Donald Duck Mestertegnerne #6

Donald Duck Mestertegnerne, or 'The Master Cartoonists,' is a Norwegian anthology series dedicated to archiving the work of legendary Disney comic creators. Issue number 6 focuses on the distinctive style and storytelling of Vicar, the pseudonym for Victor Arriagada Rios, a prolific Chilean artist who contributed significantly to the Disney comic canon starting in the 1970s. This series was designed to appeal to adult collectors and long-term fans by curating specific thematic or author-led retrospectives, elevating the medium from disposable children's fare to a recognized body of artistic work.

The editorial approach of this volume emphasizes the evolution of the Donald Duck universe through the lens of Vicar’s unique character designs and humorous pacing. By framing the stories as a curated collection, the publishers intended to provide a comprehensive view of how these artists shaped the visual identity of the franchise over several decades. Upon release, the series was well-received by the Nordic comics community for its high production quality and its efforts to preserve the legacy of artists who are often overshadowed by earlier pioneers like Carl Barks.
