Want something strange? Try the German "I, Uncle Scrooge" (Ich, Onkel
Dagobert) books! In one of them, "Donald Duck finds Pirate Gold" is
reprinted! And they even printed a few panels upside down, to make it

Aku Ankka. Our Finnish members can tell you the details.

Andres O"nd. We used to have an Icelandic member. What happened to Sigurdur?

And you can also add the Faeroer to your country list.

Original Argentinan stories from as early as 1945?

Yes, these studios and a lot of southern European studios work(ed) for
the USA, Denmark, Holland and Germany.
