Comment

When the Dutch publisher Oberon reprinted Barks Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories in the 1970s, proofs or films for some of the more obscure ones were lacking. The young artist Daan Jippes was given the task of redrawing/recreating some of Barks´ stories. Which he did in a fully satisfactory way. This is page 2 from Barks´ story "Donald Duck´ s Best Christmas", originally published in Firestone Giveaway 1945, as recreated by Jippes. This Jippes version was first published in the Dutch Donald Duck weekly 52/1974. It has been used several times when the story has been reprinted, e.g. in Another Rainbow´ s Carl Barks Library. Only serious Barks nerds and experts will be able to spot the difference.
And the original Barks art for this page was of course destroyed at the printing plant...
