Hepcat Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 A few more and I'll be halfway to the 1-100 run. You should make that 1 - 263 anyway. That way you'll have all the Dells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the original plan, but I found myself buying issues I really didn't care for. I still have some lovely high grade copies with favourite Barks covers in tha longer run, but my others were sold a little while ago-not without a little pang of regret though.

I'd rather not be a completist of issues I'm iffy about... plus, I need the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hadn't bought a Scrooge book in some time, having completed 1- 71 a few years ago now. But I was inspired by tb's fabulous MMMs to chase up some upgrades. The 20s were my weakest 'decade', so I've been looking for nicer copies of some of those. These ones were too good to pass on: My undercopy of #26 has been gracefully retired to the pastures of Undercopy Manor. I think the Dell Scrooges are still my favourite comics of all time.

Badger Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I think the Dell Scrooges are still my favourite comics of all time. Scrooge is my favorite Disney icon without doubt. I lost my inventory list of my Uncle Scrooges and so I haven't been buying in the last couple of years. I need to get off my duff, pull the boxes out, and reinventory. I get to play in my Disney boxes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 One of the things I love doing is reading the Barks stories from the original editions. When reading through my new #26, I recalled something I've been meaning to ask about here. Everyone knows that the opening scene to Raiders of the Lost Ark comes from the 7 Cities of Cibola story in U$ #7, right? But has anyone else spotted this scene in the Temple of Doom? (Scan from U$ #211) It's recreated fairly faithfully in the movie. So my question is whether there is a Barks scene in the third or fourth Indiana Jones movies? It's been many years since I suffered through the third and I couldn't bring myself to see the fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing reading your vastly inferior undercopy Has Spielberg ever been called on this? As to other similarities, Scrooge has always been on quests, so it's sort of natural the narratives would have a little in common. Holy Grail (Last Crusade) I don't think Barks tackled, Crystal Skulls I'm not so sure about . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did that one come from? Astouding. Off to Wonder Con on Friday for half the day, walking over from work after lunch to meet Busted Flush and another old friend in the business. Should be fun. Sounds like it might be a quiet show too; will make it easy to spend some time looking at great old books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
