Timing is everything. Gladstone was amazed and overjoyed in the summer of 1998 when the staff realized that the highly unlikely, precise and coincidental time had arrived to reprint "Micro-Ducks From Outer Space." The lovable little ducks from Micro are spacemen who first arrive by flying saucer through a broken window in Scrooge McDuck's money bin in 1966. The following explanation appears on the Contents page of USA in Color #53: "This album's cover commemorates the arrival exactly thirty-two years ago of Captain Micron and his crew in the pages of Uncle Scrooge #65, published in September 1966. Since it takes the Micron ship eight years to make a round trip between its home planet and earth, the tiny spacemen will have gone and come back four times since their initial visit. As you see from the book in your hands [when you look on the title page], they're just now back in town.
"May they keep returning to trade for wheat and corn, and may they find, as they did the first time, that not all earthmen are crooks and monsters."
The dimunitive Micro-Ducks are due back next in 2006.
