Bottaro at his best period! I have read all those other stories, but not the first one on the top (scull cave). What story is that? Looks great!

Ah, you added story names. Paperino e l'isola del tesoro it was. And it is published in FInland. Have to seek out for that!

Paperino e il calumet della pace

Quote from user: sirredkneeRight on, Bottaro's work really deserves much more recognition than it gets. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he was the only true "auteur" of Italian Disney comics next to Scarpa.
I agree 100%!

From these scans I recognize many of these stories having read them from Greek reprints from 1967-1969. In fact, "Paperino e l'isola del Tesoro" was I believe the very first Duck story I ever read at the tender age of 9. I recognize the artwork, and I remember that ghost! I no longer have those early Greek issues, and I've wanted to get my hands on that story ever since translated into either Greek or English, with no luck!

Truly fantastic stuff! I must say, though, those birth of Donald panels are rather bizarre.

Too bad Gladstone and Gemstone didn't print any. And Boom certainly won't!

I love that scene even if it is not what you would call elegantly drawn.

Unfortunately the stories are in italian but:
1) Only seeing the images you could partly understand the plot.
2) with the help of a dictionary you could fully understand the plot. I translated some manga from french into italian without knowing french, but only with the help of a dictionary!

Quote from user: Robb_KShould young children see that and think they can do that to a person and it won't even hurt?
Don't be silly. Stars indicate that it did indeed hurt.
