A Guidebook to the Carl Barks Universe (test)

CBL-notes: Heavily retouched and relettered. The editors must have used a very bad source, since a lot of originally bold lettered words are gone in the new lettering.
The Carl Barks Library of 1940s Donald Duck Christmas Giveaways in Color No. 1 has a more detailed reproduction quality, but it looks as being retouched often. Could this a redrawn version? Contains bold lettering. (Does this bold lettering fully match with the original publication?)

Questions: Do you have information on the source of the reprint in The Carl Barks Library of 1940s Donald Duck Christmas Giveaways in Color No. 1?

CBL-notes: Retouching occurs throughout the story, most noticable in Donald's face in the bottom half of page 3 and in panel 7.4.

In The Carl Barks Library of 1940s Donald Duck Christmas Giveaways in Color No. 1, the retouching of panel 3.8 is a bit better (although in the original artwork Donald's beak couldn't be seen entirely because of the water falling on it). The ugly eye of Donald in panel 7.4 is still there.

Additional credits: Barks' list notes that he was paid 20 dollars for rewriting the script for this story.

Changes: If "The Carl Barks Library - Set VI" has printed the story as it first appeared, then something must have happened before the story saw print, because some of the expressions on the ducks' faces look as if they're drawn by someone other than Barks. Detailed information
