Interesting facts: |
The first Disney-story Don Rosa ever did. It is based upon an old Pertwillaby Papers story. On page 3, panel 3 Don Rosa shows a part of the treasure of King Croesus 8 years before he did "The Treasure of Croesus", he says: "I placed that display of Croesus' treasure in the museum in "The Son of the Sun" for two reasons. First, I had something different in that panel which Byron asked me to remove - it was a freezer with a window in it showing it contained the Bombastium ball. To fill the emptied panel I stuck in a treasure that I planned to do a story about. Was there a reference for it? In "Back to Long Ago" $crooge daydreams of the two greatest treasures of antiquity that he hoped to find -- King Solomon's Mines and the Treasury of Croesus. Barks never let him find the second one, but 8 years after "The Son of the Sun" I finally did a story, "The Treasury of Croesus", where that happened." |
