On 23 October the publisher Ehapa, holder of the rights of Disney comics in Germany, has released a volume of 100 pages dedicated to Luciano Bottaro. This is the tenth issue of the series "Die Geschichten von Donald Duck tollsten Spezial" a head like , at least in concept, our "Maestri Disney" in just after Christmas, we await the exit 35. Except Marco Rota, a tribute in the number 8, the output is the first Bottaro dedicated to an Italian author: previous numbers were in fact devoted, in addition to Rota and two special editions on Christmas Don Rosa, Vicar, Van Horn, Daniel Branca, Carl Barks and four authors of the new generation: Francisco Rodriguez Peinado, Cesar Ferioli Pealez, Kari Korhonen and Wanda Kitten.
The stories are reprinted in seven including five written by Charles Chen. Mainly it's stories produced for the Disney Studio, probably because the playback format, are absent topoi Master Ligure: Hazel nothing, nothing Rebo, no deformation or dreamlike adventures, short stories, but mainly to introduce the trait of the author .
The stories originally produced for the Mickey Mouse book are remounted on four strips very well (as opposed to what too often happens) and seems to have been produced for that number of cartoons to table. A good job, in short, plus the beautiful lettering Diego Ceresa that ques ta time, writes in italics, two pages of biography, written by Wolfgang J. Fuchs and a reminder of our letter.
An excellent book, in short, for German readers who finally have the opportunity to learn a bit 'as an author Luciano Bottaro. Too bad, as already noted, the absence of Bottaro most famous and interesting.
The book is currently on sale at newsstands in Germany at a price of Euro 4.50, or - if you're lucky enough to find in Italy - at a cost of 5.90 Euro.
The next "Die Geschichten von Donald Duck tollsten Spezial" will be released in Germany in mid-April 2008. Still we do not know who will be dedicated. Personally I hope we also remember the other Disney Italian Masters: Romano Scarpa in the first place, but also Giovan Battista Carpi, Massimo De Vita, and to follow all the others.
