[Fernando Ventura]

Hi Luca!

> I find your message only now, and surely someone just answered you...
Thank You! :)
I received an answer privately from Paolo Castagno too...thanks to both!

Me:
> > Ok, here I go again...I really like the Caballeros...

Oh my good, it's really true! I watched the movie in portugues, english,
french and spanish!!! And I really wants to watch it one day in italian,
dutch, finish... ;)

Luca again:

This story is published in Brazil just on Pato Donald 15, in 1951...and when
Abril makes a reprint of Pato Donald's 24 firsts numbers, "Anos de Ouro do
Pato Donald" in 1988 this story appear again in Brazil. It is a 5 tier
version, with 20 pages. I just know the reprint in WDC&S because I saw the
cover on the Akku Anka with Don's "Caballeros Rides Again".

Thanks to my friend Paolo I will get this issue of Zio Paperone! :)
I'm anxious to see this "uncut" version, and the  Alberto article...!

I'm sure it's a great story! :)
As I said before, Panchito's serapè really doens't makes me to have an
atack! :)

Probably I will try to get this issue too! Any panel by brazilian artists?
As You know, the brazilian artists did some Caballeros around here!
I just LOVE to read articles about Disney Comics!!! It's REALLY a shame that
we don't have many things like this here... :(

Fernando!
