L.GORI:

> The Barks' scketch that inspired Romano Scarpa for his story "Zio
> Paperone e il casco d'oro" is lost.

Are you sure about that? Harry once showed me a French comic in which
the sketch was shown (at least a different version of the one published
in Gladstone). Maybe that's the original sketch by Barks?

HARRY:

Isn't there a French explanation published with the sketch which might
tell about it's source? Maybe you can write the French text here, so
that someone can translate it?

Greetings,

Hello...

What a small world! Yes, I was with that group between late Dec 1973 -
Jun 1974. I believe that FSU still runs that study program and the
archeological dig for Etruscan artifacts at Cetamura. I accompanied Prof.
Reich and a wayward group of Classics majors to Athens and Crete as well.
It was a most interesting and fun time, which I recall with great fondness!

It's true that, as you say, no person is all good or all bad. But the
story, especially a comic story, usually is very clear who is good and who
is evil. Somebody else here stated awhile back, in a different context,
that comics don't follow "real life." This is true: our heroes are the
guys in the white hats, and they are heroes if they kill the bad guys in
the black hats. Nobody asks if they drunks, or cowards, or beat their
kids when they get home. That is a different story with a different kind
of hero and a different mission.

In any case, I've used protagonist to mean "hero" to differentiate that
character from the antagonist or villainess, Magica. Barks and other
writers clearly intend her to be the evil character in those stories.

Hope this clarifies matters.

Regards,

Melanie

Hello all,

Some time ago, Pat Block signed Donald Duck Adventures #27 (hmmm, must be
almost a year) at a local store here. I think it's his first story. I've
noticed that the owner has some on the racks at cover price. If anyone is
interested, I'm willing to pick some up and trade (the equivalent value is
about $2 American including postage I guess.)

I'd especially like Don's Wendingo story & English script.

I'll be off-line for about a week for the holidays, but email me directly
and I'll get back to you in early January. If you're really interested,
catch me tomorrow before noon which is when I have to go back.
(Snow-delayed shipments. :-( )

Happy holidays to all!

Mike Rhode

Hi All!

DANIEL:
The sketch printed on "Picsou Magazine - 60ø anniversaire de Donald" has a

strange and nearly unbelieavable story... It was the *first* drawing made
by *Romano* for our book, in his modern style, to show us the thing. We
asked him to *find* the original Barks' drawing, to publish it in the book,
but he was not able to get it. So, we decided to publish Scarpa's drawing,
with a caption in wich we said: "Birth of a Brigitta's story, from a Barks'
idea". Romano tried hard to find the original drawing, while the book was
in making, but uselessly. When the book was ready to print, he drew a
*second* sketch, trying to reply exactly the Barks' sketch, with the
original dedication:
"Dear Romano, if you like this idea, you're welcome! C.B.". Romano drew the
*second* sketch in the Barks' style of the mid-sixties. We decided to
publish also this second drawing, very little, with this caption: "The
Barks' IDEA for 'Zio Paperone e il casco d'oro'". This second drawing was
published in the Gladstone comic, with a more explicative caption.

All the best

Leonardo
