Scrooge McDuck, his icy heart softened by... light opera?! [RESTORED POST]
This is one of the first of (perhaps) many posts to come, ones which unfortunately didn’t manage to migrate over from our original instance, i.e. the late, great Lemm.ee. Much thanks to @emuspawn@geostationary.orbiting.observer ("David in Space") for tracking this one down.
In fact, I just realised that some instances seem to have completely archived our original content (while others seemingly did not), and can be searched without even being logged in there. 😀 I also see that Orbiting.Observer perfectly preserved the original comments (which are very interesting), which sadly tended to get lost across various other migrated posts.
Alrighty then, original text follows, with some minor updates:
Sometimes I forget that Disney comics are not just an American thing, but have been thriving in Italy since 1932, specifically via Topolino magazine and associated publications. Interestingly, the published output has not been solely Italian nor American-made, but evidently a mix of original content from both nation’s creators, plus others across Europe.

That’s the final, published cover above, from Topolino #3597 (Oct, ‘24), by Paolo Mottura & Mario Perrotta.
In recent years France’s Glénat publishing house has joined the fun, but has been tending to go in more gonzo directions, not unlike various creators doing guest shots on Lucky Luke.
Mickey et L’Ocean Perdu, thanks to BDT for the images.
Once again, the original comments were really good on that first post, so check ‘em out if you want to go a bit more in to the nuts & bolts of these fine comics.
