Yes, this is another thread about covers. In this thread, you can post images between the original cover and the remake cover and you can tell your opinion on which version is better.
There are some remake covers that I like better than the original like this dutch remake of a Chip 'n' Dale cover by Giuseppe Perego. I don't like the CD covers by Perego because he is very bad at drawing the chipmunks.
Here you can see the original Perego version and the Dutch remake version:

There are some of the original covers that I like better than the remake like this original cover featured Li'l Bad Wolf and Big Bad Wolf. The dutch remake was okay but it is not as good as the original.
Here you can see the original american version and the dutch version:

Quote from user: Thomps2525Somebody is actually asking me for my opinion? Wow. But I probably do not need to say which of these two covers I prefer. Huey, Dewey and Louie fling open the front door and run into the room where Donald is working on his stamp collection. The stamps go flying. The picture on the cover of Walt Disney's Comics & Stories #161 (February 1954) was redrawn for issue #355 (February 1970). To be more accurate, I should say that some of it was redrawn. Donald's stamp collection apparently grew smaller over the years!

Yes, I noticed some differences between those two covers but it's unknown if the "remake" cover was redrawn by Carl Barks himself but maybe it was redrawn by a different artist.

Quote from user: Thomps2525There were two versions of issue #355. One advertised "Bonus Giant Poster Inside" and included a poster of Gyro Gearloose with his head being scratched by a machine. The other version had no poster and, obviously, no mention of "Poster Inside." Both are pictured at https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?tid=168171&pgi=351

I've been unable to find out who drew the cover. Was it Barks himself? And, if so, why? Why didn't Gold Key simply reprint the earlier cover?
Well, I have noticed some other versions of the same Western covers (Both Disney and non-Disney series) but with some stuffs that were missing in the other version. I heard that there were some other versions of some Dell covers where some stories were missing on the back cover like this issue of the Dell's Chip 'n' Dale series.
Maybe it was redrawn by Barks or by another artist but I don't know either.

Thank you, Joakim. I would love to see the original pencil drawing. So the drawing of Donald and the nephews was re-used...but the stamps, the two little boxes and the pot of glue were re-drawn. Two-thirds of the stamps disappeared, even some of the stamps in the album. Who re-drew the stamps? Barks? I'm guessing that somebody at Western Publishing decided that all the tiny stamps in the original drawing would be too difficult to color. Remember, we're talking about Gold Key, which for many years would color the backgrounds of certain panels all red or all yellow or all orange or all green or.....

I have rarely liked a remake of a cover better than the original (other than some covers by artists whose drawing style I don't like, which I redrew in Carl Barks' style). Although, I DO agree with you that the redrawn Dutch Chip and Dale cover is much better.
