But they are followed by Flintheart Glomgold who also wants to buy the rights to export those eggs... Interesting facts: This story was the first long Don Rosa story to be published in Scandinavia. This story is the only sequel to a Barks-classic that Gladstone asked Don Rosa to do. They asked him that because Barks made a oil painting "Return to Plain Awful" witch showed Uncle Scrooge in Plain Awful - a scene that could only be explained by another expedition.
