Die Rote Magenta

Ich bin darauf gestoßen, daß die in unserer Welt existierende Rote Magenta noch bis November dieses Jahres im National Postal Museum in der amerikanischen Bundeshauptstadt Washington ausgestellt ist – zusammen mit dem Donald-Duck-Heft von 1952, in dem Barksens Jagd nach der Roten Magenta zum ersten Mal erschienen ist. So gehört sich's. Die englischsprachige Wikipedia hierzu: In November 2014, the National Postal Museum of the Smithsonian Institution announced that the then-anonymous owner of the stamp had agreed to display it at the museum in Washington, DC, beginning in June 2015 and running through November 2017. Next to the Postal Museum exhibit is a copy of a Donald Duck comic book, The Gilded Man, (OS 422) from 1952 whose central plot element revolves around Donald and his nephews, Huey, Louie and Dewey, going to British Guiana to try to find another copy of the stamp. The comic is written and drawn by the legendary Carl Barks, who wrote over 500 comic stories, almost all involving Donald Duck and his Uncle Scrooge McDuck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British\_Guiana\_1c\_magenta Die Rote Magenta auf der Netzseite des Museums: https://postalmuseum.si.edu/stampgallery/magenta.html Das Museum zum Barks-Bericht: The 1952 comic book Walt Disney’s Donald Duck and the Gilded Man introduced a generation of young readers to the story of the One-Cent Magenta. It features Donald and nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie traveling to British Guiana in search of the elusive stamp. They find it among the treasures hoarded by El Dorado—the fabled golden man of South America—and are handsomely rewarded by a wealthy collector. https://postalmuseum.si.edu/stampgallery/magentatimeline.html Von Barks allerdings kein Wort. 🤬 Mir war bisher gar nicht so klar, daß es die Rote Magenta auch in unserer Welt gibt. Falls das in den Carl-Barks-Werkausgaben irgendwo in den Begleittexten erwähnt wird, hatte ich es wieder vergessen.
