Weird Paper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have the art for WDC+S #11. You can see that the page encouraged the image to be too horizontal, and that some changes had to be made for the vertical format of the cover. The art and published cover are attached. Richard Who is the artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senormac Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've never seen that cover before !! Oh, I prob have.....but it never regestered like it does now that you post up this pic for it. Thats a great cover !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have issue 13 and it also has a very funky cover. Not at all like the later covers. Issues 11-14 all seems a little off the game by comparison to the other covers before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A lot of great posts over the last few days. I too love Bronty's avatar - WDCS 69 has got to be in the top 3 among the Kelly covers. YK: fantastic stuff - thanks a lot for sharing. I have seen similar art for a number of Mickey Mouse Magazine coves (see link below) but never for a WDCS. I wouldn't be surprised if #11 is unique in this respect since it is the only one I can think of that was inspired by a short(?)... http://comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=172440&GSub=40439 NR: Thanks, I had never seen this picture and it's a bit of a puzzle to me. The art looks the same as the original except some of the longer straight lines outlining the room do not appear in the art I have. There is another reproduction of the B/W art in the new CBSW (vol. V) that does not have these lines. They also appear to be missing in the photo of Barks signing the art that I posted earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Not to disagree but 12 is a typical gag cover (car in water) but 11 13 14 are more oddball scenic. I've never even understood the gag for issue 10. Link to issue 10 cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like #11's cover a lot, especially in hand because the colors are unusual, and very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never even understood the gag for issue 10. Link to issue 10 cover I agree, I can not figure #10 out But why should it be a gag? #10 is one of my absolute favorites because it's such a simple, iconic image of my top Duck. #3 is not funny either but it's probably the best cover in the entire run. I agree #11 is cool because it is so different, but it's too busy and confusing to be classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with #3, it's not meant to be a gag, and is great. #10 leads me to think it is supposed to be a gag, but just isn't coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The gag seems to be either that he's dissatisfied with his puny firecrackers and has decided to move on to the cannon, or else that his firecrackers are fizzling out and he's going to use his last one to set off the cannon? Actually I don't really get it either. But I think it is supposed to be a gag due to the cannon being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what I saw when I looked at the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
