Anonymous asked: Sorry to bother you, but I keep seeing people talk about story codes for the ducks comics and I was curious, how exactly do those work? Whenever there's a popular screenshot posted of a ducks comic, people are always asking for the story code. What is that? Does it get you the comic? How? Is there a website you're supposed to enter it? I tried googling it, but I couldn't find anything. I've seen you talk about them sometimes though, so I was hoping maybe you could explain?
no problem! those codes are very useful in finding the stories, especially if you’re savvy with the marvel that is I.N.D.U.C.K.S.!That there link’s a quick run down of it and how to use it, and for that anon who wanted to know where to read the original comics here’s my post for that- (also if you lose it just search my blog for ‘links’ and it should pop right up). Combining those two sites = you can find most stories that have been translated into English and published by the US!
Anonymous asked: Unca Mod, can you give us tips on how to find duck stories, please? Also- I'm French, and a lot of the duck comics I read as a kid were translated from Italian, and I'd looove to find them again, but I have no idea if they ever got an English release and if so what were the titles... In any case, thank you so much for what you're doing- I started looking into my old comics again thanks to you and it brought back lots of happy memories :')
Ah, well my friends it is time for me to introduce you to the wonder that is I.N.D.U.C.K.S.
this is an amazing search engine, just for duck comics! here’s an example of how to use it; type in some aspect that you’re looking for (here I’ll use the title of the story)
then you get a list of possible answers- scrolling down I find the one I’m looking for fairly quickly
clicking on the right result takes you to a page for that specific story with all the data available, describing the contents and artists responsible, but if you’re looking for a particular translation keep scrolling down; here I’m looking for the English (US) translation
so with that I know this story appears in number 374 of Uncle Scrooge which was printed in 2008- a quick hop over to readcomiconline and I find it easily
and that’s all there is to it! sometimes the tricky part is which category of comics it will be in on readcomiconline, as there are so many runs of Donald/Scrooge comics. This one was fairly simple, but use your intuition and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for. I hope that helps, and happy hunting!
