In an Italian story, publicated in PM 94, with the code AT 192, but not put in the inducks' database, we can see Arsene, Rockerduck nephew, who looks very much like his uncle and dressed like him. Does he appears in other stories?

Scrooge's Doubles
Message 77 -
2001-03-07 at 19:01:23
Hello!
I'm working on Scrooge's doubles, from all creators.
I'm going to tell you what I've found in my little comics collection. If you know others, please tell me!!
Scrooge McDuck, the Richest Duck in the World, a little peevish and stingy, but we saw on several occasion, especially with a Goldie O'Gilt, that his heart was gold... He has prospered honestly (except one time...). Here are all (?) his doubles...
The first, well known, is John D. Rockerduck, created by our dear Uncle Carl in 1961, and continued by many italian creators... He would have a good heart, without Scrooge. He is a little younger than him , and they first met eachother around 1884, when John's father shows to Scrooge how to search for gold...
The second from Barks,1956, often mistaken with John, is Flintheart "Flinty" Glomgold. Flintheart, living in Limpopo, South America, think HE is the Richest Man, but Scrooge allways beat him in their stupid challenges. He does the same things that Scrooge: He's got a Money Bin, he keeps his first rand..., and he is almost as rich as Scrooge, but this "almost" makes the difference. This double has never acted honestly, since his first meeting with Scrooge, around 1896.
The third, also by Barks 1965, is the fantom of Notre Duck (real name unknown). Under his black clothes, which make me think a little about the Phantom Blot or the Black Knight, he's got EXACTLY the same face than Scrooge. He is good. He buids a reproduction of the Cathedral with the coins thrown in the fountain.
I consider the DonRosa's D93574 Scrooge when Donald doesn't exist, as a double from another parallel dimension. (I dunno if somebody has seen the episode of "Buffy against the Vampires". This episode was a sequel from another episode in witch Cordelia had wiched that Buffy never went to sunnydale, so every characters become vampires, but Buffy returns back in time and changed the vow, so everything become normal. In this episode, we discover that it exists a Sunnydale where everybody is vampires, in a parallel dimension created by the vow, and those vampires come in our dimension, so every character has got a vampire double...). This Scrooge has the same past than our Scrooge, but he hasn't taken a kick in his back in 1930, and Magica and Glomgold have stolen all he owned, so he is a bum.
The fourth I've found is in the first Picsou Magasine, in the story "Oncle Picsou contre Tonton Soupic", originally AL 170 A : "Zio Paperone e la guera delle conchiglie", from Rodolfo Cimino and Giulio Chierchini". In France he is called Soupic, (does anyone know his Italian Name?), and if he was publicated in US, he would probably be named "DucMac", or something like that... He lives in Pearlyland[?] (Nacreland), an Island probably in Middle America, an island where shells are considered like money, so he has a big "Shell Bin" in form of a Giant Shell, and he thinks he is the richest man in the World because he's got a lot of shells, in which he dives... But he goes in Duckburg and meet Scrooge, and they fight as with Flintheart, untill a wiseman tells them to stay in their respective countries, in which each one will be the richest...He looks very muck like Scrooge.
The last one, from an Italian story published in PM 94, is a man who also looks very muck like Scrooge, first dressed like him. He comes from a future dimsion in wich Earth will be a colony of another planet...
In Barks' WUS 48, an Indian Without Face has also briefly been a Scrooge Double because of Magica's power...
Fergus McDuck, Scrooge's Father, has been mistaken with Scrooge in DonRosa's "Of Ducks, Dimes and Destiny".

Dona Rosa's "Mexican Disney comics fan"
Message 78 -
2001-03-07 at 23:17:58
I stumbled across the Disney Comics Mailing List a couple or so weeks
ago when I was searching the web for leads on Mexican Donald Duck
comics. One hit was a message from Don Rosa dated 14 Aug 2000 in which
he wrote:
"...[at] this past San Diego Con. I met a Mexican Disney comics
fan who I always see there, and of course I told him about my trip to
Copper Canyon and about my "Three Caballeros" story that I set there."
I'd be willing to bet all my Rite-Aid stock that this "Mexican Disney
comics fan" would be able to tell me if it's still possible to find
copies of the Latin American "Pato Donald" comics to complete my
collection.
Mr. Rosa: If you are reading this message, I'd certainly be grateful to
you if you could help me get in touch with the Disney comics fan from
Mexico. I'd be happy to email you my personal contact info if you'd be
kind enough to pass it on to your compadre from south of the border.

Foreign Disney Comics: Are the stories original?
Message 79 -
2001-03-07 at 23:29:07
From reading the messages posted since I subscribed to this list a few
days ago, I'm getting the impression that foreign editions of Disney
comics are created by production teams in the countries where the comics
will be distributed, rather than just translating stories from U.S.
editions of the comics. Did I get that right?
The reason I'm asking is because in the Latin American Donald Duck
comics that I started collecting in the early nineties in Mexico, it
seemed to me that the stories and art had been taken from old U.S.
comics, with Spanish translations printed in the speech balloons. In
fact, it often seemed that the Spanish dialogue didn't fit at all well
into the balloons.
Also, the color separations seemed "streamlined." By that I mean that
a lot of different areas that you would expect to printed in different
colors would be printed in all the same color. For example a background
of grass, tree trunks, tree foliage, sky, with some clouds floating in
it would all be one color, such as yellow. From that I imagined that
the Latin American publisher had bought the line drawings or old U.S.
Donalad Duck comics, but that the color separations had not survived, so
they had to hire some artists to do some "quick and dirty" color
separations.
So, now I'm wondering if I was completely off the mark in that
speculation.

There is also "Rapesou" (in the French version), a poor man who is the exact
opposite of Scrooge, except for his visual appearance. The story was
published in an Almanach du Journal de Mickey, but I don't recall it right
now.

Hi!
I do remember the "Tonton Soupic" story; I have it here.
Another I fainlty recall and would really love to read again
(I don't have the issue; can't remember what possibly happened to it--
I shiver at the though of it...) is "Tri-Picsou", published in "Mickey Parade";
it was the cover's theme as well. I recall it was story in which Uncle Scrooge
suffered from split personnality.
Which reminds me of another story, this one in "Picsou Magazine" (I'll try to
find the title & story code): a Jekyll & Hyde story with Donald. Only this time
when he drank the potion, Donald did not become mean but excessively
generous.

Hi Olivier!

This is a classic I would say. Published in issue #1 of Picsou and reprinted
in issue #156 (as very few of them).
http://www2.ec-lille.fr/willot/coa/c1/story.php/4/I+AT++170-A
I always wondered if the two panels where Scrooge and his double run for
Scooge's money, and shells, really were by Chierchini. They look like
Perego.

Today a very nice edition of "Z? Carioca" is published! It contain's a very
impressive historie, spacial one, drew some years ago by Aluir Am?ncio, and
that was produced as a mini-serial comic, but it was never published on this
form. This edition contains a short edition of this historie(16 pages), the
original was 60 pages!!
It received ink(Jo?o Anselmo) annd color(Markus Corr?a)by NW Studio. The
(computer)color of Markus is very, very good, on my oppinion!
The comic contain more comics drew by Carlos Mota, Dave Santana, and...me!
:)
If someone like to see some scan(or put on the Net to all the friends around
here take a look), e-mail me!

Yes and no. Disney comics stories are produced in a dozen places in the
world. All countries can (and do) use these stories: both home-made and
foreign ones.
Most stories have a "story code", which usually is written in the first
panel of the story. This story code tells you which producer made the story.
On my webpage:
http://home.wxs.nl/~fluks4/bolderbast/xproduct.html
you'll find an overview of the places where stories are made, and lots of
information about story codes.
For instance, information about Brazilian producktion is on

I have gone through the pages of this story carefully enough (I think) and
can see no Perego.
On page 24, panel 2, Uncle $crooge looks a little Bordinish, but might be
Chierchini all right.
So if you have two panels that look like Perego they probably were modified
in the French version. A scan would help of course, but please: what page,

The lives and times of Pluto the Pup !
Message 88 -

Hi!
I the a the story D99305, from the new JDM2542, we learn about Mickey and Pluto's first meeting, and about what I'd call "The life and times of Pluto"!(through Pluto's rememberings.)
Pluto was born in the street, he remembers about the games he played with the others puppies, in the neighbourhood near the Dock.
It was a nice life, he stole meet at the butcher's...The only danger was the pound, but Pluto allways succeeded in escaping.Et when he grew up, his seduction grew up to. He thought he would never need an owner. And some day he saw Mickey helping another dog (she looks a lot like Dinah Daschund), so he thought that this human wasn't like the others. So Pluto followed Mickey, until hespoke with the Captain Jack Le Borgne ( "One-eyed" Jack"), who sold him a boat, "Princesse des Mers" (Seas' Princess). Then Mickey went away and Pluto stayed at the Dock. And he saw Black Pete coming and speaking with Jack, so he understood that Mickey runned a risk.
So, Pluto ran after Mickey until Minnie's house, barking at Mickey, but Mickey thought he was hungry and gave him a hot-dog. Seing that Mickey doesn't understand, he tried to tell that to Horace, but Horace sent him packing. He also tried to convince Goofy, but he did't understand.So Pluto followed Mickey again, until he went to the Dock to pay the boat to Jack, then Jack ran out and Pete, with a crane, tried to let a wood box fall down on Mickey, but Pluto saved him thrusting him, and fought with Pete. As Pluto thought that maybe Mickey will need him again, he decided to stay with him and Mickey adopts him... An the adventure is only beginning...
A nice story, isn't it?

Just last night I got a chance to sit back and (finally!) read Somewhere
In Nowhere. I wanted to publically give John Lustig and Pat Block a big
pat on the back for producing a wonderful story. John's script flowed
beautifully and Pat's art really looked great. I especially enjoyed the
signs in the background of the scenes of Donald on the streets of
Duckburg.
Thanks again for an excellent story!

In Nowhere. I wanted to publically give John Lustig and Pat Block a big
pat on the back for producing a wonderful story. John's script flowed
beautifully and Pat's art really looked great. I especially enjoyed the
signs in the background of the scenes of Donald on the streets of
Duckburg.
Thanks again for an excellent story!
Rodney

Rockerduck made his one and only Barks appearance in "Boat Buster"
(WDC 255).
Why was Rockerduck continued by Italian artists, instead of (for example)
the more developed Flintheart Glomgold? When did "Boat Buster" appear in
Italy and when did the first non-Barks Rockerduck appear?
Was Rockerduck invented to be used in Italy or did Italy decide for
themselves to use Rockerduck again?
The Inducks people have noticed that in the early 1960s some Western covers
appeared in Europe at almost the moment as in the USA, but inked by
European artists instead. I don't know the details about this, but it made
me wonder if it's possible that Rockerduck could have been created on
request of the Italian editor. (But then again, why didn't they use
Flintheart Glomgold instead? Was Flintheart still unknown/unpublished in
Italy at that time?)
Has Barks ever commented on his creation of Rockerduck?
BTW. Examples of "simultaneous" European/USA covers should be the
covers of US 44 and WDC 261. I don't know about others.
Best wishes,
