les héros de Donaldville supplements

[Matilda]

I just bought on eBay.fr a lot of supplements from Journal de Mickey 2013-15, "les héros de Donaldville" (plus Mickey from the Mickeyville set). This lot includes #2-7, 9 and 10: Daisy, Scrooge, HDL, Gyro, Gladstone, Fethry, Beagle Boys and Magica. #1 must certainly have been Donald. Anyone know who was #8? And was 10 the complete set?

Speaking of these supplements, I am intrigued by their Magica illustration.


... because they used this specific drawing in a 1995 story, Irrompono gli Y-Bassott ("Here come the Y-Beagle-Boys")


This Magica drawing is very weird. The story is drawn by Santiago Barreira (though officially by "Comicup"), and Magica looks different in the rest of the story: for one thing, Magica has eyes separate from her beak in all other panels and is less "cute" than she is here.

Here, it looks like they used a Magica illustration done by someone else... for some reason.

I asked this on the Papersera forums, and they think this "cute" Magica was drawn by Alberto Lavoradori. It somehow resembles his style, but I don't have enough reference pictures to compare.

That is indeed very curious! Did they just have this Magica illustration on hand in the office, and used it to replace a panel that had a problem or something?

I hope the story at least had a reason for her to be holding a ball (is it a crystal ball, do you think?).

No, she never holds a crystal ball in the story. She flies a broom. She makes a potion to give the Beagle Boys superpowers (superstrength, flight and ice ray) by tossing comic book pages in a cauldron. She uses a wand to make Blackheart Beagle fly in a garbage can.

This panel is odd. In case you want to know, it says "What's happening, you already know, don't you?"

Ha! Inducks *does* index the Journal de Mickey supplements...it just me quite a while to find them. So, it turns out that #8 is Duck Avenger, and #11 is Donald Duckling. That makes three "heroes" who are avatars of Donald!

The finnish version doesn’t include the caption box. It was probably added by the french editor. i.ibb.co/cg9hMyZ/D30-A9-F25-273-E-47-B1-AF72-7-E7-CB0-A65-F59.jpg

Wow, that is very weird. 


Why would they do that? Did they just feel like being cute?
