Favorite Duck Comics
By request, some always-subject-to-change lists from which I may well have left some vitally important stories. Lists in approximately descending order. Only five Donald adventures because there are so many fewer than there are Scrooge adventures. I really ought to also make a list of Barks ten-pagers, as well as one of Gyro stories, but the problem is, there are a hell of a lot of those that I haven't yet read.

Dangerous Disguise
Big-Top Bedlam
Vacation Time
Lost in the Andes
A Christmas for Shacktown
Barks Uncle Scrooge Adventures
Only a Poor Old Man

no William Van Horn? I'm appalled. Its great finding other Scrooge/Donald Duck fans though.
I like some of Van Horn's ten-pagers (like them quite a LOT, actually), but I'm not a huge fan of those longer stories of his I've read. I will surely write about him one of these days.
Golden Helmet, Seven Cities of Cibola??
"Helmet," no, definitely not--I know Don Rosa pinpoints it as a favorite, but although I like it well enough, I wouldn't put it among my all-time favorites. "Cibola" I do like a whole lot, but I can't help feeling it lacks a certain dynamism--as Geoffrey Blum points out in an article somewhere or other, the action is...well, there isn't much TO it, really.
"The Menehune Mystery" ???
Didn't you did a review where you call it a shitty story?
I did. Clearly, I wrote this at a time when I hadn't read it recently and just had vaguely positive memories of it.
