As far as I know, yes - if they own it at all. (I'm not convinced Archie
could defend its trademark on the basis of a story in the back pages of a
digest some time in the last ten years, especially if they had to fight
Disney for it.) But if they do, and if Disney decides to respect their
ownership of it, they'd probably use a different name in the whole English
speaking world, just to be consistent.

Quack, Don

Wow! With all those plural personalities you guys must have been successfully cloned. ;)

Hello folks

I like many of those old SUPER DUCK comics from the
1940s. Perhaps he was a suburban would-be Donald, but
some of those writers gave the strip a crazy surreal
spin completely unlike anything that ever went on in
Duckburg.

Also, he wore a rather dapper alpine-style hat with a
feather. Surely a critical reappraisal is long
overdue?

Best wishes,

VIC

This was all new to me. How come Disney never took notice and tried to
forbid this character? Or did they? I searched Super Duck on internet, and
he looks as much Donald as Howard the Duck does.
Strange comic.

Hi all!

"Return to Xandu" is published twice in Norway.
In panel 1 on page 15 Scrooge speaks to a little
girl in Trallala. In the first edition from 1991
Scrooge says that as a young boy in Scotland he
used to help his *cousins* repairing their dolls.

In the second edition from 2001 Scrooge says that
he used to help his *sisters* repairing their dolls.

Can anyone please tell me what's correct here?

If the first is correct then those cousins must
belong to Scrooge's mother's side (Don Rosa
has clearly stated that Scrooge's father
Fergus McDuck was the only of three siblings
with a family).

Sigvald :-)

Here's the original dialogue (U$ 261, Dec '91-- time flies):
"Hm! I DO recall helping kids fix broken dolls on my last visit! I used to fix my two sisters' dolls
back home in Scotland when I was your age!"

Hmm. Maybe I'll read "Xanadu" again tonight...

Until you said BAMBI, I was going to say "red shorts" (which
Archie's Super Duck also wears, in at least one of the 1940s stories I
own!).
But now I'm totally, completely flummoxed. I'm guessing SD was
written and drawn at some point by someone who also worked on Disney
projects such as MM cartoons/comics and Bambi...
Do I get the prize, or the gong?

David, who recalls Archie's Super Duck clumsily letting a burglar
get away

Hi all!

Looks like Egmont's ECN page has revived. You can now read "A Step by Step
Look at the Making of Disney Comics". http://www.ecn.dk/
