While the Walt Disney Corporation is very well known, and Mickey Mouse is
recognizable around the world, the creators who work for Disney are not.
The only creative Disney person that the public knows anything about is
Mr. Disney himself. Few people know about the Old Men, like Ward Kimball,
let alone about the creators who worked on the comic strips and comic
books. I haven't seen the yearly Postal Service statistics that most
publishers are required to publish, put recent direct market (comic book
stores) figures show Gladstone with a 0.25% share of the "fan" market.
If Marvel (which owns the newsstand distributor rights) is an intelligent
marketeer, then Disney comics should sell very well in newsstands and
non-comic book stores. That is where the future of Disney comics lies, as
how many of us in the United States bought Western and Gold Key comics at
a comic book store?

Dear Folks,
Here's my Disney Comics K-Index. Hardly any time to talk now.
Many of Disney's first stories had no identification when they
appeared over here. A few of the Van Horn codes come from foreign
listings thanks to that new Van Horn list!!!! And now...

Uh, oh... The punctuation marks partly came out as different
things due to the transfer from MacWrite to E-Mail and I don't have
time to fix it now!
If you throw this on FTP for now, I'll have a better version
in a week or two.

Here's my Disney Comics K-Index. Hardly any time to talk now.
Many of Disney's first stories had no identification when they
appeared over here. A few of the Van Horn codes come from foreign
listings thanks to that new Van Horn list!!!! And now...

Uh, oh... The punctuation marks partly came out as different

If you throw this on FTP for now, I'll have a better version

Hi all,
A little while ago someone emailed me about a couple of Disney
Aladdin comics that were *not* a movie adaptation. Can one
of you remind me what these stories were about (I think that they
were Jafar stories).

I remember reading about this 0.25% figure recently, and I wasn't
exactly clear on what it meant. From your posting, I gather that
these sales figures don't include subscription or newsstand sales. Is
this the case? I've also heard theorizing that the current comic book
glut may push Gladstone out of the market, but I tend to take that
with a grain of salt. After all, quality never goes out of style...
:-)
However, I am curious just how Gladstone is doing sales-wise, and I do
wish that they would do some sort of advertising or promotion just to
make people aware of the high-caliber work that's being done these
days.
I know that the comic book stores in Boston sell out in one day of the
few Gladstones that they order (except for "Donald and Mickey"). In
spite of this, none of them increase the size of their orders. So
there are probably many people who would read Gladstones if they ever
saw them.
Additionally, there are those who don't normally read Disney comic
books who would love to read Don Rosa's "Life of Scrooge" series
(based on it's quality alone) if they knew that it was coming out and
had any idea at all what it was like.
And the only marketing I've ever seen from Marvel has been for
X-superhero-TM-angst books.

As for worst stories I don't know. Probably it's something I've
forgotten all about.

Scrooge is also in the earlier "Rags to Riches" (DDOS 356), and I
think that is the first one unless he also appears in "DD and the
Magic Fountain" (DDOS 339) which I can't check.

Ah, I like that one too. (It's in Kalle Ankas Pocket 4 in Sweden,
published in 1969. Well, really it says MCMXIX, but I don't believe
that!) The bird just eats half a fish a week.

In Sweden it's also in some undefined country, but they use Swedish
crowns. In German they use "Taler" which is the etymological
counterpart to dollars and helps to set the Duckburgian world apart I
guess.
I also wonder who this Cavazzano is. How come Luigi lists him as
his favourite author next to Barks and Topi says that anything by
Cavazzano is the worst?

That's not very strange I think. The ham steak is from an *animal*
pig, and Argus McSwine is a *man* pig. That man/animal distinction
exists for all species, except for men who all are "man men" (but they
aren't that frequent anyway). What I think *is* strange is that the
ducks get so worried in The Gilded Man when they see stuffed (animal)
ducks.

Thanks to David for all those German and Italian names. I'm sure
Fredrik will incorporate them into the name list, but you should have
looked at it first, and not only at what we wrote here on the list in
prehistoric times, as some of those names were there already.
I find it interesting that Fethry was in a lot of Whitman comics of
the sixties. Who did those? They weren't the Fethrys by Al Hubbard
that were published over here, were they?

I wouldn't notice what he's called in the scripts as the Swedish
tranlator will call him Bolivar anyway. After all that was his
original name.

I put an ad for this list on rec.arts.disney (and
rec.arts.comics.info) when creating it. Besides that I've only
mentioned it while I was talking anyway whenever I've written
anything about Disney comics on the Net (not very often). I've seen
Harry do the same. Maybe it would be a good idea to repeat the info
every semester, I don't know. I think it's more important that we are
mentioned where people might look for such info. We are mentioned in
the section on comics mailing lists in the rec.arts.comics FAQ.
There is no similar section in the rec.arts.disney FAQ though, which I
think is a pity (hi Tom!). I think FAQs work best when they not
only answer the Frequently Asked Questions, but when they also give
pointers to where other information can be found.
Thanks for informing the r.a.d. list of lists people. There's a

now by the way.

Well, I do still read some other comics (I'm just going through

published of anything else. Hmm, I do that with The Complete Crumb
Comics too. But then nothing.

As several people have pointed out there aren't that many rules here.
If it seems that way sometimes (you have to think THIS, know THAT,
like THIS, and dislike THAT), it's only an illusion. This list ought
to be big enough for everyone interested in Disney comics.
As for Don Rosa posters, they don't exist. Simple as that. Write
Gladstone and ask for them, if you want something to happen. (Did the
Barks posters ever sell well? I never bought any.)

Of course he is famous in Disney comics circles in the USA. Don gave
you another impression because he compares the US at large with what
he sees from Europe when he's a guest of honour at a comics convention
or something similar here. Not quite the same thing...
By the way: Shortly before you joined the list Ole (ROC) asked what's
in Aku Ankka nowadays and how he could subscribe to it. Maybe you

Correct. Direct Market means comic book stores, that is, stores which
cannot return the unsold comic books.
Gladstone has a unique market. The only effect the implosion has on
Gladstone is: comic book stores closing, non-genre-specific
(collects a little of everything) collectors dropping marginal titles to
buy others, and comic book stores playing it safe by only selling popular
titles. However, most comic book stores treat the current Disney titles
as childrens books, and so they given their own space in the store.

Well, Hamilton/Another Rainbow/Gladstone has been advertising on the back
cover of the Comics Buyer's Guide at least since the hardcover Carl Barks
Treasury was issued. This week, they were on the front and back cover
(Hamilton Comics is publishing a graphic novel titled Sir Charles Barkley
and the Referee Murders (1992 U.S. Olympic Basketball player). It is
gimick laden, but in a fun way, and will remain in print until June 1994
(when the basketball season ends).

Without a doubt. Consider that many Disney comic books in the U.S. were
purchased in three-for-a-dollar bags. Disney is highly visable, although
I wonder why the Disney Stores do not sell them.

I agree. Even though Disney does not expose Scrooge like they do the
other Disney characters, Uncle Scrooge is well placed in American Pop
Culture.

Actually, Marvel does experiment every so often. They released a four
issue non-fiction dinosaur series last Spring, plus there was A Soldier's
Story, but yes, most of Marvel's advertising goes toward the superhero
titles. Marvel has tried (Star Comics) to publish comic books for children.

Fethry in the 1960s USA
Message 25 -
1993-10-03 at 19:30:39
Dear Folks,
Now for a little information on Cousin Fethry. I first note
him appearing about 1964 in the U. S., and he's in a lot of Tony
Strobl-drawn stories from the period. Around WDC&S 305 there is a
"Mad Madam Mim" story entitled "Ducky Date," in which Mim, hoping to
get into a nightclub, transforms herself to a voluptuous chanteuse,
and Donald and Fethry vie for her affections (Fethry's role is in that
story not so far removed from Gladstone's).
In all of these stories, Fethry talks in "beatnik" dialogue:
"The trouble with you, Don, is you aren't *cool* enough, man!"
(That's just my own rendition, not a quote from somewhere) I remember
seeing him often enough as a younger child (in the late 1970s) that I
not only recognized him as an ongoing character but, due to his
dialect, grew to resent his presence strongly.
It would be interesting to see the story in WDC&S 509 and see
if Fethry speaks in hipper-than-thou lingo. I certainly hope not.
I think the major reason that Fethry died out here is that he
was linked to a culture -- 1960s hippies -- which went out of style,
and the type of story done for the foreign market -- in which he was
an interesting character, not a stereotype -- was never seen here.
Oh yes, in Germany: Cousin Fethry = Vetter Dussel
Maybe I can offer to dialogue an Italian story with Fethry for
Gladstone to use. I wouldn't use the beatnik speech however.
So someone on the list has WDC&S 509... does anyone you know
have #510? That, Whitman's last issue, contained an Egmont Daniel
Branca story! Which Gladstone later did their own version of and got
chewed out for by some astute readers who saw the earlier version.
"We didn't realize," they said, "that it was one of the TWO Danish
stories Whitman published shortly before giving up on comics..." TWO?
What's the other one? Sounds like it's one Gladstone never used.
That's all, folks.

Grandma Duck's name, also Addresses
Message 27 -

Dear Don (and everyone),
Yesterday you told me that Grandma Duck's name was Elvira, and
I responded that I didn't think it was so. I had my Mom look in WDC&S
122 (in which her feature begins as a part of WDC&S) and her name is
given as Elviry, with a "Y" at the end. Are you taking that as a
nickname for Elvira? Would you say that the villains "Ezry" and
"Sairy" in "Old California" are really Ezra and Sarah?
BTW... does anyone on this list have addresses for the Duck
historians Donald Ault and Mike Barrier? I have a copy of DDOS 348
("The Crocodile Collector") which was Ault's as a kid, he wrote his
name all over the cover with a crayon! And I have WDC&S 126 ("A
Financial Fable") with Barrier's name written on it with pencil! If
these historians' parents sold their kids' comics as junk, maybe the
two would be glad to get them back from me.
(I said "GET" not "BUY").
That's all, folks.

Disney-comics Packet for Gladstone?
Message 28 -
1993-10-03 at 23:58:57
Dear Folks,
I was hoping that I might be able to somehow connect
Gladstone's John Clark and Gary Gabner with our network, thinking that
this would be a fine way for us to give Gladstone ideas, thoughts,
etc. and perhaps suggest projects and stories for printing and
reprinting.
Unfortunately, Gladstone's employees have no access to E-Mail
so I had the idea of putting together an extra-special digest for them
which I'd send by old-fashioned mail, with our comments about their
issues alone included (not our trivia and Duck-History discussions).
I cut-and-pasted many letters from months and months and
months of archives and have the following packet prepared of
condensed, specialized letters in chronological order. I prepared
them on a word-processing file, and if you guys give me the go-ahead,
I'll send 'em as listed to John and Gary at Gladstone.
1. Rich Bellacera: Are Gladstones all going to be reprints?
2. James Williams: Why are Donald and Scrooge more popular
than Mickey, and how can this be changed?
3. Rich Bellacera: More outlets for Mickey needed in comics.
4. Torsten Adair: Reply to #2.
5. Harry Fluks: Gladstone's schedule, relationship between
comics and TV, and reply to #2 (part only).
6. Darin Reid: Why bi-monthly schedule?
7. Frederik Ekman: Gottfredson given inadequate exposure,
hence MM's unpopularity.
8. Per Starback: Discussion of Paul Murry (critical).
9. Andrew Krieg: Saying that he won't want to buy re-reprints
of what's been in Gladstone's earlier run, Barks-wise.
10. David Gerstein: My elaboration on #7.
11. Wilmer Rivers: Response to #7.
12. David Gerstein: My response to #8.
13. Andrew Krieg: Request for the Barks "ice taxi" story.
14. Harry Fluks: Mild criticism for long Goofy "historical"
stories, quoting some of Per's opinions, related to D&M #20.
15. Harry Fluks: Discussion of Mickey and Scrooge together,
criticizing Murry Ducks, related to USA #22.
16. Chris Lawton: Praise for new Gladstones, but mixed
reaction to D&M #19.
17. Per Starback: Questioning re-reprints.
18. Harry Fluks: Continuing discussion begun in #17.
19. Per Starback: Barks stories in albums vs. comics.
20. Torsten Adair: Pepping up Gladstone's distribution;
suggestions.
21. Frederick Ekman: Praise for long Goofy "historical"
stories, and suggestion of long Mickey/Scrooge Italian story.
22. Per Starback: Tony Strobl's death, and his "eclipse"
since Whitman's closure, as discussed in the Comics List Weekly.
23. Mark Semich: Discussing upcoming D&M #22; criticism for
Mickey and the Sleuth.
I took the liberty of cutting some letters slightly, or just
including the part relating to something Gladstone was doing. I tried
not to let my own opinions interfere -- note the letters of praise for
the Diaz Goofy stories and for Tony Strobl's work, neither of which
reflects my own opinion.
I didn't include any full letters from Don Rosa, and only two
brief quotes from him in other people's letters. This was largely,
because I suspected his editorial opinions which he gave us here on
a lot of moves by Disney and/or Gladstone weren't things he
necessarily wanted Gladstone to know he told us. He also gave a lot of
pre-publication info, and I didn't know if he wants Gladstone to know
he told us these things (is there some rule that before it's
solicited, it's not to be told publicly?). I wanted to maintain his
own privacy (not to mention everyone's, but here was an important
case).
If I get the go-ahead, I'll go ahead and print this thing out
-- the "Gladstone-related digest" -- and we can give Gladstone our
collective voice. If people want to write letters especially for me
to send to Gladstone, now's the time to do it, since I can add them to
this special dossier.
Good night, folks. Remember, I won't mail a thing unless you
guys agree that this is a good idea!!!!!
Sincerely,
David Gerstein
P. S. Per, can you please go back to sending me the digests?
The individual letters are, now that I'm mired in them again, a lot of
more confusion to deal with. So I'll live with the digests, big as
they are.

Disney-comics Packet for Gladstone?
Message 29 -

Sure. Include my remarks.
First, have them tell their readers about this group. Per could probably
write a decent introduction.
Second, send them the digests, perhaps once a month, and only excise
anything pertaining to Don Rosa's remarks. They might not read
everything, but they might reply to it in the letter columns.
Now, some questions:
1) Does Gladstone intend to publish the current CB WDC&S series in
hardcover (perhaps three-four paperbacks in one hardcover?).
2) Does Gladstone intend to offer a generic Disney slipcase for the
various graphic novels Gladstone and Disney have produced? How about a
slipcase for the comic books? (DC has done this for its comic book sized
paperbacks (Sandman and Lobo), they were designed for the paperbacks, but
they also hold the comic books. I have purchased an empty Sandman
slipcase for my comic books.
3) Why has Gladstone reprinted stories which recently were reprinted
in Disney Comics? Gladstone's secret I have seen twice in the last year
(Gladstone reprinted it in their first month), and there was another one in
the past month or so.
4) Why aren't Disney comics being sold in the Disney Stores?
Why aren't Gladstone's graphic novels being sold in the Disney Stores?
And what is Marvel doing with the newsstand sales? Anything out of the
ordinary? How about a Disney comics magazine, which would be placed and
sold in newsstands, instead of spinner racks?
5) Many publishers (WARP Graphics and Dark Horse) have discovered that a
laminated hardcover (similar to those on children's books) costs only $5
more than a glued paperback. Has Gladstone considered this? Would it be
cheaper to publish one laminated hardcover containing three issues of CBL
WDC&S instead of publishing three separate paperbacks?
6) Hamilton Comics is including stickers and two flip books (printed
in the corners like Big Little Books) in the upcoming Charles Barkley
graphic novel. Does Gladstone have any plans for inserts? Perhaps a
fold-out poster of the Duck Family Tree? How about an atlas of the
travels of Uncle Scrooge? Or fold-out posters of Don Rosa and Carl
Barks covers! (Only in Uncle Scrooge, and maybe in WDC&S.)
7) Does Gladstone plan to collect the Life of Scrooge after it has
appeared in the comic books, and in which manner?
8) Has Gladstone tried to market itself to the Disneyana collectors?
9) Any plans to tap comic book creators outside of Disney comics?
Peter David has written Disney Comics in the past, and I'm certain that
Neil Gaiman would do an excellent job with Uncle Scrooge! Are there
artists who could master the Barksian model?
10) Any chance of Don Rosa and William Van Horn getting complimentary
copies of their work? [You might wish to excise this one David]

As I'm one of those you're quoting in that thing: yes, sure, go ahead
and do whatever you want with my messages. (I don't remember what
I've said. It seems like I've said something nice about Strobl and
something not so nice about Murry. I guess I'll have to stand by
whatever I said, though.)
If you're seeking permission from all those you listed I'd better
inform you that Rich Bellacera has left the list as he lost access to
email. All the others are still here, though.

I read their books so late (just read US 281, WDC 586, DDA 21, and
DD 280) so I don't think I have much input that still would be
interesting to them.
This project of yours reminded me of your fieldwork work in
anthropology you asked about. Sure, I wouldn't mind (and I'd be
interested in your results). If you want questionaires distributed to
more Swedish duck fans I could help you with that too. (Maybe at
NAFS(k)'s fall meeting November 27 if that's not too late.)
