Hello everyone
I am new to this forum,but not to disney or cartoons or comics! i was wondering if anyone knows who drew the cover for "Four Color #9 Donald Duck finds Pirates Gold" And the back -c treasure map as well?
I have heard it was "Hank Porter" who was involved in Pinnocchio i believe? Thank You

This could be Hank Porter, but the credit is uncertain.
Here is a copy in particularly good condition (I wonder how much it is worth!)

I'd like to point out also that scans of the original comic have recently surfaced (made from a kind of "microfiches").
Now - the original version IS DIFFERENT from most other reprints, look eg at page 37
Shadows have been added in recent prints, and one of Pete' sidekicks has lost his black trousers, eg DD 250:
Clearly - someone retouched the original version. Looking in Inducks

As you can see, most reprints were published after 1972, when it was published in Italy in the big "Cartonatoni Disney" books. My guess is that the changes occured at this point. I wonder which version is in the Carl Barks Library.
Only very few older reprints are known:
Argentinian El Pato Donald (1946)
Italian Topolino and Albi d'Oro reprint (1947 and 1954)
Brazilian Seleções Coloridas Walt Disney (1947)

For further investigation I would like to see a direct scan of the original comic, without any colour-editing.
To me, this ("microfiches"?) scan example looks like being "photoshopped" in some way. As if the colouring has been digitally filtered.

This scan of page 37 matches with the Carl Barks Library (01A-055). The trousers are white. Shadows are included. (Also, for example, on page 39.)
I don't see any indication of any whitening of these trousers. To me, the line-art in the CBL looks just like the rest of the drawings. As being intended that way. If these white trousers ever would have been drawn black and the CBL changed, then I guess there must at least have been some indication of an editor adding outlines and wrinkling to these trousers.
In panel 37.1, the hats (kerchiefs) for Pete's helpers are white. Black hats would give them mishaped heads, as the black of the hats would merge with the black top of the heads.
The shadows in panel 37.2 look logical to me. They show the jumping of the characters, and the distance they have to the ground under them. Without shadow in panel 37.2, Pete would appear to be flying.
And also, lack of shadows in that panel would mismatch with the shadows that are shown in panel 37.1 in both given scan examples.
So far, on basis of these scan examples and their reproduction quality, my guess is that the given scan of DD 250, and the CBL contain the original version.
