Waitasec - I knew about Gedeone (Gideon McDuck?) for a while having heard of 
him once or twice. BUT I was always under the impression that William Van 
Horn made Rumpus Scrooge's COUSIN and NOT brother. Kind of like Donald is to 
Gladstone as Scrooge is to Rumpus so to speak....

Not to mention that Rumpus' last name is McFowl and not McDuck which would 
be the case if they were brothers. ;)

Where is teh Van Horn family tree anyway...

Agreed - I LOVED Fecchi's style and was rather dissapointed to NOT see one 
in the latest DDA pocket book. I felt it had such a new and different feel 
from thr rather blase panel look that you see in some stories. Just because 
that works for Rosa and Barks and Van Horn doesnt mean that everybody has to 
emulate that style. It is a matter of taste. It was very easy to follow 
without being ludicrous and overboard and had beautiful detail IMO. I was 
personally VERY pleasantly surprised and I'd love to see more of his work 
again.

i preferred his stories printed in #1 much more than Luck Of The Duck and 
The Knucklehead Stone. Same goes for the Mickey Mouse - I highly preffered 
"Panicky Pachyderm" as opposed to "Postal Panic" be honest. It all comes 
down to taste. =\
