LUCKY:

Well, it's not a question to me, but "Lo$" is an abbreviation of 
Don's "Life of Scrooge". This is a story which lasts for twelve 
chapters and it tells about the early life of Scrooge McDuck. Don 
based this masterpiece on "facts" about Scrooge's life in Barks' 
stories.

Do you know which story I'm talking about? There are (I think) 10 
chapters published here in Holland, I'm really longing for the last 
two.

Do you know a lot of Carl Barks and Don Rosa?

If it's really a problem, maybe you can ask for a subscription at 
Gladstone? We're living in a very interesting Duck-period again, with 
an artist like Don. (And I really mean this, I don't say this just 
because Don is a member of the forum.)

It sure costs a lot of money, but you can buy the "Carl Barks 
Library" from publisher "Another Rainbow" (Who also publishes 
Gladstone). It consists of ten sets, each containing 3 books. It also 
includes a lot of unpublished artwork. I have this "CBL" (another 
abbreviation!) and for me it was sure worth the money (and I paid a 
lot more for it here in Holland).

According to Jakob Soderbaum (who is on holiday now) the CBL is being 
reprinted now.


ALL:

Now we're talking about it: Are there members who already saw 
Pocahontas? If so, is it a good movie? We Dutch people will be able 
to see this movie for the first time in the autumn, so I like to know 
if it's worth longing for.


Have a nice day!
