Popular Post Kromak Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 When the US Uncle Scrooge series started for real, from issue number 4 in 1953, unlike the Disney Four Color covers, the covers that Barks produced were unrelated to the inner Scrooge McDuck stories. However, on far away lands, some people thought it was worthy to produce covers related to the underline stories, many times originally drawn Let's take as example the US Uncle Scrooge n°25: As can be seen, the cover above is unrelated to the inner story, the classic "The Flying Dutchman" However, some covers were made abroad related to it. In 1963, on its second publication on Italy, this one was produced: On Brazil, on its second publication, on Brazilian Uncle Scrooge n°62, from 1970, this one was created: One year after that, an Australian publication introduced its own cover: Finally, the last 70's cover, on its third republication in Brazil, on issue 174 from BR Uncle Scrooge series, from 1978, a new cover was done: Entering the 80's, we start to see a difference in which kind of comics would use the new covers. So far, the covers mentioned here were for issues of traditional series. Netherlands would change that in 1981, introducing the its own cover for a special series dedicated to Barks stories: Four years latter, the US published its first related cover: ..made by Barks referring to its own painting: Now in 1987, Germany introduced a new cover. Not made from scratch, this time reusing some Barks art: Now we skip another three years, arriving in 1990, the year most publications with related covers were made. On Denmark, a new original cover was made for a bound volume of best Donald stories: ...which was also used on its equivalent Norwegian publication: To finish the 1990's publications, Finland reused the 1985 US cover: Finally, a year latter, already 32 years after the story was originally introduced, a fully original cover was made for its fifth publication in the US, this time in the regular US Uncle Scrooge series, breaking the 80's trend of using the covers on special volumes dedicated to Barks: There might be more covers introduced after 1991, but that's left as an exercise to the reader Bigphatpaulie, dikran, Tri-Color Brian and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 years ago Dolgoff was selling a complete collection of Junior Woodchucks. I couldn’t afford it at the time and tried to get my Dad to go in half with me. He declined at the time but now he wishes we had pulled the trigger on them. Just think, we could have compiled our own Junior Woodchuck Handbook!

Probably not too rare except in high grade and maybe the later issues when distribution got spotty. Jasonmorris1000000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 Not exactly a "duck" but this new arrival certainly qualifies I think. A recent pick up. I have numerous books from the files and estates of notable creators. Have never been able to procure one from the "Duck Man" himself until now. A side note, it is from my friend Jerry Weist's collection. A fellow EC and comic fan that I corresponded to for years before his untimely death. This book hits on all cylinders for me and so glad to have it. Shazbot, BitterOldMan, 50YrsCollctngCmcs and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Great stuff Bob. I have one of Barks' books as well - an Uncle Scrooge #56. I don't think I can show it here and I really wish it was in a CGC slab instead, but here's the COA.

Although not a “Pedigree” it is noted as being from the Barks estate on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimjum12 Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 (edited) This, while not a Barks cover, has always been a favorite cover(Kelly) and I rarely see a decent one. I'm sure they're out there, maybe not enough motivation to sell? GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ...I've always had a soft spot for Snow White and The Little Dudes ... saw it at the theatre as a wee lad ... back in the days when the World was still full of happy endings. I even had, as an instructor, one of the original Disney Gang, his name was Milt. Cool as could be.

I've yet to score any of the Dwarf covers in this era though I am always bidding on them and trying to find a good one.
