I think it's a classic story. Is it true that Daan Jippes has made a new version of this one? Is it true Barks's sketches finally have surfaced.
Don Rosa wrote:['King Scrooge the First'] Well, I thought the story was a bit lame and signaled that the man was a bit weary of writing. And I would have had trouble linking $crooge's family, which might have come to Scotland from Norman France and to Norman France from Norway, to relatives in the extremely distant Mid-East, and didn't like the idea of trying -- those are not nationalities that I would want in these Duck's ancestry. Anyway, it was my decision to include that among the various Barksian facts that I choose to dismiss and/or ignore, such as the Magic Hourglass and so forth.
Rosa, the underground adult collector who even can't use Donalds Bolivar, because his sister didn't buy a comic with Bolivar in the early 1950s. Or what was the reason? It was on the Rosa Network (DCML), last year.
