MAPS and SiGNS
Well, German "Micky Maus" 37/96 came out today and it features the
already mentioned Duckburgh-map. It's not _very_ good IMHO but it's
nicely done and VERY big: ca. 60x85 cm (whatever that is in inches
and square-foot or whatever you use over there... =;^)
Together with two new cards for the "Entenhausen A-Z" ring-map
(Minnie and Phnatom-Blot, whose star sign is said to be unknown but
"experts" think it might be Scorpio) and 40+ pages of comics it's not a
bad deal for less then $ 2,50...
JOACHIM (RE: Don in Spirit-Jam-Story)
You are right! There he is. But you failed to mention that he was
taken in by a duck-detective! Also, his appearance is not all that
surprising: he inked part of the page (panel 1 to be exact).
The text for this page was done by Roger Stern, the upper half was
pencilled by Jim Engel, the lower half by Chuck Fiala, Don inked one
panel, Jim inked panel 2-3, Chuck seems to have inked his half and
Mike Tiefenbacher filled in a "Boris Bodanov" Poster - making it a
total of FIVE contributors to ONE page.
Care to explain how this particular jam came to be, Don?
RE: "Und morgen die ganze Welt!"
The Beagle-Boys' shirts are brown? The German coloring had them
consistently in RED shirts. Only recently (Rosa) they wear a strange
shade of orange...
REPEAT QUESTION
Still no answer as to if I should index my single foreign DCs.
Bye for now!

Mickey story from Denmark in Le Journal de Mickey

I have just discovered in the latest issue of Le Journal de Mickey the first
beautiful non-French, non-Claude Marin, Mickey story in years.
It was done for Denmark. Its code is D95028. It's called La Caverne Magique (The
Magic Cave) and features a beautiful looking Mickey with red pants and yellow
buttons.
Does anyone knows more about this story ? Who wrote it, who drew it ?

The Secret of the Xiaogan Stone
Message 155 -

Following Arthur de Wolf's suggestion, I rushed out and bought "Comix", one of
the Greek Disney comics. The lead story in issue 99 is "The Secret of the
Xiaogan Stone" by Dave Angus, drawn by Santanach, which had been published in
Uncle $crooge 271 as "The Secret of the Stone".
Comparing the two editions I have found several differences (apart from the
dialogue being all greek to almost everybody):
* In the greek edition, the world balloons are larger.
* Many panels in the greek edition are flipped mirror images of the same
panels in the US edition.
* At least three different panels have different background art:
+ Page 3, panel 6: the background is totally different. In the US edition
the background is very similar to that in the next panel.
+ Page 16, panel 7: in the greek edition there are two natives in the
background, one of whom is commenting on what's happening. They do not
appear in the US edition.
+ Page 21, panel 3: there is an extra tree in the background.
Does anyone know why these differences exist?
BTW, all the natives in this story are little short people that look the
same! Since this story has been published by Disney themselves, could this
be used as an argument in favor of publishing Don Rosa's pygmy indian story?

As you know the code it's easy to find it on the Disney comics pages on
the Web. Start at <http://www.update.uu.se/~starback/disney-comics/>,
choose the Database link and write in the code.
Then you'll get to know that it was written by Byron Erickson and
drawn by Caesar Ferioli.

Some of the copies were sold to dealers. Bear Mountain Enterprises will
get 130 copies, and sell them for $170 postpaid (USA). Bud Plant will
also get copies, and sell them for $250. *ouch* (The original price is
$150.)
Also, there's supposed to be another edition (w/o Carl Barks signature).

In Digest 197, Don Rosa mentioned the confusion of why Scrooge's #1 Dime is
important to Scrooge and Magica, and one mistaken concept is that it is
"lucky." When did that start? The earliest refernce I have found to a
"lucky" #1 is in the story "One Rich Duck" (DD 146) drawn by Kay Wright and
printed in 1972.

Personally, I don't see the use of indexing only a few comics of a country.
But I once stated to include in the database any index that was sent to
me. And I will. That's why we have a Colombian index in the database now.
So it's up to you (or others) to decide...

Will I ever appear in the midwest? I thought I've been appearing there for
45 years! I live in Louisville, y'know, which is considered the "midwest" by
some. (If Indiana is in the midwest, then Louisville must also be.) Be more
specific -- WHERE in the midwest do you want me? If I'm not there, mention
me to whoever puts on funnybook shows in your area -- I am philosophically
unable to turn down any invitations.
HARALD:
How did the "SPIRIT jam" work? I think various professional and fan artists
who were known to love Will Eisner's work were invited to contribute to the
"jam", a "jam" being a work done by a volunteer group of interested parties,
like a musical jam-session. I only inked the one panel since I was invited
during a Chicago Comicon weekend in whatever year that might have been. When
was it, anyway? Around 1980?
KRITON:
(Cool name.) Why was the Gladstone version of a story different? (And my
guess is that the Gladstone is the variant version.) That's because, of ALL
the Disney publishers in the world, ONLY GLADSTONE must pass everything
through Disney scrutiny before it's published. This is what I referred to in
the previous Digest as the forces lined up to discourage Gladstone... the
one Disney publisher in the world who has the most disinterested public, the
one public MOST influenced to avoid Disney comics like the plague, and they
are the one publisher who has the most red tape to deal with in trying to
produce their comics! That's why I help them whenever I can, as should we
all, always cutting them some slack! I would guess that Disney ordered those
changes... but perhaps Gary will have a more definite answer.
The same thing explains why they can publish a story where all the Indians
look alike, while Disney won't allow Gladstone to use my Pygmy Indian sequel
-- Disney does not excercise that sort of control over what KOMIX prints.
What KOMIX prints cannot be used as an "arguement" to lift the burden of
political-correctitude off Gladstone.
GEORGE:
Gladstone intends to reprint my 3-part stories as 1-part stories next year,
with the alternate art, in another mini-set of UNCLE $CROOGE ADVENTURES

EVERYTHING remains to be seen, including whether they can manage to get
their license renewed, along with all the other problems they have in the
American market. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

During that short time I need more than a bit of luck to locate the earlier
