Description

A extraordinary ensemble piece by Don Rosa featuring his story "The Quest for Kalevala". This illustration was drawn on the title page of the first numbered copy of the Finnish Don Rosa omnibus featuring the aforementioned story and published in 1999. The Finnish setting of the story made this book an immediate sales hit in Finland with 40 000 copies sold within a couple of months. Since then, this book has been reprinted at least 11 times. The first printing was accompanied by this leatherbound run of 100 copies; of these, the first 20 contained unique full-figure, colored drawings by Don.

WOW!! This is awesome!! BIG Congratulations! This picture was missing from the dealer's add. I was thinking about this set of books for years, never pulled the trigger. I should have looked from the Egmont's DRL this picture! Maybe I would have then clicked buy it now ;-))
