Recently I found a copy of Uncle Scrooge 142 (USA, July 1977) that reprints Barks' Back to the Klondike. This version omits the four page sequence with Scrooge in Goldie's saloon, however.
Anybody know where/when the full story was first printed in the USA?

First print of the 32-page version was in 1980 in the book "Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His Life & Times". A half lost page was substituted with new pencil sketches made by Carl Barks. Later Daan Jippes inked that half page.

I believe they first used the barroom sequence in Gladstone Comic Album #4 The first actual comic book they used it in was Uncle Scrooge Adventures #26.

You're right, too, Roger. GCA 4 would be the first print of the fully-inked version, I suppose.

Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His Life & Times came out 1981. I'm not sure if Finnish Aku Ankka comic book came first in all the world, when it published missing 4+1/2 pages in January 1981. --> No, according to Inducks it was Dutch publication Oom Dagobert, avonturen van een Steenrijke Eend from 1978 that somehow got those missing pages published! I wonder if they got all 4+1/2? Certainly not the lost half page Barks made later.

Thanks for agreeing with me Gerd. I think Uncle Scrooge His Life and Times might have printed that story with the barroom sequence for the first time.

You're right, that's presumably the first publication of the barroom scene worldwide. It seems the Dutch published a 31-page version, i.e. with a full page missing.
