Sequels of Barkses stories you'd like to have seen

[Hector]

Not necessarily by Don Rosa, but i think he was the most suitable one to have made them...
-7 Cities of Cibola: The way Barkses story ended was lame. I'd like a story where the ducks
rediscover the city and, maybe, their memories come back, little by little.
-Secret of Atlantis: A story where the ducks go back there, for whatever reason. I'd like to
see how the residents would treat them after realizing that the ducks kept their secret.

[RobbK1]

"The Land Beneath The Ground" - Scrooge has to return to Terry-Fermy when new mining he is doing again jeopardises The Terries' and Fermies' lifestyle, and he must again decide between adding vast wealth to his fortune, or save his underground friends.


"The Old Castle's Secret" - The current Whiskervilles' patriarch uses illegal means to legally challenge Uncle Scrooge's ownership of Dismal Downs.  Scrooge has more to lose than just the property, and must fight to keep it, or forever after bemoan his "poverty" in the aftermath of his loss of it.


"Back To The Klondike" - Goldie visits Scrooge, enticing him to return to Dawson, for his "own good" (as a ruse to get him to help her out of some trouble).  He ends up helping her, and becoming richer, by accident, by having given up a chance to gather forgotten old wealth that had been his, in order to save her.

"The Horseradish Story" - Chisel McSue, arrives back in Duckburg with a World Court judgement showing that he owns The entire Planet, Earth.  Scrooge fights him, when he tries to confiscate Scrooge''s property.

"The Flipism Story" - Professor Batty, under a new false name, and in disguise, has another scam going, to fool the public on a new, completely irrational way of life.  This time, Fethry drags Donald into the con man's tent, to try to get him to change his lifestyle by buying The Professor's book, and following him to a "new life community, of which he is the leader, and Fethry is his special helper.  In the end, after a lot of bad things happen to him, and a lot of public embarrassment, Donald chases both Professor Batty and Fethry.

"The Secret of Atlantis", Scrooge is exploring the deep ocean for minerals, when he again encounters the "fish people".  He ends up spending money to fight pollution by his fellow billionaire businessmen, to save those people's habitat. He wins the Mobel Prize for Protecting The Environment, which angers his business competitors, because it makes them pay higher taxes, and it helps him, as their customers change to buying McDuck Industry Ocean Products, after he becomes known as the "Friend of The Oceans".

"The Golden Fleecing" - Magica DeSpell teams up with Colchis' Larkies to kidnap Uncle Scrooge, and they force feed him Parsnip pudding until he gets so sick he gives in and hands his Old #1 Dime to her.  Huey, Dewey and Louie befriend The Sleepless Dragon, who puts all The Larkies on "the hot seat" (gives them), and grabs the dime away from Magica, from a distance, with his long tongue, rescuing it for Scrooge, just as Magica was de-materialising (vanishing). teleporting herself to Mount Vesuvius.

"The Mystery of The Swamp" - Donald, fed up with the horrible Arctic winter Duckburg is having (15 feet of snow on the ground, weekly blizzards and sub-zero temperatures, buys a house in Florida, online(before seeing it in person)), from a sleazy real estate salesman, just from looking at its photographs.  He drags his nephews with him to the new development which abuts The Everglades' National Park, after being placed on land that was recently taken away from the park, and sold to land developers.  The Ducks find that their new neighbours are The Gneezles, who are combatants against ANY Humans who are encroaching into their shrinking territory.  After The Gneezles recognise Donald and his nephews as the people who had brought them hicky Hillbilly dance music in their previous meeting, they tell them how the new developments and encroaching population are ruining their lives.  The Ducks join The Gneezles fight (adopting Hillbilly Gneezle clothing and tactics, and help them scare the developers and new residents away.

"The Mummy's Ring"- Uncle Scrooge is in Central Egypt, with his nephews, touring his museum's archaeological digs used to make new finds which he donates to The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but he has full rights to show them exclusively in his "Ancient Egypt Land" theme recreation park in Duckburg for the first five years after they are discovered.  Scrooge's excavators get too close to The Bey of El Dagga's territory.  His anciently-clad soldiers grab all 5 of The Ducks, and, after finding out that Scrooge is the wealthiest man in The World, The Bey holds Scrooge for ransom.  He demands that his territory be made a sovereign nation, and his borders respected as being separate from Egypt, and that The Egyptian Museum must return items it had taken from "The Valley of The Pharaohs".  The Egyptian Government, through their Museum Administrator, negotiate with The Bey, but they can't agree.  Egyptian soldiers fight with The Bey's anciently armed soldiers in a battle,but it is fought to a draw (standstill).  Scrooge intervenes, getting them to reach an agreement that satisfies all parties.

These are ALL stories I plan to write, script and draw the storyboard drawings.  So, I have not gone into much detail, for fear that another writer might steal them.

Perhaps you could've given some explanation instead of just listing them.

-A christmas for Shacktown: I think it would be hard to make a sequel of this, but it would be possible, because my question is "what is happening after Shacktown is safe? What will happen next christmas? Will they have a good christmas next year too?". I don't think that Rosa would be a good writer for this sequel, because he shows us a much softer, a much nicer $crooge, than Barks shows him to us in e. g. "A christmas for Shacktown"!

Yes… the fact that Scrooge never really changes his ways and is just forced to give money to Shacktown is one of the reasons that story isn't on my personal favourites list. A little while ago, I imagined an altered version of Gyro's First Invention that would have fixed this; where instead of living with Donald and HDL, the impoverished Scrooge would have temporarily moved to Shacktown, where having to share the paupers' lifestyle would have changed his views on them. This could have been the start of the secret "McDuck Foundation" seen in some Italian stories, and bam! Instant continuity!

I absolutely agree about 7 Cities of Cibola. When I heard that title I though its some amazing epic long adventure and then when I read it it was like a half finished product, left me feeling like a whole great adventure should have happened but never really started. Like them going to xanadu or plain awful, a real adventure and not just staring at some rocks and then everything collapses and heroes go home.

I have always wanted to see a spiritual sequel to Vacation Time
.

Objectively spekaing, the main difference is that Cibola is actually a lost city — a long-forgotten ruin of a dead people. Meanwhile, Xanadu and Plain Awful were both still inhabited.

Of course, still I always felt a lot was left unsaid and that there was much more potential for story development

Oh, but I agree with you. I think the "supernatural" aspect was missing.

Not cool. That would be a repetition of ''Back to Klondike'' plot.
Anyway, i was always sad about the way Scrooge's and Goldie's love ended. I'd like to imagine them in the afterlife, young again and together,
enjoying the love they were deprived of in this world. I'd like to see that in a story. Not a story where it actually happens, since that would
ruin the feathery universes fabric, but i'd love it if it was implied somehow that, after their death, they will be together, like Adam and Eve in
heaven.

Can't say I'm a fan of Barks sequels, but I'd like to see an effective reuse of Chisel McSue, possibly the shabbiest and meanest Barks villain of them all. He has been used by some later authors, but never to much avail.

[Scrooge MacDuck]

I would be tempted to say "Atlantis", on the condition that the story just explores the modern-day, underwater Atlantian society and doesn't go into its history, because there way too many Disney comics about that already. 

I'd also like to see a sequel to Ancient Persia.

[mcquack]

It would be neat to follow-up on some of the more-forgotten later Barks adventures such as 'Hall of the Mermaid Queen,' or maybe a follow-up to 'King Scrooge the First' where Scrooge and the boys mentally go back in time once again.
