I am looking for a copy of _The Adventures of Captain Kentucky_ by Don Rosa. It was a strip he did after _The Pertwillaby Papers_, using the same main character. I have tried [half.com](http://half.com), ebay, [amazon.com](http://amazon.com), and [powellsbooks.com](http://powellsbooks.com), but have come up empty handed. ---

I’ve got the three issue collection of all 150 episodes (the third issue signed and numbered by Don). But I ain’t parting with them (well, maybe if offered a reasonably obscene amount… :)). ---

I know that it exists in that form, a single soft cover edition and a single hard cover edition, but just can’t fine them. ---

I’m not a Rosa fan, but searching, I see a Norweigian publisher [printed](http://www.gazette.no/donrosa/) a collection of his _Captain Kentucly_ works. (For some reason, Donald Duck comics- of which Rosa is one of the major artists of- are very big in Scandinavia.) ---

Very nicely bound, printed in English. ---

I own the ones you are looking for, but they have sentimental value. Would copied or scanned pages be of use to you? ---

[QUOTE=well he’s back] I own the ones you are looking for, but they have sentimental value. Would copied or scanned pages be of use to you? [/QUOTE] Thank you for the offer, but personal ethics preclude me from accepting photocopies of material that still might be available in the marketplace.
