selegue Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 THANKS! I really like that one -- Kelly (right?), unusual (but not unprecedented) combination of characters, rich brown background. Dopey got used more as a solo character than the other 6 dwarves, didn't he? I wonder why. Most appeal to kids? Very Harpo Marx-like on this cover.

shiverbones Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 it's one of my fave Kellys as well. The brown is so nice, and as you say, I also stands out for being a Dopey cover. He was more marketed in everything, he even got a Pez dispenser! I guess they thought he had the most appeal, and they are probably right. I think all 3 dwarf cover WDCs are masterpieces.

tb Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Congrats, shiver. Have you seen the original Kelly cover to #45 in the Heritage auction (92123)? I noticed some fun details on it that I'd never seen before - like the drumsticks for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just picked up a couple more Mobil giveaways. In this picture, the upper one is a (badly cut) Australian edition - not too unusual in these cheaply-produced comics. The story is a cut-down version of the ten-pager in WDC&S 86. The lower part of the pic is from the interior of the NZ edition. The covers and stories are essentially the same, although the NZ one has eight pages of puzzles and games in the middle, all untouched (yay!). I thought I'd show you how they cut down these stories to fit into less than seven equivalent pages. In the WDC&S original, there is a sequence where Donald rushes out nude and HD&L have to remind him to go back and put clothes on. (Only the top half of course, which is better than being naked because...? ) The dialogue in the original is (Come back) (and put your clothes on) (before you get arrested). You can see here how a different letterer has changed the dialogue to allow that sequence to be cut out and the story to more or less flow. The other reason for posting that particular page is that it allows me to include that great panel of DD running with the axe. It looked even better reworked to include a fire engine going the other way for the Barks Library slipcase. It looks less good on the cover reworked by an inferior artist for this edition. Cheers from Oz. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
