DANIEL:

| I've a question about that Celestial Arts book "Uncle Scrooge - His 
| Life and Times". Can someone tell me exactly what the contents of the 
| book are?

The contents are:

  - Back to the Klondike
  - Trouble from long ago
  - Tralla La
  - The seven cities of Cibola
  - The lemming with the locket
  - Land beneath the ground
  - The second richest duck
  - Land of the Pygmy Indians
  - Island in the sky
  - The many faces of Magica de Spell
  - Micro-Ducks from outer space
  - Go slowly sands of time

I'd say the book is very worth buying (at least for about $50, which
I paid for it...). The colours are quite special, as you probably know
already. Two of the stories contain material that hadn't been  published 
before this book was published the first time -- "Back to the Klondike"
and "Land beneath the ground."
The earlier censored parts of the Klondike story have been published 
quite a lot of places later, but I haven't seen the art from the other
story anywhere else. It's mostly some alternative art which Barks 
redrew. 

The book also contains a long interview with Barks, and some other 
textpieces (by George Lucas, among others), and an index of the 
American Uncle Scooge magazine. There is also a literature list, if
I don't remember wrong.

I saw the book in a comic shop here in Oslo about half a year ago, and
I saw a quite cheap used one in another, but that one disappeared 
quite soon.
