===After Barks=== During the ten years that followed his creator's retirement the character made infrequent appearances, appearing only in four comic book stories. He was not nearly as recognizable as other rivals of Scrooge, like Italian sorceress [[Magica De Spell]], who appeared far more often. Flintheart returned to prominence in 1979, when [[Egmont Group|Egmont]] editors Lars Bergström and [[Stefan Printz-Påhlson]] decided to revive the character. Since then, Flintheart Glomgold has appeared in more than 100 Egmont stories, some of which depict him as an influential member of Duckburg's [[Donald Duck universe#Millionaires' club|Billionaires Club]] (which also includes Scrooge and [[John D. Rockerduck]]). [[File:Slackjaw Snorehead.jpg|thumb|Flintheart Glomgold and his nephew Slackjaw Snorehead.]] In Werner Wejp-Olsen and [[Daniel Branca]]'s 1981 comic book story "The Top Treasure in Town", Flintheart's grandfather, Stoneheart Glomgold, who in 1870 worked as a [[hansom cab]] driver in London, is introduced. In [[John Lustig]] and [[Vicar (comics)|Vicar's]] comic book story "Family of Fore" (2001) it is stated that Flintheart and Scrooge are both distantly related to the then-deceased Scottish golf enthusiast Bogey McDivot. McDivot has only been mentioned in that story. In Lars Jensen and Vicar's 2002 comic book story "Happy Birthday, Flintheart Glomgold", Glomgold's nephew, Slackjaw Snorehead, is introduced. Slackjaw is a genial [[slacker]]; very friendly and cheerful as well as a genius with a talent for business. He prefers to hang around with his friends and do nothing all day rather than use his intellect productively, which is infuriating to Glomgold. In the English translation, Slackjaw at times uses South African slang (e.g. howzit or brasse). In Lars Jensen and [[Marco Rota]]'s 2005 story "The Glomgold Heritage", Flintheart's father, Brickheart Glomgold, and mother appeared briefly. It is also revealed in this story that Flintheart's grandfather, Stoneheart, was a Scotsman who moved to London and later on, together with his son Brickheart, traveled to South Africa after being wrongly accused for theft. From this experience, the Glomgolds learned that the world was unfair and cruel, and that they had to look out for themselves even if that meant acting outside the law. In the 1988 ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' comic book story "The Smart Nephew" by [[Bob Gregory (comics)|Bob Gregory]], Cosme Quartieri, and Jorge Sanchez, another nephew of Glomgold appears: the smart and brave Junior.
