Disney Treasures: Uncle Scrooge

David Gerstein and his pals at Gemstone are putting out a second volume in their comic book companion series to the Disney Treasures DVDs, Uncle Scrooge: A Little Something Special.

This volume will feature an extensive overview of the character's many artists. None of the others are even close to Carl Barks' level, but guys like Romano Scarpa, Don Rosa, and Bill Van Horn have done some really solid work (all of whom are featured here).

Donald Duck - Timber

Here is a really good Donald Duck cartoon from 1940, directed by Jack King. It features some beautiful animation by Ed Love and Emery Hawkins. The mine cart chase is wonderfully executed.

I also scanned some of the storyboard from this cartoon (art by Jack Hannah and Carl Barks) for your enjoyment. Hannah did the ones that look a little more refined, while Barks did the looser, cartoonier drawings. Absolutely inspirational!

The Mystery at Hidden River pt. 5

Final part! Strips from December 29, 1941 to January 17, 1942.
FIN!

The Mystery at Hidden River pt. 4

Strips from December 8 to December 27, 1941.

The Mystery at Hidden River pt. 3

Strips from November 11, 1941 to December 6, 1941. This is the last time Gottfredson used one of my favorite comic strip villains, Sylvester Shyster.

The Mystery at Hidden River pt. 2

Strips from October 27, 1941 to November 11, 1941. Native American stereotypes to follow from hereon.

Gottfredson - The Mystery at Hidden River pt. 1

More goodness from that genius Floyd Gottfredson. This is a really rare one, "The Mystery at Hidden River", one that has never seen publication in modern times in North America, probably due to all of the Native American gags.

Strips from October 6th, 1941 to October 25th, 1941.
