mind; that's how I modeled them in the
drawing anyway.

I don't have my comics collection in front of me right now (and that's a good
thing, otherwise I couldn't see the screen), but I _do_ have the INDUCKS. And I
get the impression that there was one story before "South Seas" where
Gladstone's luck showed up - "Links Hijinks" (WDC 96, 1948). Haven't read it in
a while, though, so I can't say for sure whether he's really lucky there or
not. I remember that he beats Donald in the end, though. :-)

Donald's first appearance
Message 387 -

Hm... I notice that in INDUCKS (or COA?), at least _two_ stories are listed as
Donald's first appearance...
http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/story.php/0/U+MMA++3-B34//_
http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/story.php/0/QMS+1934-009
How can this be true? I guess that MMA is a question of doubt (whether it can
be counted as a story or not), but I'm still confused as I've always
thought "The wise little hen" was Donald's first appearance.
And as for U MMA 3-B34, I have never seen it. Is a scan of it available
anywhere? Was this really Donald's first appearance, meaning everything I've
heard about "The wise little hen" is wrong?

Mickey Mouse Annual doesn't have the very same Donald Duck as we know him.
English 1932 appearance is more of like coincidence: a duck-character just
having the same name. I think this was discussed here some time ago.
