<TITLE> The first Flinthearth's non-barksian story </TITLE>

To Katie, and for who's intertested in this issue: it seems that the very first Flinthearth's non-barksian story is Italian, and specifically <B>Zio Paperone e il bisbilione</B>, written by Osvaldo Pavese, art by Giuseppe Perego,<B> </B>in "Topolino" n. 608 (23-07-1967). Since the art is quite - AHEM, ER... - not oustanding, the story is not so famous; indeed it's quite important, because shows the first (and only?) team-up Scrooge-Flintheart-Rockerduck, and even if Flintheart is in Duckburg (but it's not written that he *lives* there) it's clearly shown a difference between his personality and Rockerduck's one.<BR>
Moreover, this story also clearly states the *ufficial* Italian translation of Flinthearth Glomgold into Cuordipietra Famedoro, even if this very name was used only one time before, in translating original Barks' stories.<BR>
