* His place in the Barks/Rosa stories universe
:
Pakubuwana IX, Sultan of Solo,
appears in "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark", in 1883, in Java,
where the Sultan of Djojka wants to buy
the longhorns Scrooge bred in Montana and brought to Java sailing on the
Cutty
Sark, so that he'll beat him in the Kerapan Sapi, the
annual bull-race on the island of Madura. But the Sultan of Solo steals
Scrooge's longhorns. Scrooge finally catches him up. The two sultans of
Java seem to be speechless, so they use a sign language, and are translated
by "emitters-of-verbal-speech". Their names and faces are based
on authentic data that exist only in traveling stories of the time, which
Don Rosa found looking through the archives of a local university.
