Hi Abdulmonem Abbas. The most simple way to recognize the artists of certain
stories are this simple:
1. You said that the mag began from 1994 so you must have read quite a lot.
You must have noticed that most Donald Duck stories have several different
"styles" in drawing. Once you're familiar with the styles, you can assume
that other story which has same style in drawing must be drawn by the same
person.
2. Search the net for some names and see if any of his/her (i think there
hasn't been a female duck artist before or am i wrong:-) arts match the ones
you read.
3. If you still can't identify or get the artists' names. Just scan a page
or two and ask here. Don't have a scanner? Put the story code in this list,
and i'm pretty sure there're a lot of nice people here will try to help you
out.

Hope that helps:-)

PS several most known artists:
Carl Barks ( a Disney Legend)
Don Rosa (in my list, he's 2nd top duck artist. He's in a class of his own,
can't compare with Barks and i think he doesn't like to be compared)
William Van Horn
Al Taliaferro (the strips are hilarious and funny)
Daan Jippes (he drawn most Barks scripts very well)
Ben Verhagen (he's not that famous, i think???. But i do like his works)

Best,
Arie Fachrisal:-)
