Beautifully irrational and beautifully hilarious. A "ten-page style" story extending to a double length, and it works so well! The first part has not a great rhythm, but anyway it has some strikingly funny panels (the ducks finding themselves with a real bombardier, the jealous Donald joke, the ducks actually praying on the plane...). The second part, starting more or less from the moment when Donald is declared a national menace, is an example of pure comic genius. The trial is damn funny. Putting that panel with the depressed Donald behind bars ("nobody loves me anymore"), in the middle of such a comic run, is like a comedian punch in the face to the reader: it almost killed me! | | Appie Aap | | | | Saturday, Oct 3, 2015, 09:31:16 AM | Not really worth the trouble. The basic adventure is good, but pages 14 through 25 are gags with mediocre success only to extend the story. | | XGorthanX | | | | Thursday, Jul 7, 2016, 06:10:48 PM | Probabilmente la storia più divertente che io abbia mai letto, fa veramente sbellicare dalle risate! Questo era il primo Barks, d'altra parte! | | K.I.S..A. | | | | Sunday, Apr 2, 2017, 07:23:38 AM | A little great, a little weak... | | PhileasFogg | | | | Thursday, Jul 4, 2019, 02:03:47 PM | Die Idee, dass Donald ein echtes Flugzeug kauft, ist ein guter Anfang, ansonsten sticht aber nichts für mich heraus. | | tonkduck | | | | Saturday, Feb 15, 2020, 10:44:49 AM | Not a big fan of this one. Starts pretty well and Volcano Valley is nicely designed, but half of the story is just one single joke repeated and gets quite tiresome. Maybe things have changed since then, but all that "look, it's funny because they are lazy and like siesta"... does nothing for me,i don't know. | | tregua78 | | | | Sunday, Dec 13, 2020, 09:54:05 PM | Il grande vulcano "Ferocio" è la copia identica dell'Aconcagua, così come viene presentata (una montagna "umanizzata" in forma di indios accigliato) nell'episodio "Pedro" del film di animazione Disney "Saludos Amigos" del 1942.
Per il resto ci sono alcune Gag comiche, ma la trama è troppo lunga ed alla fine stanca un po'.
| | marioandreaaldeghi | | | | Sunday, Jan 3, 2021, 01:21:15 PM | Una delle mie preferite in assoluto: divertente, avventurosa... impagabile Vulcanovia e la sua legge siestista, come il giudizio in tribunale, una delle mie sequenze preferite in assoluto! Anche il Gran Vulcano Ferocio è comicissimo e dovrebbe farci paura, ma a me fa crepar da ridere! | | Baturzo 82 | | | | Tuesday, Oct 11, 2022, 07:57:19 PM | Barks scrive una storia frizzante, ricca di trovate divertenti, che trova grande fortuna nella splendida ambientazione di Vulcanovia, piccolo staterello in cui anche un sassolino potrebbe in realtà rivelarsi un microscopico vulcano. Non particolarmente artistici ma efficaci i disegni, sia nella raffigurazione dei volti sia in quella dei paesaggi. Curioso che nell’edizione nostrana la moneta usata dai paperi sia la lira (perlomeno nel "Paperino mese" del 1989, in edizioni più recenti non so). | | Step88 | | | | Friday, Dec 23, 2022, 07:29:13 AM | D104. Volcano Valley. Australian Edition.
Odd story. Nice and clever touches throughout though. The value of 300,000 Volcanovian Pezozies in $U.S. The summary of Donald’s cars worth. The discovery of the two-hour siesta and its health benefits. The courtroom scenes.
