Yesterday one of the most important Disney authors has died: Rudolfo Cimino. He invented the butler of Scrooge Baptist, Donald´s great love Reginella and many other Disney characters. His stories were full of poetry and adventure. Typical was his love for fanfastic places and inventions.

Rodolfo Cimino was one of the more important Italian authors of Disney comics, although he had a tendency to self-plagiarize. I will chiefly remember him for the stories he wrote for Scarpa in the 1960s and for Cavazzano in the 1970s and as a great inker for Scarpa, too. The more recent stuff of his that I've come across is mediocre in comparison, but it was incredible to still have new Disney comics by the team of Cimino and Chierchini.

I think it is sad that Rudolfo Cimino has died.

R.I.P., mr. Cimino!!
What is happening to the deaths of comic creators this year? First Vicar, then Don Markstein, and now Cimino!?

I was no familiar with his name, but I see I knew and enjoyed lots of great stories by him, whether written or inked.
Thank you for all you gave us and farewell, Mr Cimino!

Earlier this year I posted my personal "fantasy football" team of stories I'd like to see published in English, and four out of my top ten were written by Cimino: Perfect Happiness (I AT 211-A), his silly/sublime fable about consumerism vs. enlightenment, The Mystery of Two Civilizations (I TL 1905-A), a very fine story in the Lost World genre, and the first two Reginella stories. I have since discovered a couple more I really enjoy: Donald and the Error of *funny wizard name* (I TL 997-A, which has great art by Cavazzano), where Donald is kidnapped by an island society run by sexy females who want him to defeat a monster, and The Battle of the Bins (I TL 565-A), where Scrooge makes a mobile money bin which is copied by the Beagle Boys, and the two bins duke it out. Cimino also wrote the "Grandma Duck's Campfire Tales" series, which has some fine stories in it. This last year I've been feeding my Disney comics habit with French and German comics, and Cimino is the author who has given me the most pleasure. I'm grateful to have discovered some of his best stories, and I do hope some day to see them printed in English!

I'd love to read Perfect Happiness. Now is the time to publish it in memory of Cimino in the German Donald Duck Sonderheft and similar Dutch and Scandinavian publications.

p.s. Don't read the French synopsis of Perfect Happiness on the INDUCKS page, as it gives away too much of the plot! The English one is OK to read.

I can't read French anyway so it's not that much of a difference to me.
