---*< Scanner's Comments And Rants >*---

That chapter was done before the 12 part serie the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. 
The publisher liked it so much that he put it on a shelf and asked Don Rosa to do 
the 12 part serie. As soon as the serie was all done and published, he released it 
in North America (Europe had it one year earlier). 

Oh, in case you didn't notice, Don Rosa always add a D.U.C.K somewhere on his covers 
and on the 1st pic of page one of a story. It is like a where is charlie game :}

Some are very easy to find, some are real hard. D.U.C.K. stands for Dedicated to 
Uncle Carl from Keno (the artist real name is Keno Don Rosa) and we all know that 
Carl is Carl Barks, the creator of Uncle $crooge

This issue D.U.C.K is half a duck :}

Yet another quality release by the Comics Copying Authority, or CCA.
We sacrifice diskspace for quality. If that's something you feel is wrong,
perhaps you should reconsider getting our stuff...
Distribution is encouraged as long as it's for free. I'm putting them up 
without charge. You should be able to download it for the same price.
That also means *NO FRIGGIN RATIO SITES*!!

dedicated FTP :)

to put in some time to scan those comics, we want to hear from YOU! You can 
find us on IRC on efnet in #comicshop.

Greets go out to Cooper, FYWP, Mr. Faust, Biggy Boy and the rest of the CCA.

---*< CCA Philosophy >*---

The intention of the CCA is not to rip off creators!
If you enjoy a book that we've scanned, please buy the original or support
the creators' current material!

Why we're doing this:

To preserve comics -- paper may rot but digital is forever.
To give those people who don't read comics a taste of what they're missing.
To expose comic fans to books that they'd otherwise just pass by.
To combat the speculative collectables market that makes some books
  impossible to get or ridiculously priced.  Speculation has done nothing
  but tarnish comics and led the industry onto the path of self-destruction.
  Multiple copies of the same comic all sealed up in plastic are all just
  so much worthless paper.  Alternate covers and interiors don't do
  anything but sucker fans and dilute quality.  Tell 'em NO and spend that
  $ on a different book.
