Censorship and lettering in Barks comics

[Frank Bubacz]

Hi,

Fernando asked if there were any other censored Barks stories in the CBL 
apart from "Atom Bomb" and "Marco Polo". Yes, at least four: a cosmetic 
operation was carried out for the faces of the Brutopians in "A Cold 
Bargain" (US 17) as well as the faces of the natives in "Voodoo Hoodoo" (FC 
238)(including the zombie), "Bongo On The Congo" (US 33), and "In Darkest 
Africa" (MOC 20), although in the latter case it wasn't the censorship that 
ruined the story forever, was it? :-)

Mads asked about Gare Barks' lettering. Quite frankly, I don't know when she 
took over (because I only have the German CBL and can't compare), but I do 
know that she started to add details, backgrounds and stuff from WDC 153 
("Worm Weary") onwards. I guess that her lettering started around the same 
time.

Hope it helps,
Frank
