Authors
Floyd Gottfredson
Author · 25 books
Arthur Floyd Gottfredson was an American cartoonist best known for his defining work on the Mickey Mouse comic strip. He has probably had the same impact on the Mickey Mouse comics as Carl Barks had on the Donald Duck comics. Two decades after his death, his memory was honored with the Disney Legends citation in 2003 and induction into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2006.
William Van Horn
Author · 17 books
William Roger Van Horn (born February 15, 1939) is an American cartoonist. Van Horn debuted professionally in his forties with the black-and-white comic book Nervous Rex (1985-1987). A huge fan of Carl Barks, from 1988 Van Horn became a Disney comics artist and writer, producing for decades Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories (occasionally with scripts by John Lusting), primarily for the northern European market. His son Noel Van Horn has worked extensively as a Disney cartoonist as well.
Frank Jonker
Author · 6 books
Frank Jonker is one of the most productive Dutch comic writers, and probably the one person in the Netherlands who can make a living out of this profession. He is a regular scriptwriter for the Dutch Donald Duck weekly and the girls' magazines Tina and Penny. Besides his work for magazines, Jonker is known for his full-length adventure comics made in collaboration with Hans van Oudenaarden ('Bob Evers'), Ijsbrand Oost ('Max Miller') and Danker Jan Oreel ('Hel'). Several of his comics on commission are based on true stories or historical events, such as 'Het Van Walraven-testament' (2009) and 'Nieuwe Vrienden' (2014) with artist Eric Heuvel, 'De Verdronken Paarden van Ameland' (2011) by commission of Penny magazine, and 'Japien de Joode' (2023) with Danker Jan Oreel.
