Interesting pack of 4...
Now I'll only have to check the delivery cost...
Charlie Brown
Lustiges Taschenbuch English Edition #5 is there. This time containing stories never published in English (execept "Powerplay On Killmotor Hill").
Amazon takes also orders: http://www.amazon.de/Lustiges-Taschenbuch-English-Band-Sonderedition/dp/384132505X/

Hum... "Plot by Carl Barks"? I missed the existence of that story completely until now! Must get one of the comic pocketbooks where it appeared already.

It's based on the one-page treatment Barks wrote for an unproduced Uncle Scrooge cartoon short. In my opinion, it's not very good; Daan Jippes did a better version.
UPDATE: edited the link so it works!
GeoX
...in spite of which, I must say, this new book looks a lot better than the first four volumes, thanks to the presence of big names like Rota and Cavazzano.
Per amazon, I see that there's a sixth, Barks-centric volume due out in September (likely of less interest to American fans, for obvious reasons), though based on that cover picture, they seem to have changed the format.
Coolwater
Ah yeah, I remember the Jippes version of that story. Nevertheless, I need this one, too. And if just as deposit copy. My Barks archives cry for completeness.
GeoX
Sure. Plus, it's by Geoffrey Blum, who is after all a pretty pivotal figure in American Disney comics.

No, that scan is something completely different. It's this.

Ah. Thanks. So I wonder whether there IS a sixth volume planned, or if the thing's existence was naught but a typo?
Coolwater
Probably there is. Everything except the scan is about such a sixth volume. The text right to the scan as well as the product information further down on the page. And that sixth album of a(nother) German Barks edition was published already months ago (with a different price and a different number of pages than given here).

Is planned :) But the cover will look different. The current cover seems to be an mistake by Amazon.

Volume six will come out September 1.
