Yourch! Of all the bad Disney comic artists I have ever had the
questionable pleasure to read, Giuseppe Perego is the worst by
far! "Crude", as Fabio later wrote, is a tremendous understatement.
He draws all the ducks with extremely short beaks, and for some
reason the beak is always wide open. Especially when one of them
is furious, which happens in every second panel or so. Donald
constantly gets mad at Huey, Dewey and Louie for no apparent
reason and Scrooge constantly gets mad at Donald.

All in all, it's a shame that all you Americans will certainly
never get to see anything by this man. I just love to hate him. ;-)

By the way, Scarpa's "MM as the Emperor of Calisota" which David
mentioned, is one of my favourite Italian stories. Not everything
Italian is bad. :-)
