Yes, U$ #280 will have a Rosa cover. It shows Scrooge on a rubber boat looking
at a sinking ship. I don't know what story this is supposed to illustrate.

I saw a copy of the cover in (a part of) an interview of Don Rosa (in the
magazine "Advance Comics"). Rosa says, that "War of the Wendigo" will _not_
be published by Disney, "because it involves Indians. They wouldn't even 
read the story." Is does not matter that the Indians are the "good guys",
just the fact that there _are_ Indians withholds Disney from publishing 
the story! Rosa hopes (expects) Gladstone will be less narrow-minded...

In the interview, Rosa said he was doing covers for Gladstone again.

WDC #586 will have a William Van Horn cover.

The copy I saw, had two logos on it: Gladstone _and_ Disney Comics. So: will
Disney Comics still have influence? Or is it just the name that they want 
to keep?
