Well, the last twelve issues of Uncle Scrooge have had Rosa back covers celebrating the 60th anniversary of FC 178. That would be issues 372-383. Given the great public service you've done with your list (thank you - I've been meaning to do that for ages), I'll volunteer to list the themes. I'll get to it later today.

Kudos to Mio for shipping a great book to me in the Antipodes. He didn't mention that it had a name in pen on the title page though. Darn that 'Al Feldstein' guy...

Thanks to pointfive and esquirecomics for making my first two forum purchases fuss free and successful transactions. Grading was spot on.
