Author Topic:   The new stories from Don Rosa

acsive posted 31-05-100 13:26 ET (US)
Hi friends - read this :-)
I would want to inform you about the Rosa-stories since the stop of publishing in the US.
First we have the Secret of the Dutchman. A story about a legendary american treasure.
It so happebs that Scrooge was a freinc of this "Dutchman", a german named jacon Waltz, and the ducks go find his treasure.
Then we have Return to Forbidden valley where the ducks return to the valley of those Dinoaurs. A very great story in many ways:-)
In october 1999 Piucsou published a 5 year old story by Don. It had been rejected by Byron and now send to Picsou. The coin is the name, and you were able to read it here at duckhunt, and now on Sigvald's pages.
The story is not on schedule in the danish weekly yet, but the homepage of the same tells that the next story from Don (published in danish) will be this one.
Then came the Kalevala. A great epic, showing the ducks in the land of Kalevala, Finland, refinding the Gold mill from the epic. 33 pages or 34 in whole, when you count the extra page (findable from Sigvald's pages).
In this month (May, becoming as I write, June) Picsou published the newest story, A l'attaque. Meaning Attaaaaaack. You will soon be able to read this story online, by help from me, Sigvald, madeleine, and secondly origininally because of Didier Ghez, and thanks to Don. It's a great story about an alarm system that Donald (!) invents, with help from Gyro. The story involves the Chevalier Noir from the Balck Knight, and ... er I wont spoil the fun.
Coming up we have the (return of?) 3 cabelleros. Possibly going to be published less than 6 months from now, in scandinavian weeklies. It involves the charecters from the cartoon, I don't know more than that.
Don is doing an unedited (as Picsou says) part of Lo$, becoming 10B, where Scrooge and Theordore Roosevelt meat at the Panama channel. The story is under production but Picsou promisses to publish it "cette année" I can't say if they mean this year, as in 2000, Don could make it, if he sends it in june, and they publish in december. On the other hand they can mean within a year.
The Coin was also published in Finland. The kalevala was published many places, including Indonesia!
I am/will be able to get you danish copies of these stories. I have copies of the stories I have mentioned, that have come out here. I have scans of the new Attaaaaack, and I hope that the Coin and 3 Cabelleros come out here.I'll order as many copies of the issues at the local bookstore as you ask for!

Thanks AC!
It's crying shame that I can't speak (read)
french.....
I love Don Rosa's stories, thinking that he'd be doing a 10B(1/2) is sooooooooo exciting!!!!! Do you think Hortense and Matilda will be in it? Or maybe the birth of Donald? He was born a few years after the completion of the Panama Canal! :)

Have a great summer! (winter for you all in Australia...)

I can't read Danish, but I just enjoy the pictures! ;-) Thanks again, Anders!
*huge grin*
I look forward to any new Lo$ chapters! Donald's birth would be fascinating. Remember that Della is born at the same time. It might settle some of the debate over whether they are hatched from eggs or born like humans! :-)

hmmm born like humans? you have a very wild

I'll take that as a compliment. ^_^

Goldie: They must have been hatched from eggs. I recall that Scrooge sat on 2 of the Golden Goose eggs in US45 "Isle of Golden Geese", before he gave up that project in favor of going to the Isle.
Goldie posted 28-06-100 14:10 ET (US)
Well, sure, but all that proves is that he knew non-anthropomorphic (non-human-like) geese sit on eggs. Didn't say anything about the anthropomorhpic ducks. ;-)
Mayor of Venus posted 29-06-100 01:58 ET (US)
Gosh, that's right. Point well taken. Which animals are anthropomorphic, and which are not, like Pluto. And even some of the non-anthropomorphic birds can speak, like Joe from Singapore (but he was a parrot).
Wouter posted 29-06-100 10:52 ET (US)
It's good to dream, but don't get your hopes up to high about Donalds bearth, at the beginning of Life of $crooge 11: "The Empire Builder of Calisota", Donalds father and mother are engaged and Scrooge and his sisters go to Africa. When Scrooge get's back, after a very long time, he meets Donald and Della for the first time. So at Donalds birth, Scrooge was far away.
Still, the first time Scrooge and Donald meet was very good, just perfect and historical. You remember? Scrooge didn't care about it's family and Donald kicked him,
one of my favorit moments in Don Rosa stories. It are those small moments, that make you feel they are special...
Goldie posted 29-06-100 15:21 ET (US)
I love that scene. For one thing, it's so momentous to see Donald and Scrooge meeting for the first time. For another, it cracks me up to see him kick Scrooge, and it's great how Scrooge repays the favor o many times throughout the stories! LOL! :-)
Wouter posted 30-06-100 16:58 ET (US)
It's crazy, but me as observive Duck-fanatic hadn't relised that Scrooge was returning the favor all the time.
Anyway, leave it to Don Rosa to write historical moments in a way you won't forget them.
I think it's really great what he had done with the relationship between Scrooge and Donald. How they get in strange jams together like in "The Incredible Schrinking Thightwad", "A Matter of some Gravity" and "An Eye for Detail" (very, very, very funny). I like the special relationship between Scrooge and Donald even more than Scrooge and Goldie's. (Nonetheless "Hearts of the Yukon is still my favorite story)
You can see, for instant when Donald falls in "The Incredible Schrinking Tightwad" how Scrooges' face is very concerned, how he really cares about Donald.
People often think that Donald looks nothing like Scrooge and the nephews a lot; but how much this isn't true is showed incredibly good at the end of: "The Dutchman's Secret" (a very good story, by the way) where Donald understands that Scrooge is happy about the money he got, not because the adventure which ended all right, wich the nephews think. The lesser noble and more greedy side of the Ducks is shared by them mostly.
But more important, they are just a great duo!
Madame Comic Collector posted 30-06-100 23:12 ET (US)
Does anybody know if Mr.Rosa ever metioned
Scrooge's "big ball of string" in his stories? Like has he ever mentioned when he started collecting it?
Yes, this is a stupid Barks detail to bring up, but I couldn't think of anything else.....
Madam Comic Collector

Mayor of Venus posted 01-07-100 01:40 ET (US)
Madame Comic Collector: Rosa had the ball of string, bigger than ever, in "The Shrinking Tightwad" story Wouter just mentioned. Scrooge rolls Donald over with it on the very first page as they start to clean out a storeroom in the money bin; the storeroom had lots of stuff from past stories. But the ball of string was not discussed in the dialog---last we saw from Barks, the ball of string was unrolled all over Africa, so how did it get rolled up again? Another story yet to be written.
Wouter posted 01-07-100 10:17 ET (US)
Scrooge probably made Donald to roll it up. That storeroom was great; even Scrooge's cup he could make bigger from a one-page Barks story was there!
Mayor of Venus posted 01-07-100 12:22 ET (US)
Wouter: Yes, I missed the dialog on page 2. Donald complains that it took him 3 weeks to rewind the ball of string. And yes, Scrooge's expanding coffee cup, and his sponge doughnut, are seen in panel 5 on page 3. These Barks' items are all on the Barks reference webpage that Asger Jensen used to maintain and update. But the recent stories aren't there yet, and I can't review things there anymore because there's some kind of connection problem at GeoCities. The first page that lists the links to all the stories still works fine. Then when I click on a story, the next page with the small panels comes up. But it only stays up for about 10 seconds and then a GeoCities error message says "Whoops! We can't find that page." Even though they just did! Then it's not possible to click on the small panels to see them larger, like before. The Mickey Mouse page still works fine. Are other people having similar problems with the Barks reference page?
Wouter posted 01-07-100 20:04 ET (US)
I guess I guessed right! I also didn't remember the dialog; it just seemed logical to me that Donald would have been made to do that.
Maybe we can make a list of stuff and references in the store-room; I wanted to suggest also, but I can see it's already been done at that page.
Can anybody think of something else we over-fanatic Duck-fans can do, but no-one else, just for the fun of it?
Madame Comic Collector posted 02-07-100 21:12 ET (US)
Here's a good question from George Balopitas (which is posted in the guestbook)here it is..."Just one question: Did Uncle $crooge ever got some education? I believe that in a Carl Barks story he says that he, not only went to college, but also played football in the college team. That information is missing from his "Life and times""
I don't know what Carl Barks story he is refering to but.... I'd think that if he did, that he'd go to an American Collage (a real cheap one), like after his first billion or after he became the richest duck in the world,( he might of figured he'd need it to run an international business). I don't know what information was given in the story......

Wouter posted 03-07-100 19:17 ET (US)
I remember a short Barks story, in which Scrooge starts meddeling with Hewey, Dewey and Louie's footballgame, I think he mentioned his former experience there.
I like to think that Scrooge got all his knowledge from life-experience; I can't picture him going to college.
I myself think the information given in the story wasn't very important.
Mayor of Venus posted 03-07-100 23:12 ET (US)
Madame Comic Collector:
Wouter is right again, concerning Barks'
short story about a football game. It's a 4-pager called "September Scrimmage; Gladstone reprinted in the Scrooge album series #20. First published in Mickey Mouse Almanac #1, Dec. '57. The Duckburg team is losing 6-0, and Scrooge recalls his football days at "Webfoot Tech" back in the eighties. That would be sometime in the 1880's! So this Barks' factoid can't fit into Don Rosa's life of Scrooge.
In the football story, Scrooge goes into the game when Louie is injured. He scores the tying touchdown by hiding the ball in his top hat. A pidgeon helps the extra point kick over the goal to win the game.
Goldie posted 21-07-100 18:12 ET (US)
Back to the Scrooge and Donald relationship... (Since I didn't check in for a few days...shame on me!)
It's a great relationship. Like with Goldie, Scrooge stubbornly refuses to admit he cares about Donald. In many ways, Donald is like the son Scrooge never had, and HD&L are like his grandsons. Yet despite his gruff exterior, Scrooge has saved Donald's bacon several times. In "The Incredible Shrinking Tightwad", as already mentioned, he dives into the hole after him. And the best example, I think, is in "The Money Pit."
I also love the exchange between HD&L and Scrooge in "Escape from Forbidden Valley" (unpublished in the USA as of yet :-p ) regarding Donald. Scrooge is griping about having to rescue Donald yet again, and HD&L call him on the carpet for being so mean to their uncle. Then one of the boys puts forth a theory that maybe Scrooge is jealous of all the freedom Donald has...no money bin to worry about, still young, (and he's got Daisy -- my addition to the list :-)
Scrooge angrily denies it, of course, but it was a very interesting moment. Donald and Scrooge compliment each other very nicely.
I know some purists say Don Rosa has skewed Donald, and made him less-than-true to Barks' Donald. I can see part of their argument, but I love Rosa's Donald as well as Barks'. They are a bit different, but all Rosa's characters have a unique flavor, and I, for one, love it!!! :-) But then I'm biased...
Wouter posted 22-07-100 13:29 ET (US)
The last story published in Holland was: "The Dutchman's secret, but now I'm really curious to read: 'Escape from Forbidden Valley'.
Duebel posted 04-10-104 12:54 ET (US)
I live in Austria and "The dutchmans Secret" is print by 1999.... five years ago. I didnt know that in the USA the comics didn't come quickly.
Sorry for my possibly broken English.
