>>154048028Not sure how true the below is, but:From what little I could find about this short christmas story, it seems it was made specifically on demand from the Nordic countries(but was also published in Poland?) Art and story was supposedly not properly credited, being credited to the entire italian WITCH team.

>>154048614End of the 2005 Christmas story.Assuming it really was ordered/commisioned by Egmont(who handles nordic distribution), it is actually quite possible this story was written by somebody not even on the Disney Italia team.That will be it for today's storytime.
>>154048228Based Nordics keeping Witch alive
>>154048228As far as I can research Sweden had 3 Christmas specials released, in 2004, 2005 and 2006
>>154048228It was definitely published in Poland, I remember reading it. I think it was included in a regular issue, I didn't really buy special editions. After some research, seems to have been issue 148, December 2008, squeezed between the Ragorlang arc and New Powers arc
>>154048888Yeah, the thing is that 2004 and 2006 were in Italy too(2004 was a calender for 2005 and a comic in one) while it seems 2005 wasn't.
>>154048696As for the writer, Danish antique comic dealers aren't really able to tell me anything about the team that worked on it
>>154049263Yeah that list of people credited is some good old nonsense.>Artibani was off the comic since a very early issue the previous arc(it was well over a year since his last work)>Barbucci seems to have stopped at issue 5Poor Campinoti ending up as just Cam.
>>154049645I imagine they think its too much of a hassle and just put the most prominent/OG people on there always
>>154040500Will's not taking it anymore.
>>154040593>>154040603I like that "ride or die for my love" Corny is the voice of reason here. She would have murdered Cedric just as easily.
>>154042703Poor Martin Chad aka Joel doesn't deserve this.
