1975: top year for Barks stories

The largest amount of Barks pages in the Weekly ever were published in 1975. This follows from the statistical picture that I made in 1985 (by hand).

In green we see the number of original Barks pages in a year. Reprint pages are shown in red. The 10 reprint pages in 1968 are a mistake by the editor. The 9 reprint pages in 1971 are the fireman story, reprinted in Weekly number 1000.
A print of something that was published before outside the Weekly (e.g. in an album) does not count as a reprint.

1975 was a top year, also because there was a Barks gag on the back cover every week. That means 52 extra pages.

We can clearly see the top years in the ancient times and in 1968 (mainly sequence stories), but also the lowlights of 1969 and 1984.

The favourite year of... David Gerstein

I hope you'll note somewhere the fact that Dutch weekly issue 06/1975 has the single best cover ever drawn for any comic. I have said it; thereby it is so! :-) :-) (Ahh, the best of Jippes!!!)

Daan Jippes - The face of the Weekly

Daan Jippes, whose first artwork appeared in the Weekly in 1972, has been the face of the Weekly for decades. Not only because he made many covers, but also by acting like an "art director", thereby guarding the quality of the other Disney artists. He also redrew a number of Carl Barks stories, where only bad copies were available. In this way, these rare stories became available for a large audience.

Below a photograph with Jippes (made in Den Bosch on 22-09-2001) and a fan drawing.
