I just discovered that not only is there made a comic from this story - D 6856, 
script Tom Anderson/art Vicar - but it's reprinted in Scandinavian Donald Duck 
weeklies 48-2003!

As only the plot comes from Barks, there's no special notice about this 
anywhere in or around the magazine (at least not in Norway). Normally the 
frontpage is decorated with "Containing Barks classic" in huge letters - that's 
not the case in this case. Anyhow - I think this is the best Duck comic I've 
read in many years, so I thought I could might as well mention it here (in case 
anyone here does not buy the weekly regularly). This story is, in my opinion, 
really _great_.
