I have not seen them in the USA (yet). I hope Gladstone will reprint them.
(And I guess none of them has been reprinted yet outside Holland.)

Jippes has done 6 stories up to now, for the Dutch Disney publisher:

story   Dutch  Title (lower case)          Barks'       Story code
        issue                              script date

JW  8b  92-07  bad day for troop 'a'       70-01-01     H 9202
JW 11a  92-43  traitor in the ranks        70-10-26     H 9285
JW 12b  92-13  storm dancers               71-02-04     H 9212
JW 13a  92-29  the day the mountain shook  71-05-04     H 9251
JW 13b         gold of the '49ers          71-05-25     (?)
JW 14   92-01  duckmade disaster           71-07-30     H 9201

The Dutch publisher wanted to reprint ALL Barks' work, but they didn't 
Tony Strobl's and Kay Wright's art. So they let Jippes redraw the stories.
Jippes agreed to do this, because he needed the money! Let's hope he 
will finish (re)drawing ALL the JW stories...

--Harry.
