I watched a Youtube video about Don Rosa (to any Americans reading: he's a famous Donald Duck artist) today, and learned that in 2023, Disney banned two of his stories from ever being published again, effectively preventing The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck from ever being reprinted.
The two banned stories both feature the character of Bombie the Zombie, who is an African voodoo zombie created by a white guy in the 1940s and you can probably infer the rest
Apparently the modern Don Rosa collections that were published already had a content warning much like the ones Disney puts in front of their old animated features and shorts that contain ~~racist~~ outdated elements but I guess that wasn't enough. Then again, the parent Walt Disney company has never given a single fuck about their comics side and treated the artists like absolute shit so this is completely on brand
Oh, he wasn't being paid- Disney has always treated their comic artists like shit. They're paid a flat sum per story to which they relinquish all rights and they can't collect royalties despite artists like Don Rosa being hot commodities in places like Europe where their names alone move tons of reprinted collections. It's still an improvement over the old days where the writers and artists weren't even allowed to be credited and no one knew who they were and all their work was just credited to Disney®
While the character of Bombie the Zombie and the story he originated in was created by Carl Barks in the 1940s and has aged poorly to say the least, Don Rosa tried to recontextualise the events when he was making The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck in the 1990s. How successful he was or how wise this was is up for debate but it wasn't exactly Tintin in the Congo
