I'll undoubtedly take a look at Scarpa, too, and any other I might stumble across. And thanks for the warning on Barks; I'm not too keen on him, either, when he's not doing mythoologically or historically inspired stories.

While he obviously isn't always as strong, especially in later years, that man's made some of the best comics I've ever read, and he did so with characters so long used by so many different creators, it's a wonder anyone ever manages to make fresh, exciting stories with them. You should also check out the Romano Scarpa and possibly Marco Rota-books of the series, if you're buying individual volumes. Especially Scarpa is highly recommended by me. There are also two or three really good Mickey-author/artist-books in the series, let me know if you're interested and I'll double-check which ones were the really good ones before I tip you. :) The entire series of books, though, is lovely, which is why I keep subscribing despite the very steep price. I just wish they'd skip the Barks-ones, they honestly don't interest me at all, the themes of the books are lousy - "here's a bunch of stories Carl Barks wrote that involves cars somehow", "here's a bunch of stories Carl Barks wrote that involves food somehow", etc - and the stories have all been rerun in the D&D-magazine so much I was sick and tired of them ten years ago. If they make a "Here's a bunch of storis Carl Barks wrote that involves mythology or world travel somehow"-book, I'll be happy for it, 'cause I of course love Barks stories almost as much as the next guy, but 'til then, I could do without these reruns of countless gag-stories. (Let the Barks-fanatics subscribe to the complete Carl Barks Library-series instead. ) I can recommend the entirety of “Hall of Fame” - though I easily could do without the Barks-volumes, to be frank - but especially the DR-books.
