What do you think about Don Rosa? Do you like Fethry Duck's brazilian stories, or prefer american or italian ones? In my opinion, the stories by Kinney/Hubbard are at the top!
Hi Alec!
I confess I'm not a Disney hardcore fan. I truly love these characters since I was a little kid but I don't know how to differ US, Brazilian or Italian stories on a comic book.
However I'm sure 'Editora Abril' (Brazilian Disney publisher) had printed stories from many different countries. I had probably read stories from all over the world even without knowing this back in the day.
Joe Carioca's stories were very easy to relate to Brazil's reality for instance. After this story you could see something completely different - like an old North American Carl Barks story. 'Abril' had published many articles about Barks and other veteran Disney artists so I'm a huge fan of Barks since I was 4 or 5 years old.
I feel very ashamed to say I (believe I) never read a comic by Don Rosa. I stopped to buy Disney comics in 1993 (and I had heard about him only a few years ago).
Now I think that Rosa maybe had drawn a 'Duck Tales' story from one of my Brazilian comics. I was intrigued when I read it for the first time as a kid.. Because this story had the look and feel of a Barks adventure - but modern characters like Capitao Boing (Launchpad McQuack) were there.
My favorite Disney characters are Donald and his family. Peninha (Fethry) always made me laugh. I like to see him as 'the red bat' however I really enjoy his adventures as a regular clumsy duck.
