I'm not sure this would count because these illustrations refer to the story published in the same issue... But it does not matter, as I previously wrote I have indexed the character anyway!
Next to the Prince of Fogs in the upper left, you can spot the Sleeping Beauty in the Stars! She has odd unusual coloring with blonde hair, red boots and a yellow scepter, but it's her!!
She can be indexed! (as well as the Prince of Fogs himself... he is blue, which is an alternate coloring of him that happens in some printings)

Also, I am surprised that the Prince of Fogs doesn't have an entry on Inducks! He is definitely a character of importance who appears in multiple stories.
He is also known as "Principe delle Nebbie", "Prince des Nuées", "Seigneur des Ténèbres" and "Prince des Ténèbres".

In the current Fantagraphics comics, we call him the Prince of Mists.
To a native English speaker (unlike those who translated the stories for the Digicomics), "Prince of Fogs" sounds incredibly awkward... I'd like to respectfully suggest that "Prince of Mists" be his default English name.

Which is ironic because when I did a fancomic years ago, I called him "Mist Prince" in the English version I did... I didn't know of the official comic localization in English that called him "Prince of Fogs" then. So, in retrospective, I was kinda right all along!
Here is a question I've been curious about for a while. Where do the little preview pictures come from? You know, the ones captioned "This enlargement has been auto-generated, the result may sometimes be unexpected."
I noticed that for stories which I submitted scans for because they didn't have any yet, either no previews were created in the meantime or at least they are simply made up of a panel from the title page.
So how does one submit scans of panels that don't appear on the first page?
One thing I'd like to see in the search engine is an option to search within specific publication titles. We can select stories based on their publication in countries, we can select publications based on their title, but we can't combine the two.
This is unhelpful when, for instance, I want to check which Barks stories were published in the Dutch weekly (nl/DD). I can sort by publication in country, but I'll also get all the comics that were published in an obscure hardcover Barks collection (nl/AKV). Or I want to look up the daily strips that weren't in the weekly, but that also excludes all the gags printed on the calendar (nl/DDKAL).
Would it be possible to add a line to include/exclude publications?
I'm not sure if this question was asked before, but I'm really interested to know what about those stories at Inducks that didn't receive any publications? As for example this one? Does it mean that they're in unfinished state, or were there any other reasons they didn't get published? Maybe someone has any insights?

Swedish Kalle Anka Klassiker often publishes old unused stories found in the Egmont archives. In those cases the editors have simply rejected the finished work and let them collect dust.
In the foreword to the latest issue they attached this picture of the card index containing discarded stories.

Thanks a lot for the info! It's a shame so many stories were discarded. Hopefully, we will see more of them published in the future.
There are many Pujadas stories that didn't get published. I'm especially curious about these two: The Miamami Burglaries and The Biblio Bible, created in '85 and '86.
Edit: Actually, I didn't know he passed away in 11th of January, 2021 due this polish article. Sad news.
I'm going to continue indexing early Lithuanian Mickey Mouse issues since I've been collecting them for a while. Does anyone know how can I upload scanned covers there? Also, there's a Christmas special and Mickey Mystery issue which are not there.
