Don't tell me that bachelor/playboy José Carioca got married!!!
Did he? Oh, well... at least it looks like it. I mean, look at the expression on his face! ;)

Hi everyone. I'm new here, and couldn't resist chiming in on "favorite cover". This cover is one of my favorite comic book covers of all time. It is one of those covers that I wish I could "walk into". Someday I want to have a poster sized version made for display at Christmastime. The artist might be Hank Porter, but even Gladstone was unsure when they published it.

Matilda, thanks for the link! Interesting to see how different colorists can add new dimensions to a favorite work of art. The b&w version is sensational!

I in turn recieved some comics from the 80s and 90s today. I couldn't help but marvel at those early Gladstone covers. Jippes' art is at its liveliest, and the colors bounce off the covers! Especially WDC 512, 521 and 522!

I agree about Jippes covers but if you want to be fooled then the cover of WDC&S 518 is the most astonishing in my opinion. If I didn't new that it isn't a Barks mid 1950's cover I definitely couldn't say that those Ducks were not drawn by Barks. It is probably the most Barks-"identical" drawing by Jippes ever in my opinion.
It is also interesting that Jippes can copy different Barks styles, especially regarding the nephews (example WDC&S 517 with rather typical Barksish 1948 nephews) but he is usually most exact overall in the mid 1950's style.
Referring to WDC&S 108 it is interesting that a comic book adaption of on oil painting with Scooge added was published in Carl Barks Library 8 and reprinted on the cover of WDC&S 601.

This must be one of Barks best covers since the 1940's and he did the comic book version when he was over 80 years old which is amazing. Actually you COULD mistake it for a Jippes cover from the same period (imitating Barks) but the Scrooge (refined 1960's style) face reveals that it is a true Barks I think. The style is overall very Barksish but you can't say that it definitely resemble any particular period but the Barks 1980's era, since Donald ressemble late 1940's or early 1950's style if any:-)
Barks made a few other new covers in somewhat similar style for comic books in the 80's and these must also be included in a complete Barks comic book collection.
