The covers for the DD Extra's are always self-drawn by
a Dutch artist. But the ones from the Oom Dagobert
albums are "sometimes" real covers from Rosa or
combinations from Rosa-covers and a different
background. At the following link you can see the
covers (from album 53):

The covers from the Lifetimes stories are parts from
the real covers with a map at the background. But by
some albums they've a very strange view wich cover
they should use. Album 60 had as lead-story "Return to
Plain Awfull" but by the cover I think more about the
Barks story "The Prize of Pizarro". Also by album 67
with had as lead-story "Hearts of the Yukon" they used
the cover of "The Vigilant of Pizzen Bluff" wich was
the lead-story of album 68. And by that album they've
made a combination from the cover of "The Invader of
Fort Duckburg" and Buffalo Bill in some kind of fog. 

But for the interior illustrations as Harry mentioned
they use some good art from Don Rosa. And in some
earlier albums they had used some oil-paintings from
Barks.

Greetings Bernard
