This came up on the thread relating to the first DuckTales issue (#0), since it has a lake/sea monster on the cover. I said I had collected lake monster stories, and Rob showed some interest, so here's my current list:
Ducks:
1958 The Loch Eerie Monster (Carl Fallberg/Tony Strobl) DD 59 --McDuck ancestral castle on Loch Eerie, caretaker Angus; monster loves haggis
1960 Mystery of the Loch (Barks)
1970 Das Ungeheuer von Loch McDuck (Martina/Scarpa & Cavazzano) LTB Enten-Edition 11
1971 The Lake Mess Monster (Carlo Chendi/Bottaro) Picsou 186 --female lake monster (also great singer) destroys Beagle Boys’ fake-monster amphibious vehicle
1982 The Crying Monster or The Sobbing Serpent (Andrew Galton & Dave Angus/Vicar) DDA-D 31 --Castle McDuck at Dismal Downs (HDL refer to Old Castle’s Ghost), Bran Eiderbill caretaker, nephew Bucky & HDL rescue baby lake monster, return it to parents
1988 A Trip to Scotland: DuckTales (Neville Jason & Jack Sutter/Millet Lopez) Picsou 200
1992 What a Whopper (John Kane & Tom Anderson/Vicar) JM 2153 --Ducks free Nessie from rival hotel owner with Gyro’s monster-lookalike submarine
2000 Who’s the Monster? (Hanne Guldberg Mikkelsen, Kurt Behnke & David Gerstein/Pasquale Venanzio) LTB 275
Mice:
1960 Black Murdoch’s Warning (Fallberg/Bradbury) MM 70 --castle of Mickey’s distant cousin Malcolm MacMouse, bad guy Slurk, monster awakened by ancestor Murdoch’s bagpipes
1964 The Loch Mess Monster (?/Bradbury) MM 95 -–Mickey’s Uncle Murdoch’s castle; Mickey, M&F use mirror to try to scare haggis-seeking monster away
1977 Dilemma at Deep Cove (?/Murry) WDC 445 --Loch Niff (female) monster thinks the submarine is a baby monster
1980 The Monster of Lake Tiddy-wah-wah (Ed Nofziger/Jaime Diaz studio) JM 1554 --Mickey tells M&F story of a Goofy-headed lake monster in the tropics
1998 Loch Mess aka Il voit des monsters partout (Stefan Petrucha/Rodriguez Peinado) JM 2442 --Goofy finds monster’s key, so it follows him everywhere, but Goofy still doesn’t get a photo
2003 The Key to the Loch (McGreals/Ferioli) WDC 640 –villagers are shape-shifting dragons
Other:
1992 Sebastian in Scotland (Doug Murray/Bill Fugate) Sebastian 1 --Sebastian helps fish create a monster to scare off men planning to bomb fish out of lake
No stories about North American lake monsters. I actually suggested back on DCF that someone (Dave Rawson?) should write a story about Champ (monster of Lake Champlain in Vermont/New York/Quebec), and someone with Canadian cred should write a story about Ogopogo. The Chendi/Bottaro story could possibly be localized as a Champ story.
