Revelations about the Phantom of Notre-Duck

[Scrooge MacDuck]

Apparently, a new installment in the Fantomius comic saga was published in Italy in May. I've still yet got to see it, but apparently they finally expounded upon the hints given in earlier stories that the Phantom of Notre Duck was John Quackett/Fantomius's brother and the original engineer who built Notre-Duck. His name is revealed as Henry Quackett. The story apparently shows that his Scrooge-like face shown in the Barks story was itself actually another mask, and his appearance face has yet to be revealed. Again, I haven't read the story myself (yet!) but apparently it's full of revelations, including something having to do with Atlantis (whether the same Atlantis as in Barks, I have yet to find out) and Henry Quackett having spent tim there.

What are your thoughts on all this? Has someone here read the story?

Sounds like an excellent idea.

I imagine it'll be the same Atlantis as Barks, as the Fantomius stories, while with an obvious Italian flavour, are very heavily set and working from Rosa's depiction of Duckburg.

Personally I quite like these stories and the setting they're exploring and how they're doing it, they're some of my favourite in recent years.
