Klondike adventures

[pieter]

question: is it possible to make an album with the Klondike adventures of Uncle Scrooge. For example D 2021-166. It's also called the young McDuck Years.

At the moment I am reading them in the Dutch Donald Duck but I would like an album with these very nice stories.

I'm not sure I fully understand what you are asking for. But if you are asking for a list, here is one: inducks.org/subseries.php?c=The+McDuck+Journals

I have seen that list on Inducks. It's how I knew there are more year one stories about Scrooge. My suggestion is to collect all these kind of stories into one publication, perhaps in de Disney Masters serie.

They have been collected in Finnish and German so far.

Wait, they haven't been "collected" in French, have they? Just printed in batches in Picsou.

Yes, they collected the Klondike ones in a Picsou, the Scottish ones in another one and so on... As far as I know, it hasn't been published a comprehensive volume with all the stories yet.

Not yet, no. But there are plans!

Oh, that's great to hear!! Now if I can only get my hands on the volume(s) once they are issued....

If Fantaggraphics ever publishes a book with these stories, I hope they will do so once it's finished. Korhonen is still making several new chapters every year. Btw, this series had so much potential, but it really bugs me that it often contradicts Rosa's works. As far as I know, Rota's "The Last Stagecoach To Tucson" is to this day still the only comic taking place in Scrooge's past that was created after the publication of the original 12 chapters of the Lo$ saga and does not contradict the Lo$ in any way.

I should point out that the elements contradicting Rosa's stories are, to a large extent deliberate. Here's an excerpt fom the interview Korhonen gave me for Picsou Magazine:

Me: How important is it to you to stay “faithful” to those elements you borrow from Barks or Rosa? Do you think of your stories as belonging to the same continuity as “The Life and Times?”



Korhonen: I try and be as faithful as I can, yet not make myself a slave to what has been said before; not only by Mr. Rosa and Mr. Barks, but dozens of other writers as well. Please think of Scrooge McDuck as the greatest explorer that ever lived. A man like that has many, many biographers, each bound to concentrate of different things, find out new facts and bring their own viewpoint into the fabled life. No two biographies are the same; there may be discrepancies and even a rumor or two reported, but it all adds up to a full picture.

I can understand Mr. Korhonen. It's all about the stories you want to tell and want to read. There will alway be some differences with stories by Barks and Rosa.
