I don't have the Danish version, but in the Swedish version, the 
rune-o-meter is used, and the rune-o-meter is written in a special font. The 
translator has done a very well work translating the story. It seems to be 
very good, but I haven't read the whole story yet (the issue containing the 
last part has not been published yet), so I don't know about this particular 
panel you mentioned. The last part will be published next Friday in Sweden. 
Is it true that a page is missing from the book, or was it just something 
you invented? The only bad thing is the colouring of the story. Why can't 
Egmont do as good colouring as the French publishers?
