DescriptionI have listed all Don Rosa's homage/parody non-Disney comic book covers earlier herehttps://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1565869 and lately here missing 5 pcs: https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=2069769 And the very last one is here... but not any poster but the real deal: original artwork! :-) The model for this cover was the western comic book Tim Holt's number 17. The original, Frank Fazetta's cover fascinated Don Rosa from a little boy and finally he drew a Disney-version of it in the 1990s. This artwork was originally intended to be a birthday present for Pekka Tuliara, who was Roope-setä comic book's editor in Finland. He was also a big fan of old Western movies. I acquired this artwork from his estate when the Finnish Comic Museum sold it. Don liked his drawing so much that he suggested NAFS(k)uriren (in Sweden) to use it and so, the fanzine made it cover for its issue 31 and even as a color print. I bought this NAFS(k)uriren #31 from Sweden, it was shipped to Finland, I took it to Praha and then finally to Baltimore Comic Con 2024 to get Don's signature there ;-) The artwork is really amazing!! So many details and so fine homage for Frazetta's cover! BTW, HA sold that artwork a few years ago (71.7t$): https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/covers/frank-frazetta-tim-holt-17-cover-ghost-rider-original-art-magazine-enterprises-1950-/a/7104-91106.s? This is how Don kindly replied to me and wrote about his artwork "... I am *certain* that the cover of TIM HOLT #17 has *always* been my favorite western comics cover ... It’s one of the best drawings I ever did for anyone" Social/Sharing |

Rosa is as popular as a rock star where you are. This is one that plays to European comics fans as both Scrooge and westerns continue to be very popular.
