An almost-all Carl Barks issue: two 10-pagers and two fillers. The two other pages are a centerfold spread by Don Rosa, which deservedly got a lot of attention with the publication of US #275. (Note our thumbnail reproduction of it.) The cover is an unusual full-color painting of Scrooge and Donald in the money bin (layout by Bob Foster, pencils by Jim Franzen and colors by Dave Hunt).
Under the credits for “Christmas Cheers,” Barks’ 10-pager from Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #268 (January 1963) is the following claim:“(Note to collectors: this is this story’s first appearance in America since its original printing!).” WRONG ! Three years earlier (in August 1990) this story first appeared in America on pages 415-424 of Set X in Volume II of The Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, published in hardcover by Another Rainbow (parent of Gladstone). By the time this erroneous claim was made Bob Foster had moved to Europe. We’re sure if he’d still been editor this error would not have been made.
Unfortunately, at this time Gladstone’s inventory of Uncle Scrooge #275 is Sold Out
