It was about time! – I hope they restart to publish so much of our italian classics which have never seen the light in USA.

But are these licensed? I always wondered why Disney never took the effort to effectively pubish comics, after the "so-so" 1990s period when they did.

 

Also

The new IDW titles including Donald, Mickey, and Scrooge will be #1s, but will continue their classic legacy number inside the issues.

 

And that is good… :)

It appears Donald Duck #1 will feature the very first Disney story fully written and drawn by Romano Scarpa, "Paperino e i Gamberi in Salmì" (originally published in 1956): http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++132-AP

An absolute classic, and probably one of the leading motives that turned me to "serious comics collecting" when I was about 16 years old in 1985.

It has been translated as "Shelfish motives", using a word pun. The original title is something like "Donald Duck and the stew shrimps".

 

It is also a first appearance, of Gedeone De' Paperoni ("Gideon McDuck"), a brother of Scrooge: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Gideon_McDuck which was sporadically used since then.

 

I will see if I can manage to scan a copy of the original edition from my collection, and also of the very first collected edition which is from 1961 and parodies the cover of classic thriller and detective novels covers. :cloud9:

 

Also: will they keep the fire gun laid on the table in the first panel?

That is more or less like "gay" Bobby Drake. :sorry:

 

This element was already discussed in Italy in the 1990s, when Disney applied this censorship in USA (already during the 1980s) and when I interviewed Scarpa I asked him a specific question about this.

 

He said that the direction was not to have the character using fire weapons anymore – not that he agreed – he ultimately said that when he could, he always "slipped a gun in Mickey’s hands". And since he was a legend, they always let him get away with most of his choices. :cool:
