That's not controversial. It's just bad taste!
Patrick Block,
Patrick Block is a writer, right? I am assuming that the series is an artist-oriented anthology, with the further bound of segregating da Mouse and the ducks in independent volumes. If you let go of these two bounds you can get super creative with the possibilities for anthologies!
Vicar
I guess you mean 'Vicar studios'. Never wandered why years after Vicar's death Vicar stories kept appearing? Joke apart, a good choice of Vicar's stories would make a nice volume showcasing a good variety of Egmont-writers in their best moments. (You can see that, no matter how much art-centric a series is, I always think in term of writing.)
or Daan Jippes and Freddy Milton solo volumes.
After a few solo stories in the early 80's, Milton decided not to devote any of his plot ideas to Donald Duck, as he felt quite frustrated on how the editor would butch his ideas. So he decided to only write his creator-owned series, and use Donald as a paycheck job, drawing other people scripts. And I mean, no disrespect for the D-coded writers, but you must really really really really - did I say really? - love Milton's art to buy a hardcover 190-pages volume full of...Frank Jonker stories!?
Jippes’ redrawn Barks Junior Woodchucks stories would make a nice book.
I wonder if we will see some of these in Barks's Fantagraphics library.
Monkey_Feyerabend: Patrick Block is a writer AND an artist. In addition to his own stories (written by Ron Fernandez or co-written with his wife Shelly Block), he also illustrated the final story Carl Barks was involved with, "Somewhere in Nowhere" (after a script by John Lustig).
And many of the already-released Disney Masters volumes have a mixture of duck and mice -- see all three Scarpa books, for instance. But they give the title to the character starring in what's considered the "lead" story in the book.
Bill Wright and Dick Moores for Mickey Mouse books would be nice, too.
Very much agree. Though, I'll add that a Dick Moores book could easily include both mice and ducks, as Moores did some very fun stories with both. The Norwegian Hall of Fame book with Dick Moores is one of my favorite volumes of that series.

These are two of my best friends. But, I'm not being prejudiced when i say that Frank Jonker is an excellent storywriter, and although Freddy may not have had his heart in drawing those stories by other writers as much as he did in drawing his own stories, but they were still drawn very well. By the way, your reference to them as "D-coded stories should have read "H-coded stories", as both were working for Oberon, De Geillustrerde Pers, VNU, and Sanoma Uitgevers, when they teamed up, - ALL Dutch Disney Comics publishers.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you about Freddy Milton. The artwork in his later Duck stories is pretty depressing to look at compared to his stuff from the 70s and early 80s. Very routine, and not particularly good-looking character models either.
An ongoing Dutch series highlighting artists is at issue 23 now. They've done Vicar, Rota, Van Horn, Bas Heymans, Colomer Fonts, Rosa, Jippes, Gulien, Wanda Gattino, Gulbransson, Branca, Vicar again, Jordi Alfonso, Korhonen, Tito Santanach Hernandez, Mau Heymans, Milton, Rota again, Verhagen, Bas Heymans again, Van Horn again, Beatriz Bolster, and Pat Block.
Of the ones that aren't planned in the USA yet, I'd most like to see a Jan Gulbransson story. Not because I'd buy it -- I'm not the target audience -- but because he wrote some excellent long-form adventure stories in the '80s that were never published in the USA. Stories like The Trillion Dollar Inheritance, The Bengal Tiger, and The World's Oldest Car, that sort of the anticipate the late '80s Verhagen adventures.
I think the 80s-90s Treasure series would also make a nice miniseries for American readers -- but that's a little OT.

How come you didn't find Volume 14? It's up on Amazon. (Edit: ah, seems it's only findable if you go into Amazon's own category for the Disney Masters series.)
Also, I recommend Inducks if you really want to "complete the picture". There you can easily find the answer as to why Barks is credited in the third Scarpa volume, for instance.

But inducks stops at volume 9, the series was not updated in the database since august 2019. That's where I started, I wrote it on my starting post, and that's why I was asking here.
I know the inducks, who do you think is that Monkey_Feyerabend that writes a lot of Barks and Rosa plot descriptions and trash talks Martina in the comment session of his most famous stories.
I also know the story of the letter where Barks suggested the idea for that Brigitta story. I hold the complete library of Romano Scarpa. (Well, mostly in digital, and mostly unread...but I have it! )

I have the story number six in this induck list. I read it from a Zio Paperone issue some 15 years ago. I still remember today the beautiful art. Very expressive ducks! Don't remember the story.
EDIT: oh, wait, I must have re-read it, since I find a comment on the inducks that I don't remember writing:
Very beautiful art, some of the panels involving Donald or Scrooge are beathtaking. But the story is not very good. Too much long. The same plot could have (maybe SHOULD have) been developed in not more that 24 pages...not 44!!!! I would say 9/10 for the art and 3/10 for the plot. Average 6/10.

Yes, H-coded is what I meant. I don't know if Jonker is an excellent storywriter. I remember Milton himself saying that he likes him. As regards me, the two or three stories signed by him that I find myself reading felt as such a waste of my time - and I am not one to overestimate the importance of his own time! - that since then I make sure not to read, not ever own, any of his stories again. But maybe I was just unlucky in crossing some not much-inspired stories by Jonker. In any case, everyone has his tastes, I guess.

Frank is a prolific storywriter, who has written hundreds upon hundreds of comic book stories, and is the only writer I have ever known who makes his entire living from writing stories for comic books. So, I definitely wouldn't judge his abilities by just having read 3 of his short stories. I have teamed up with him on 10 stories or so(from 10 to 14 pages(we even wrote one of 20 pages), and I think most of those are quite good.

Right, I didn't remember your first comment.
You wrote "Barks?!" as if it was a complete mystery to you why Barks was credited in a volume of Scarpa stories. That's why I mentioned Inducks. But I guess that's not what you actually meant.

Yes, I meant "should we actually count Barks as one of the authors here?". But you are right, if you 'don't know that I know' it is more natural to read what I wrote as "what the heck is Barks doing in there?"

You needn’t worry, very few of my “bad taste” ideas here are likely to come to fruition.
