I rank, as I recall now, the following as the best and most enjoing to read regarding the attractiveness of the art :

1. Barks´ ducks (peak period 1948-1949) (also in the top as stories of course)

2. Gottfredson´s mice (peak period roughly around 1936-1938)

3. Al Taliaferro´s ducks (peak some years around or rather before 1940)

4. Carl von Buettner´s wolves (peak around 1945-1946) (but his Ducks One-Shot covers such as Terror of the River are rather ugly)

6. Paul Murry´s mice (peak period before 1960) (but together with the Carl Fallberg scripts the combination would rank much higher)

7. Gil Turner´s wolves (peak period before 1951)

8. Tony Strobl´s ducks (peak period before 1961) (The ranking may be benefited by the often very nice scripts in the longer stories which make the stories nearly as attractive as Murry´s mice.)

9. Bill Wrights mice (peak perod before 1952) (also more attractive as a whole in the longer stories due to good scripts and the early news paper art is very good)

Walt Kelly´s duck covers which sometimes are really good

Also the artist ( "Dan Noonan ? ") of the WDC&S 29 cover http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us/WDC++29 which is nearly Barks class.

I thought Carl Barks did Terror of the River.

Barks did the story, Buettner did the original cover (One Shots 108).

Your list is very similar to mine.

And I somehow forgot Dick Moores mice,since he often illustrated very good scripts like Mickey Mouse's Magic Machine,
The Wonderful Whizzix, Goofy´s Mechanical Wizard and The Secret of the Whirlpool (by Carl Fallberg).

I have no Italian comics in my collction but have just recently read the early Phantom Blot by Romano Scarpo in the american version, and clearly it was of high quality also. I had no idea there was Phantom Blots between Gottfredsons of 1939 and the 1964 Murry drawn reappearance. But as I child I dreamed (!) of another early Phantom Blot story (I still remember the scene on a mountain cliff with the Blot climbing) so maybe it was the Scarpa story that flashed through the night to my brain :-)
