Interesting facts: |
The two first chapters of Lo$ were published in an extra enclosure to DD&Co in Norway and AA&Co in Denmark. Such extra magazines are very seldom enclosed with KA&Co in Sweden, so the two first chapters were actually skipped in Sweden, leaving chapter 3 as the first part of the saga. The first two chapters were eventually also published in Sweden in the 1997 hardcover book. Don Rosa did a special cover for the Norwegian news-paper Aftenposten's Saturday-magazine "A-Magasinet" #43/1992 which also included a large article/interview with Don Rosa about the Lo$ series. |
