- D 98045 : "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark" (Lo$#3b), from 1998, by Don Rosa.

 

* His biography :
     Very poor information can be found about this character, on the web...
   He was the Sultan of Solo from 1861 to 1893.

* 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.
