Dear Folks,

As of June 28, 1993, my new E-Mail address will correspond to my
Dad's office at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This is:

gerstein at math.ucsb.edu

That's what my dad has been *told*, so it'll be the last word for
now. (But UCSB is known for screw-ups of one kind or another.)

So starting on that date, that's my E-Mail address. Per, if you
could, please start sending the digests THERE on that date.

Your friend,

David Gerstein

Giovanni says he lives in "RI", which could mean Republic of Italy. Maybe
he wants an Italian version of the comic? If so, maybe Luigi could help.

The message is an exact copy of a posting to the newsgroup
rec.arts.comics.misc. That's where Giovanni must be referring to...

Per, maybe it is time to put an advertisement again on this newsgroup?

I just received the newest (?) Asterix title from a friend in Hannover,
Germany, and inside was a catalog from a local book store.

Thumbing through the catalog, I discovered all sorts of interesting titles.
Ehapa Verlag is, I assume, the German publisher of Disney titles. They
publish a variety of titles in both soft and hard cover.

While I will not list all of the titles they offer, there is one that I
thought would be of interest to this group.

"Barks Classics SC 1, 2, Barney Bear ................ a' 19,80" (US $11-13)

The address for this bookstore (which I do not endorse in any way, as I
have no experience with them, I'm just listing it as a source) is

Trivial Book Shop
Marienstrasse 3
30171 Hannover

Tel. (0511) 329097 Fax 329774

The catalog title was Trivial News, which did not have a price listed.
Among the other catalog titles is USA COMIC Versandliste A 5 DM 3,00 .

Just thought you'd like to know...

Where is Tom Galloway? He's supposed to have a report for me!

Dear Folks,

I was slightly delayed in my departure today, so I had a chance to
check my E-Mail one final time. I found a Digest on it, usually cause for
delight, but unfortunately, its appearance means that my Disney E-Mail is not
being sent to my new address, which will be effective TOMORROW.

This is,

gerstein at math.ucsb.edu

I hope this time will be the clincher.

Thanks a lot, folks.

Your friend,

David Gerstein!

(I'll get your messages in 2 weeks, folks, and you'll hear from me
then)

David accidentally sent some file retrieving commands to the list.
Those ftpmail commands should go to ftpmail at lysator.liu.se instead,
but the whole of lysator has been gone from the net for some time now,
so it isn't accessible anyway.

I've heard that some cracker used their machines as relay machines and
they lost their net access for some time because of it, but I'm not
sure. I hope it will sort itself out so I won't have to find a new
place for the archives.

"Gladstone Proudly Presents Epic Mickey and Goofy!

"Occasionally, a publisher happens upon a new or heretofore
undiscovered "treasure" significant enough to justify a celebration. Such
is the case now, with regard to an exciting collection of Mickey Mouse
gems Gladstone has unearthed.
"In the late 1970s and early 1980s the Walt Disney Studios
produced approximately 20 feature-length stories featuring Mickey and
Goofy. Many were written by Greg Crosby, now Vice President of
International Marketing at Disney, and all were drawn by Jaime Diaz at his
finest. Those familiar with some of the more recent output of the Jaime
Diaz Studios in Argentina are perhaps wondering what we're getting excited
about. Simply that Diaz' earlier material, represented by these Mickey
and Goofy epics, are a completely different matter. With them, the page
layouts are innovative and the art work is densely packed with background
details and humorous gags worthy of Harvey Kurtzman's MAD comic books.
"These 40-page plus stories were created by Disney to distribute
to licensees worldwide for publication but, to our knowledge, few were
ever used, possibly due to their length. We at Gladstone feel that the
high quality of art and humor in these tales should not be kept from our
readers, and so we have decided to print six of the best in Donald and
Mickey over the next few years. Most will be serialized over three
issues, but as a special introduction to Gladstone fans, we will run the
first story, "A Very Goofy King Midas", in its entirety in our double-size
issue of Donald and Mickey #20.
"Reproduced above is one page from this wacky take off on the King
Midas myth. If the style and technique apparent here appeals to you,
you're sure to love this story's other 43 pages.
"Watch for Donald and Mickey #20--a big 64-page comic book for
just $2.95--available at comic shops this September, and give our Mickey
and Goofy find a try. We know you'll be glad you did."

Actually at least 14 of these have been published in Sweden:

Title Pg Code
------------------------------------------------
Goofy da Vinci 44
Goofy Columbus 44
Goofy Galileo 44 S 76159
Mickey Marco Polo 44 S 76179
*Goofy Beethoven
Goofy Gutenberg 44
Goofy Arthur 44
*Goofy Ulysses
Goofy King Tut 44 S 78096
King Goofy Midas 44
Goofy Eiffel 44
Around the World in 80 Days 44
*Goofy Wilhelm Tell 44 S 80135

These were published in a series of albums here (``Laangben --
Historiens m"astare''), and the titles above are what they say the
original title was. Asterisked forms for those who doesn't tell or
for those I don't have so I can't check. Those I don't have lack info
on page count as well, even though it's probably 44 for those too.

There are some funny gags and situations in those stories, even though
they are not very Disneyesque. Other opinions?
