Love it! Thanks for the interview! I used to be not so much of a Van Horn fan (more the Don Rosa-like), but then I discovered the perfect balance between them! After a difficult, serious Don Rosa story, you pick a Van Horn to put something light on your mind. I really love his kind of slapstick.

Egmont is preparing Bill??s Scrooge comic "Woe Is He!" (D2010-077, 8 pages) for publication in Europe. Scrooge has a very strange encounter with Magica De Spell ?¦
The translation into German will be done by Gerd Syllwasschy.

I always loved Van Horn's work. Sometime Rosa's work can make Scrooge a little too stand-offish. Van Horn, in my opinion, tends to "humanize" him a bit better.
Having said that, both are masters and I've never understood why it's either/or for so many fans. I like the works of both, though Van Horn is probably under appreciated.

You're not wrong about Rosa's Scrooge, who, while often very well-drawn, can also on occasion descend into something like sociopathy--but it's not a very useful comparison, since Van Horn clearly is much less interested in Scrooge and only rarely uses him for significant roles.

To me, Van Horn's work has a certain classic quality to it. Kind of like the old-time cartoonists who seemed to know this little subtle ways to get a good laugh out of an audience without making the audience seem stupid for laughing.

Good news for the new year: in 2011, several Van Horn stories will be published in English for the first time.
The first to come is WDC 717 with "Scrooge For A Day" (D2007-304, 8 pages).

That sounds great. Who is Voracia Duckworst?
Gerd Syllwasschy
Voracia is in love with Scrooge. Bill created her for this story.
