Never-reprinted stories

[cacou]

Looking for Disney comic stories (let's say, of more than one page) that have never been reprinted ever, we find some really obscure stories that are worth reading, if you actually can locate them.

In WDC, for instance, there are, as far as I know, only 2 of them:

inducks.org/story.php?c=W+WDC%20%2024-08

inducks.org/story.php?c=W+WDC%20510-02

Quite a few of the Studio stories are really hard to locate (often, they are not well described in Inducks, lacking scan or appearances):

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+63032 (this one is only available in a Yugoslavian publication from 1972, although it might in fact be Argentinian)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+64024A (published once in 1969)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+64057 (published once in Italy in 1965)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+68024 (published once in Brazil in 1974)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S%2071354 (in Yugoslavia in 1983)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+80202 (the one and only known publication is in 1983 in Mexico)

inducks.org/story.php?c=S%2086274 (only one publication known, in Egypt, in 1989)

In other countries, we find:

inducks.org/story.php?c=I%20AO%2056019-A (oldest never reprinted Italian story?)

inducks.org/story.php?c=H%2060dd08 (in the Netherlands)

inducks.org/story.php?c=W%20CTD%201%201-01 (oldest never reprinted story with Scrooge)

Here's a story that was only ever printed once, in Brazil.

It is notable for having an appearance by Juanella Van Damm.

Two significant ones that have never been reprinted:

Ho sposato una strega by Cavazzano: inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1785-A Probably the highest rated comic on Induck that has never been reprinted (it's currently ranked 332th)
Mickey agent secret by Ferioli: inducks.org/story.php?c=F+JM+89216 (okay, it was "reprinted" twice, but both reprints were publications reprinting or collecting the entire original 3 Le Journal de Mickey issues this appeared in, and it was never reprinted outside of France)

EDIT: decided to check which are the highest rated comics on Inducks that have never been reprinted outside of the country they were first published in. These are the only three in the top 1000, unless I am mistaken:

#332: "Ho sposato una strega" by Cavazzano - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1785-A -> not only never reprinted outside of the country it was first published in, but never reprinted, period. Disney banned its reprinting back in the 90s, not sure if the ban is still in effect.
#381: Lo strano caso del Dottor Ratkyll e di Mister Hyde - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+3070-1P -> according to a comment on Inducks, Disney banned its publication outside of Italy
#671: Le avventure della gemma Pippolina - inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+2060-1P

It would be interesting to re-run the query, after 6 years.
I noticed reprints have been found for at least 2-3 of the originally "un-reprinted" stories.

inducks.org/story.php?c=S+64024A is a weird redrawing of inducks.org/story.php?c=S+64024 done for a non-standard publication.
inducks.org/story.php?c=S+71354 was redrawn as inducks.org/story.php?c=D+S+71354
inducks.org/story.php?c=S+68024 was redrawn as inducks.org/story.php?c=D++1166

So in these cases the reason the non-reprinted version isn't used is because they have a better-looking variant of it they prefer using instead.

Good finds. But how to tell that the bottom two were re-drawn ? 
From the scan they look identical.

You’re right, and i think the respective Yugoslavian and Brazilian reprints might actually be the D-coded version, looking close. (Things like this have happened before so i wouldnt be surprised)

A couple more interesting cases:

the French series "Mickey à travers les mondes" totaling 134 pages has never been reprinted: inducks.org/subseries.php?c=MM+Worlds+Travel
two longer German comics:
- Duckburg in the Bundesliga: inducks.org/story.php?c=D%2FG+2015-001 (never reprinted)
- Turbulent Times: inducks.org/story.php?c=D+91313 (has been reprinted several times but only in Germany)
The Secret of the Duckburg Triangle: inducks.org/story.php?c=S+83097 (never reprinted)

Hm, you might be right. I initially thought the D-coded version had been redrawn to make the characters look more on-model, but on closer look the Yugoslavian and Brazilian reprints just have worse reproduction, not different art.
