New Scarpa story and more...

[Søren Krarup Olesen]

The new Danish (Egmont) weekly to be published next Thursday contains 
*two* stories by Scarpa.

The first one is a completely new story, written and drawn by Romano 
Scarpa (coded D 2000-188)--his Uncle Scrooge tribute to Carl Barks. 
It's a nice little story (16 pages in 4-tiers) starring US himself and 
his always potential bride Brigitta, who travels to an island for 
reasons I am not going to reveal here. Another leading character is 
Flintheart Glomgold, something I find a bit imputed, since Scarpa 
almost never used Glomgold. Probably this was "requested" by Egmont, 
and it doesn't seem "natural".

The second one "Pippo e la Banda Tris" (from 1962, coded I AT   66-B) 
written by Roberto Catalano is an interesting choice although 
surprising. I wonder why the editors picked just that one, well, don't 
get me wrong, it's a funny story and extremely well-drawn. David?

Anyways, if you don't subscribe already, do remember to buy the coming 
Egmont weekly! :-)
