Komix articles about Scarpa

[Francesco Spreafico]

Thanks to Archontis I have a good deal of Komix issues, mainly with
Scarpa's stories, and I noticed that there are many articles about him.

What I'd like to know is whether these article are original or merely
copied from somewhere else (citing the source or not).

My guess is that most of these are translation from Italian articles by
Leonardo Gori, Luca Boschi and Alberto Becattini from "Le grande storie di
Romano Scarpa" Comic Art, "I Maestri Disney", "Romano Scarpa un cartoonist
italiano tra animazione e fumetti" or the Gladstone editions of Scarpa
stories, but it's just my supposition. I would hope they're not, so we'd
have some original contents.
If so, it would be nice if any of you Greeks here in list (you're hundreds
;-) could translate (hint, hint!) them in English for us ignorant (and
then I could re-translate them in Italian for my coming site, if they were
really original... especially the interview on #91).
Of course those English translation would look great on Apostolis' site,
huh? ;-)
All this would be useless if there were no original contents of course, so
I (we) need to know more about those articles, to see if they're original
or not.

- Komix 61, page 25.
A page that seems to be dedicated to Scarpa (there's the "Money Perfume"
sketch by Barks)... what's this about?

- Komix 63, page 25.
Another page, in the middle od the "McDuck Foundation" story, with some
pencils. What is it?

- Komix 91, page 61.
Now this is interesting: it looks like a short interview *made by Komix*.
Sound like this is really an original piece. What do they sey?

- Komix 119, page 53-54.
This is obviously Frank Stajano's page.
http://www.uk.research.att.com/~fms/disney/scarpa/
Is he, or his site, credited anywhere there?

- Komix 124, page 4-6.
Is this only about ancient Egypt or also about Scarpa?

- Konix 131, page 4-5.
All the pictures are obviously from Eta Beta's Last Balaboo's site
http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/eega/scarpa/balaboo.html
Is he or his site credited?), but what about the text? What's it all
about?

- Komix 139, page52-54.
This seems to be an article about the Lentils of Babylon.

I don't own:
# 55 Kali's Nail Romano Scarpa
# 67 The Mystery of Tapiocus VI Romano Scarpa
# 112 ?

so I don't know if there are any articles there (if anybody had a double
copy of those... :-)

(BTW, on the Apostolis' page there's a "# 126 Paperino Pendolare Romano
Scarpa"; it is not Scarpa, it's Marco Rota)

So? Anybody wants to help?
