Agreed. The Brazilian cover not only has better staging, it's also better drawn. Look at the U.S. cover - the heads aren't proportioned correctly, and Mickey and Goofy are just ugly. Here's the Brazilian cover, in case you didn't click through to INDUCKS. I think most of my cartoonist teacher pals would use these for a "do's and don't's" example in class!
The only thing I don't like about the Brazilian cover is Goofy's undulating ears, which are meant to convey fear in animation, but don't work that well in still images IMHO.
An interesting wrinkle from a recently published solicitation from IDW: Uncle Scrooge: My First Millions #3—Cover A: Marco Gervasio Fausto Vitaliano (w) • Stefan Intini (a) • Marco Gervasio (c) After amassing a fortune of two million dollars, you’d think that Scrooge McDuck would be content.

So that’s how the comic shops do it. They order 100 copies, gets 10 free RI variants they sell for $20 each and return 95 of the regular variants. Good business!
