But - tadaa! - now someone got interested in the theme and "Micky, Donald
und ihre Väter" (working title, = "Mickey, Donald and their fathers") will
be published in April 2002.

Sounds very interesting! I wish my German was much better than it actually
is...

unknowing public what happened to Disney-Comics after Taliaferro,
Gottfredson and Barks. I mean: GREAT creators that followed their footsteps.
Like Rosa or Rota. Now:
Who would you include? (4-5 names) Where would I find informations on their
individual biographies and bibliographies?

Romano Scarpa, to start with. Have a look at Eta Beta's "Last Balaboo"
