A Guidebook to the Carl Barks Universe

CBL-notes: Redrawn, relettered and censored. Pages 1 to 5 and page 10 are redrawn by Daan Jippes, the other pages are redrawn by Dick Vlottes. Jippes and Vlottes followed the original and did not do the censoring (except for leaving out panel 15.3).

The faces of the natives are changed, thick lips and pointed teeth are removed. Original panel 15.3 is removed. It pictured two cannibals showing their pointed teeth, saying that they'll eat the ducks at moonrise if the professor doesn't tell them to let go. Panel 15.4 is extended in width to fill the gap. The dialogue is changed at various places, references to cannibals are removed. Originally, the cannibals were bribed with "two false teeth", in the censored version they get "confederate dollars".

Notes: Barks later made a new version of this story, titled Donald Duck in "Forbidden Valley".

CBL-notes: Redrawn by Daan Jippes, directly into the Dutch language (as he usually or always) did. This is visible in panel 2.4, where the name "Dagobert" appears on the lawyer's note instead of "Scrooge". In panel 8.2, the name "Kwaak" appears on the boat instead of "Quack". Dialogue is taken from the original comic or relettered, most likely both.

Originally, the natives all had black hair (except the mayor on page 14) while Jippes left their hair blank. Besides this, the story has no (intended) differences with the original.
