DescriptionI'm not telling you, again, what an outstanding artist Alberto is. But he surely is.The "Duck" Thing. You will probably wonder what the idea behind this illustration is... simply put, exploring new concepts, worlds, pushing to the edge while keeping an eye on the tradition. Not an easy task, but no one better than Alberto can accomplish that. And here we are. An homage to both Rodolfo Cimino's ducks' family adventures around the world (searching for some hidden treasure) and John Carpenter's The Thing movie. We have Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews facing a beast that is part the Thing and part Alien, really scary anyway. Donald has a flamethrower!!! Whoa! This illustration, like the very best illustrations, tells you a story (a story that I'd love to read). It is rich in quotations, and you can also read it if you carefully scratch beneath the surface, revealing its many layers, like an allegory. It is hauntingly beautiful. I'm also including additional images, which include the prelim, a color version by Alberto, and a few close-ups.
