Milan, 24 January (askanews) - Mickey Mouse honors journalist Vincenzo Mollica on the occasion of his 70th birthday with "Donald Duck, Paperoga and Paperica and the hunt for a thousand VIPs," an unpublished tale starring Vincenzo Paperica, the reporter Duck with a passion for the world of cinema, with illustrations by Giorgio Cavazzano and a screenplay by Roberto Gagnor. With the 1995 Topolino story Paperino Oscar del centenario, which was written by Mollica and illustrated by Cavazzano, the chronicler Vincenzo Paperica made his first appearance on the magazine's pages. Since then, he has appeared in 16 additional stories, often alongside other authors like Tito Faraci and Fausto Vitaliano who frequently team up with Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and other characters.

The story can be found in Panini Comics issue 3505, which goes on sale on Wednesday, January 25, at comic book stores, newsstands, and online at panini.com. The reporter's return to the Mickey Mouse pages prompted Vincenzo Mollica to make the following observation: "Seeing Paperica again in action gives me immense happiness.".

In this seventeenth adventure, Paperica is prepared to make a triumphant return to Duckburg with a new journalistic task: to assist donald duck and Paperoga in conducting a thousand interviews with Calisota's VIPs. In fact, a "challenge" is currently underway between Uncle Scrooge and his PaperSera and archenemy Rockerduck and his new tabloid. The story is supported by a lengthy interview with the journalist and the authors' reflections on the plot and the characters.

As a reader, Vincenzo felt that there should be a Disney character connected to the worlds of film, literature, theater, and music, according to Giorgio Cavazzano. Vincenzo asked me to continue Andrea Pazienza's earlier drawing of the character, but there wasn't much to change; instead, I rounded the shapes and made it "three-dimensional.". In 1995, he was made the main character of "Donald Duck Oscar del Centenario.".

Then, after many hours spent on the phone with him during which he gave me the script to draw, I joyfully reinterpreted him in numerous stories. In contrast, according to Roberto Gagnor, "this is a story about those who love to tell stories, as Vincenzo Mollica has done and has been doing for years, master of an affectionate but attentive, popular but cultured journalism, far from the excesses of certain news today.".
