Well, of course I don't think my request holds much credibility, but where else can I talk about this sort of stuff?đ .So whenever we get the next Scarpa volume, I'd like to see this story included in it. It's probably my favorite out of all of Scarpa's stories I've read so far!
Yeah, and I'd like to see it in English on high-quality paper. That's one story where the Scarpa digressionary narrative style is not a problem, since the story is a picaresque.

I fully agree. Itâs a loosely-plotted story but a fun one with some cool drawing (dig that penguin!). Plus, we would probably get it with the same excellent Gladstone I localization. Those were always top-tier work.
Marco Rota did a great cover for this one for a recent Italian reprint. America could really benefit from a book or two focused on prime Rota material.

That word still gives me the shivers. Only a good translation should be acceptable.
How so? Are you saying do you prefer something as close to Scarpaâs original product as possible? If so, thatâs actually why I called is a good piece of translating/localizing. There arenât a million contemporary references shoehorned in and it genuinely feels like Scarpa spoke English and directly ported his original 1956 work into 1956 English.
IMHO, thereâs a happy medium between what the likes of post-2018 IDW books did, and what pre-2018 IDW books did. I am all for throwing in a few extra gags, changing something that wouldnât make sense to Americans, stuff like that; changes that may be necessary or donât harm the story and its original intention. However, I think some past localizers occasionally went too overboard with throwing in their own pieces of work, at times totally rewriting a page of the story to fit their needs.
This isnât to shoot down anyone whoâs worked on these books before, but it is to say that I personally wouldâve preferred a different approach to porting over and Italian/Dutch/whatever story into English. Thatâs just me.
The Casty book was delayed a bit by printing issues, ultimately related to Covid supply-chain problems. I believe Kinney will be delayed a bit as well. (But please know they're still on the schedule, and looking beautiful...)

Awesome! I admire all the hard work you guys put into these. Canât wait to get ahold of my copies!

Disappointing news, indeed, but real world issues sadly exist.
I can't wait for the volume. It will be magnificent.
Appreciate all the hard work! The Disney Masters collection is hard on the bookshelves but good for the soul.

Is there a particular reason the next Murry volume doesn't list Carl Fallberg as an author? I've looked up and the stories seem to be written by him, just like in the previous volumes.
Also, how many volumes will it take to compile all the Fethry by Kinney and Hubbard stories?
I think it´s generally a problem that Inducks (and also fans and magazines) often doesn´t mention the authors (sometimes it´s hard to know them, sometimes it´s difficult to contact Indexers who are willing to add author-names). Therefore your question about Fethry-stories by Kinney/Hubbard is quite difficult to answer. More than 100 Fethry-stories have been written by Kinney before the first story of "The Chronicle" has been published (in Inducks one story mentions Lockman as author but I guess that this is wrong). Among them there are more than 50 stories by Kinney/Hubbard. When The Chronicle Series (with Donald and Fethry and Scrooge) started it was mostly Tony Strobl who draw the stories (and Kinney was the Writer, but in the Inducks he is rarely mentioned as the author which is a pity). "The Chronicle" (at least the stories published by the American Oversea Program between 1969-1974 when Kinney retired) consists of ca. 160 stories. Regarding the Murry-Mouse-Stories it was Fallberg who wrote the stories which will be published in the next volume. Later on many stories were written by Cecil Beard (sometimes he is mentioned as author; maybe he wrote some of the 24Murry-Mouse-pagers together with his wife Alpine Harper). I think that with Bird the quality increased so I hope we will also see these stories in the "Disney-Masters-Series". Anyway, having the possibility to read Kinney/Hubbard is fantastic and Gerstein really makes a great, great job.

You can always add any information you have by posting to COAzilla. If there are any difficulties in processing, well, we're only human. We often only have vague indications like "Kinney wrote most of these stories", and that's not specific enough to go by. If you have reliable information who the exact writer of a specific story was, we'd love to hear from you!
I didn´t want to critisize the Indexers, because it´s really a fantastic job which is done by the Inducks team and I am really grateful for it! Regarding the authorship of Kinney my source is the great Disney historian Alberto Becattini who spoke with Tom Goldberg, the Art director of the Oversea Program. Becattini told me that Dick Kinney was the author of the "Duckburgh Chronicle" stories. Some (few) of them he might have written together with Al Bertino but it is not (or rarely) known which of them. Sometimes the problem is that you only have a 99% evidence and the question is if this is reliable enough.
