Disclose Notes: First appearance of Emil Eagle, who will become a recurring villain throughout various Disney comics in America and abroad. Here, and in his second appearance in Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #109 (September 1966), Emil will be "flesh colored" (likely in reference to his being a "bald eagle" in this story).

With his third and fourth appearances, simultaneously in Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #118 (March 1968) and in the Mickey Mouse serial beginning in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories (Western, 1962 Series) #330 (March 1968), Emil is pictured with "brown feathers" (presumably he invented - or stole - a good baldness cure), and would appear as such for the remainder of the Western Publishing Disney comics run.

In modern European stories, some reprinted in the USA in recent years, Emil Eagle is completely "white".
