About the Twin Towers of Duckburg, again

[Blasco Pisapia]

Hi all!

Apart from Don's story, there is a much older reference to Twin Towers.
I'm talking about I TL 986-A ( "Paperino e la gara dei grattacieli", 
by Siegel and Scala)


  ***SPOILER ALERT***

Actually, in this story Scrooge and J. D. Rockerduck must build two 
identical towers, one in front of the other. He who will complete his 
building in less time, will gain the property of both towers. Half a 
disaster.

  ***END OF SPOILER***

I have a very pale memory of this story, since I read it in my 
childhood ( oct 1974), but what stroke me was the strange style in 
which the two towers were fashioned, half way between baroque and 
déco. Very Scala-ish, indeed.

It is also interesting to point out that, when this story appeared, 
the WTC was still being completed, and it was not a familiar part of 
NYC skyline as it has been for nearly 30 years since .

Strange things  happen in Disney comics...

Best wishes
