I just read Lars Jensen's story "Hard as Flint" (or at least that's what the Swedish translation of the title is) which reveals some of the Glomgold family history. Along with Flintheart's grandfather, Stoneheart Glomgold, it also reveals for the first time his father and mother. There was also a cameo of Slackjaw Snorehead. His mother's name wasn't told to us but I wonder what Flintheart's father name was in English. The Swedish name of Flinty is "Guld-Ivar Flinthjärta", which can be translated as "Gold-Ivar Flintheart" (as you perhaps could have guessed...) and the ancestor's name was translated as being based on other metals like bronze and silver. So I'm guessing his father's name in English is based on another stone type? The art was made by Marco Rota which, as usual, was great, but also the designs of the parents and little Flintheart was great as well. I will not reveal the story itself but it was a really good read, and you will probably like it even more if you're interested in reading about Flintheart Glomgold. Kudos to both Jensen and Rota!

I hope that Dutch Disney and/or IDW will print that story as soon as the rules allow. It sounds very interesting. Is it a long adventure? How many pages?

I don't find it on INDUCKS. What's its code?

Jensen and Rota are two of my very favourite Disney comic creators, and this subject sounds really interesting, indeed! I hope it will be published here in the Netherlands soon!

Yes, it isn't a long story. It's set in the present with flashbacks from the past, which has plenty of information from that time. It also shows how it affects Flintheart in modern time. But for a short story it is structured very well by Jensen, making it a coherent and interesting story.

I think I remember a fan drawing Quackberg once did that showed possible designs of Glomgold's parents. Are their designs in Rota's comic anything like yours, Quackberg? And does Stoneheart *actually* appear, or is he just shown as an unnamed grandfather of Flintheart?

Is "Quackberg" the name of the city where Donald lives in Sweden? Or is Quackburg the city in South Africa from where The Glomgolds originated? I thought that The Swedes say that family was from the same place as Donald and Scrooge are now.
I thought that was Ankaby or Ankaborg. I only know Duckburg, Duckstad, Entenhausen, and Andeby.

Allow me to add to the confusion.
Step 1: Go to http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=it/TL+3002
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of the page.
Step 3: Look at the one-page Beagle Boys story from a 2013 issue of Topolino. The title is "Quel treno da Quackburg."

No they are not based on those and I like Jensen's and Rotas's designs better anyway so I couldn't complain about that :). Their designs works very well for their version of the parents. Stoneheart has his old design like in his first appearance so I could with great certitude say it's him. He is also named but it's a Swedish translation so I don't know if it's still "Stoneheart" but Jensen has talked about Stoneheart before so I could not see any reason that it wouldn't be him. Also, he appears, like the the parents, in flashbacks narrated by Flintheart, so they don't say anything themselves however. But I will upload some scans on the parents in your "My Glomgold family tree" topic.

Yes, Duckburg in Swedish is "Ankeborg", which is a direct translation. Quackberg is just a username I made up for this forum.
