I am still working on the US Don Rosa Index and thus have some questions:
As shown in the following example $crooge's glasses were whitened (the lines behind the glasses were removed) in som stories by Don Rosa in the early 1990s:

Panels 1-2 on page 21 of "Return to Xanadu"
Can anyone please tell me more about this? What I have heared is that it was done by Egmont to make those glasses look more Barksish - is that true?
I have found another example in "Treasure Under Glass" (Panel 4 on page 19). Are there even more examples of this?
From what I heard Don Rosa actually ended up drawing one or a few stories without adding the usual lines behind $crooge's glasses because they was removed anyway. Is this correct? If so what story/stories was that?
Can anyone please also check the following albums in the "Walt Disney's Comics in Color 1st album series":
WIC 2 (1988)
WIC 3 (1990)
WIC 4 (1990)
WIC 5 (1990)
WIC 7 (1990)
for any full page-size or near full page-size reprints of any Rosa-covers inside the albums.
Can anyone please also tell me more about the various Don Rosa Pinups on the back of one or both of these publications from 2004:
Christmas Parade #2-A
