I just want to mention Carl Barks here. Duck comics might be ony made for Europeans, it was still a great artist from America who created the world behind those comics.

His tales offer a mordant satire of Western imperialism and America's obsession with wealth, success, consumerism, and technological mastery, offering one of the few communal, ecological visions in popular culture.

Lost in Andes was my first introduction with imperialism as a kid. Afraid the new Ducktales will just be another white washed version missing the bite of the Barks' comics.
A little background: This family tree was drawn by Don Rosa, based on the duck stories written by Carl Barks over decades.
Rosa asked Carl Barks about some inconsistencies in the duck genealogy for the family tree, but Barks only provided the minimum sketch to resolve the question, believing that a definitive tree wouldn't be right for the spirit of the stories.
