Yes. Those '70s covers by Daan were great (also his 10-page Duck stories done together with Freddie Milton). And so were Daan's covers on "De Beste Verhalen Van Donald Duck" series.

I totally agree with you! :D

This cover by Ben Verhagen is very funny and nice drawn too:

Beware! Pole (with warning sign)

Hadn't seen that one, but I like it!

Quote from user: Opel Rekord1985hahaha! love the above cover even though I don't understand Dutch.. can someone tell me exactly what it says there tho? :P

I still laughed. :')
Azure Blue had it right. "Watch out! Pole, with warning sign." The pole with the warning sign warns Donald to watch out for the pole with the warning sign.

It's sort of like my cover with Donald hitting a "Danger, thin ice" sign into the ice on a frozen lake, and thereby cracking that thin ice. Irony.

I subscribed for the Dutch Donald Duck in the 1970's almost just for the Jippes covers, but the style of that one from the 1977 #4 issue by Verhagen is extremely close to Barks own art (around 1950) as some of Jippes cover drawings like the WDC&518 http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us%2FWDC+518 (around mid 1950's Barks style)

The ressemblance is so close that I would in fact like to examine other cover art by Ben Verhagen just to be sure ( by visual inspection) that you can rule out (or rather reduce the probability close to zero) that Jippes draw that cover also, but the (extremely useful for serious collectors) Inducks artist oriented index page is out of function now.

When I received that comic book in 1977 I think I probably credited the cover to Jippes myself, if it is not stated otherwise in the comic book credentials (I don't have it here now and cant check it out).

Thank you Robb by the way, for explaning the really funny paradox joke also which I then put little emphize on just amazed by the Barkslike art !

----------------------

I see now that I DO have that Dutch 1977 #4 comic book here and they didn't have any credentials in the comic book itself.

In the 1970's I had selected some of my favorite Barks style Dutch covers.
One not mentioned here before I think is the fantastic cover of the Dutch 1976 #42 issue :
http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=nl%2FDD1976-42

It illustrates the Hondorica story but Jippes here has chosen the around 1950 Barks style i.e. a few years earlier than the Barks art of the story.
In fact in this case, for that reason, I would have estetically preferred the Jippes art for a cover (if Barks hade made one in the mid 1950's) which more ressembles the Barks zenit era around 1948-1949. The nephews may be true 1948-1949-style but Donald's beak seems too short - more like 1950 style :-)

My three favorites Jippes covers are:
1) the "infinity gag" cover discussed above:
http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=ARC+WDC+518
I was amused to see on this Inducks page that the Greek printing of this cover doesn't include the gag, because the comic the nephews are reading has some random cover!
2) the piratical nephews who have just scuttled Donald's ship-in-a-bottle:
http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us/DDA%20%2039
3) Goofy's raft-in-a-bottle:
http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=nl/DD1979-37
This means that two out of three have ships-in-bottles, which I didn't even realize until I wrote this message! Sheer coincidence, I have no particular interest in the ship-in-a-bottle hobby. Not only that, I don't particularly like Goofy, but I still love this cover. I love how he's so *happy* with his creation.

Last night European time before 3 AM I got this splendid Barks cover (along with the complete comic book - hopefully)
http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=523579
It was some tough bidding but now it is mine, my precious :-)
Interestingly enough, in Sweden that cover was published two years before the actual Barks story with the latter published in a comic book series called Walt Disneys Serier 1954 which translates to Walt Disney's Comics and sometimes contained long Barks Four Color stories (or long stories by other artists) such as A Christmas For Shacktown.
Thus the cover was published in 1952 as the cover of the main Swedish Disney comic book series i.e. Kalle Anka ( No 12 December 1952) which on the other hand strongly ressembled Walt Disney's Comics & Stories often with a Barks 10 pager as a starter followed by Little Bad Wolf usually by Gil Turner.
Clear as mud then, but the cover of F C 367 seems rather bright and the pages are supposed to be white which is not common for such old Disney comic books even in conditions around NM.

Thank you ! Yes it is a kind of emotional cover since the Barks story is a very special one, even if all Barks One-Shots were special :-).
I would have loved it even more if it was drawn around 1948-1949 when Barks was at his best IMO, although the cover only probably wouldn't have differed so much in this case.

Did I read right that you paid $3,500 for it? O_o I didn't realize that that stuff was that big.
Haha the cover price is 10 cents.
