The *only* other time Don did that was in the "War of the Wendigo" story.
And there's an occasion (Lo$ chapter 12) where D.U.C.K. is hidden several
times in the first *and* in the last panel of the story.

Don did a few covers with DD, MM and US, for Gladstone near the end of their
first run (1989). They were meant for Gladstone's "WDC in Color" albums,
which were bundlings of (superfluous) Gladstone albums. Not all of Don's
covers were used at that time. Some of the covers were used (or re-used)
almost a decade later, near the end of Gladstone's "second run".

(Now let's hope we will be able to speak of a "third run"...)
