As an American Donald Duck and comic book fan, I've always been envious of all the Donald Duck comics the Europeans get while we Americans are left in the lurch. We have the Carl Barks and Don Rosa stuff, but Europe is still getting all-new Donald Duck comics every month. I've been hoping and wishing for a legal way to procure an English translation of the Paperinik comics, but so far, there's only been a fan translation that I'm pretty sure is no longer available. They kinda remind me, from how they are described, of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics. Which sounds friggin awesome. As it stands, though. Anyway, I love this art. Keep up the good work.

I've been a bit fan of Paperinik for 10 years since I started drawing ducks, so I thought to recreate a scene from the comics, the one where he fought the Contaminator and got his boots nabbed by his tractor beam.

There is such a divide on how the West treats Donald Duck over the East. Disney's Magical Quest 3 is a perfect comparison, where Donald is seen dressed in a barrel and a cooking pot, and this is his official knight armor, as opposed to several European comics that depict him dressed as an actual knight. I've seen him dressed as a superhero, soccer sports star, secret agent, and various other jobs, where here he is seen as only means of slapstick. A lot of Paperinik comics I only obtained by purchasing them from an Italian vender over ebay, and paying through the teeth to have it shipped over. They are constantly making tons of comics and producing lots of toys over there. I'm definitely envious of the kids there who can get access to all of these things. Duck Avenger is slowly getting recognition over the states, as I have been seeing some English publications of his newer adventures. Still, it is a shame there there is so many Disney Comics that will never get localized in the states. I can kind of see the comparison to Sonic with the new PK stuff, aliens, sci fi tech, robots, and the dialogue is very heavy. Glad to see there are Paperinik fans out there that are wanting to see more of him!
Duck and Boots! :D
