Right. The article (only 6 pages) is by Erik Svane. I guess this is a
Scandinavian guy? Stripschrift didn't print the original publication of the
article.
Accompanied are a few nice photographs of Barks in Disneyland.

This is the painting Barks made for the 1977 edition of Overstreet's price
guide (#7). They (again) don't mention that. This reproduction does not have
the Price Guide logo, and is bigger than the Guide. So it must be a copy of
the original painting. I hadn't seen this version before.
(And I happened to buy that Price Guide in San Diego, just a few months
ago...)

Plus some photographs of Barks' visit to Holland in 1994.

Not bad, all in all. But it could have been much better...
