Gianfranco, I can help you out a bit since my wife's
one of their archivists.  BTW, Louis Glanzman did a
lot of illustrations for them, ala:

Aikman, Lonnelle. 1975. Patriots in Petticoats
[illustrated by Louis Glanzman]. National Geographic
Magazine (October)

Here's the answer to your main question:

Unknown.  2002.
No Mickey Mouse artist: Donald's illustrator looked to
the Geographic [Carl Barks].
National Geographic (June)

Here's others relevant to this group:

De Roos, Robert and Thomas Nebbia (photographer).
1963. The magic worlds of Walt Disney. National
Geographic (August): 159-207

Grosvenor, Melville Bell. 1963. Walt Disney: Genius of
laughter and learning [editorial]. National Geographic
(August): 157

Some others:

Unknown. 2000. Out of this world [cartoonist turned
explorer Anthony Fiala]. National Geographic (January)

Su, Jennifer.  2002.
'Peanuts' gallery pays tribute to the art of Charles
M. Schulz.
National Geographic Traveler (September): EA3

and there was an Asterix bit in the 1960s that I don't
have a citation for at the moment.

One from their children's magazine:

Donovan, Amy. 2000. Spotlight on... Charlie Brown
['Peanuts' in children's magazine]. National
Geographic World (September): 27

Kiffel, Jamie.  2003.
Anime-nia! Why Japanese anime is so hot in America.
National Geographic Kids (January/February): 23-25

Anyone wanting a list of everything I've found so far
can go to the Comics Research Bibliography at
http://www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/comxbib.html but everything
else is mostly a list of Louis Glanzman illustrated
articles.
