Do you know what came out today, 60 years ago?

"Zio Paperone e il kiwi volante" written by Abramo and Giampaolo Barosso and drawn by Giorgio Bordini is Rockerduck's very first italian story and his all time second appearance in comics.

First published on Almanacco Topolino #75 dated 1st March 1963, not only it marked the beginning of John's astonishing italian career but it also holds the merit of starting a brief new strike of stories starring Rockerduck written by american authors, first and foremost Fethry's creator Dick Kinney.

Bordini's Rockerduck is still very similar to Barks', so much so that some poses of the character are reproduced exactly from Barks' drawings in "Boat Buster". "Zio Paperone e il kiwi volante" is the only story in which Rockerduck's drawn by Bordini, starting from his third story the character then ends up in Romano Scarpa's capable hands who defines his ultimate design. A design moved forward by other great artists such as Giovan Battista Carpi and Giorgio Cavazzano.

Barks' panels from "Boat Buster" (1961) and Bordini's from "Zio Paperone e il kiwi volante" (1963) face to face.

Despite being such a corner stone for Rockerduck's character, "Zio Paperone e il kiwi volante" (which translates as "Uncle Scrooge and the flying kiwi") is not a very well known story. In Italy it got re-printed only three times (latest one being in 2006), while internationally it's been published only in Belgium, Brazil, France, Spain, Germany and Turkey with very few re-prints and in pretty old editions too 😔 (I know it's not the masterpiece of the century, but it's a fun 60s story and I'd like to see it get a re-print more often).

Fun fact: in "Zio Paperone e il kiwi volante" Rockerduck and Scrooge address each other as "Mr. Rockerduck" and "Mr. McDuck" and they use the courtesy pronoun "voi" (second person plural). They keep being... err... "formally civil" to each other until 1966 but only in stories written in italian, while in translated works (such as stories produced by Disney for the foreign market) they are on first name basis 🤷

"You'll have to walk over my dead body!" "That's exactly what I intend to do!" Their first italian brawl, rigidly on courtesy pronoun basis... history!

how does shanks manage to have some kind of sexual tension with every warlord in the sea whilst also having practically zero screen time. ramona-esque dilf of the east blue. luffy wants to be king of the pirates but is stuck sailing through the several deadly seas of his dad's evil exes. they see the straw hat and it activates their fight reflex. half-convinced that shanks gave it away with full knowledge of this

#one piece #son. return my hat after you've defeated my several evil exes #how does one man have so much divorced energy with so many people while also not being present to give this context #monkey d. luffy vs. the world #yeah im still watching the anime #forgive thy sins of weeb posting #opla #shanks #red haired shanks #mishanks #shuggy #CJ's op watch-through
