...evidence of the Marx comic book which has been translated into seven languages and has sold 150,000 copies worldwide, the Donald Duck part of the effort is a success. Produced by award-winning Mexican Political Cartoonist Eduardo del Rio under the pseudonym Rius, the book relies on a barnyard of impish figures to add humor to the story of "Charlie" Marx ("Wasn't he one of the Marx Brothers?"one character asks early on).

Here, quirkiness is pushed almost to the the point of risk...
These few flaws arise from excess, from an ambitious giving of more than is strictly required. First Novelist William Wharton (the pseudonym of a Philadelphia-born painter now in his mid-50s and living in Paris) is nothing if not audacious, and his skills and determination make good on promises. Like his afflicted hero, Wharton tries the impossible, and the result, though linked to earth, mysteriously soars...
