Btw, according to my calculation, the next Van Horn volume will end with 3 Egmont 10-pagers, which is when his really good comics begin. His early Disney comics are okay, but pretty much everything that's planned for volume 3 and after that is great.
The one-pager His Money's Worth ( inducks.org/story.php?c=AR+126 ) is also included, but the editors forgot to list it in the table of contents.
Ugh—you're right! I thought we'd caught every last glitch. In this case, the error is actually mine, as I myself typed up the contents pages.
Correction: "His Money's Worth" is on Page 45, colored by Sanoma and Digikore Studios.
"Poisoned Palate"—billed in the book as being on Page 45—is really on Page 46, colored as credited.
This book had so many moving parts, and it was up to me to supervise the lot! To make sure the best-looking color was used, I had huge numbers of stories recolored from scratch, often mimicking vintage European or American printings for which electronic materials no longer survived. In other cases, no electronic files or printed photostats containing Bill's original English lettering could be found (even Bill was missing a few), so it had to be restored from earlier print copies.
NO color files survived on almost any of the covers, so we had to recreate almost all of that color. But it's done! Bwahahaha!

I liked his DuckTales work at Gladstone and his run on Donald Duck Adventures at Disney Comics (plus I think two Uncle Scrooge issues and a Big Bad Wolf gag). Even his lesser work (like the early gag pages, later 8-10 pagers that just seem to ramble on) is still fun to look at. Van Horn is one of the best cartoonists to work on these comics.
Unfortunately he is not so popular in Greece. His (father and son's)stories are currently being published in the monthly magazine ΚΟΜΙΞ and there is a general outrage about his stories and design.
Really? I love Van Horn, I know his style is kinda weird (especially the way he draws the Ducks' heads) but the guy is pretty funny. There was that one story in ΚΟΜΙΞ #156 called "Winging It" (great issue btw: cowboy captain of Cutty Sark and a good Scarpa story-ΚΟΜΙΞ was slaying it back then) which was hilarious.
Last August Van Horn's "Ten Cents of Panic" got published in the Brazilian Disney English Comics # 16. This makes this comic's first ever English language publication.
