Hello! I am still here, but with a lot of troubles in my family, so
I am actually only lurking... (My mother-in-law was submited to coronary
artery surgery with lots of complications!). As soon as possible, I will
send data for Arthur Homepage and get contact with Hugo - from Argentina -
to help us with DC published there. It is more easy speak Spanish than
English to me. So, guys, take it easy, but be sure that soon or late I will
send news from here... before Xmas!
DON:
I can send you DC from Brazil with your stories. The problem is that
they don't give credits to the artists, they only print the code. But, if
you want, I can send at each DC published the codes from the stories and you
chose the comics. Anyone who want Brazilian DC,just e-mail me!

While you're trying to find a "Guardians" poster for Michael, see if you can
find ME one, too. That's a souvenir I failed to get in Finland.
ALL:
I haven't been asked about this, but it occurs to me that my fellow
"computer geeks" out there might find this interesting. It was a major
development for me recently when Byron Erickson finally got on-line so that
I could communicate with him over the Internet. It's not that I didn't send
him a FAX whenever I needed to, but Internet communication seems much
easier, is free and is also safer and more private than office FAXes. But as
of these last few weeks, I have, for the first time, sent Byron my latest
script (for the 50th Anniversary Uncle $crooge editions) in story-board form
completely over the Internet. (The truth is that it was done by my local
computer-guru, Dan Shane.) FAXing something like that would cost me about
$30 and deliver bad copies... FEDEXing scripts cost even more and took 2-3
days to get there... now the transmission of copies of these hand-made
simulated comic-book pages is perfect, instantaneous and free! Another giant
step in computer-comic history for me! Byron will also send me his finished
transcriptions of my scripts by Internet, so that I can glance at them to
see if there are any misunderstandings of my intents or something. And this
is all happening right along the corners of this Mailing List... it may be
out of your sight, but the Internet is now a VERY integral part of
everything Byron and I do now.
(But NO, I don't plan to ever DRAW on a computer! That would be like
substituting a nutrient pill for a rib-eye steak. Ecch.)
And by the way, Byron seemed to be pleased with this 50th Anniversary story.
It's 28 pages and is titled "A Little Something SPECIAL". I started drawing
it today. And that's all I'll say about it until you see it next summer.

HARALD:
I don't care to hear about astrology mixed in with Disney character
descriptions. TV GUIDE here in America lost all its credibility when it
introduced an astrology forecast column. Too many people put stock in this
pseudo-science, and any treatment of it as remotely valuable or real makes
the situation worse. Its roots are in divination and false religion,
neither of which belong in a discussion of family comics, in my opinion.
I'm not a "born-again" fundamentalist Christian, and I don't have any
problem reading about Magica's pranks and potions -- they're strictly
make-believe. But, any mini-treatises on the influence of heavenly bodies
on the characters in general don't seem to add any value to a study of
their personalities.

Just read the recent review of Chinese comicbooks, and was reminded of an
excellent series being published here in the U.S. by Bantam Doubleday Dell,
under their Anchor imprint. They are titled ______ Speaks_, (Zen Speaks,
Sun Tzu Speaks) and are comicstrip adaptations of Asian philosophy. The
latest, _Confucious Speaks_, was just released last month, and like the
previous volumes, contains the chinese text in the margins, explanatory
essays, and a dictionary in the back. Highly recommended.

As I've mentioned before, I have a subscription to
Anders And, the weekly Danish Donald Duck comic
book. The latest issue I've received is 41/96
(10 Oktober), and what intrigued me most about
it was the back cover ad for next week's issue.
They're printing "The Last Voyage of Ringtail
van Dukke," a Dutch-produced story I translated
and scripted for Gladstone a while back. Judging
from the ad, the next issue will be a double issue
with "Ringtail" appearing separately in a special
supplement, using the Daan Jippes cover that ran
on the Gladstone version. The Dutch title was
slightly different, as I recall -- something on
the order of "The Lost Treasure of..." but somebody
in Prescott apparently thought there had been a few too
many lost treasures lately and changed it to "The Last
Voyage of..." The Danish title is also "Last Voyage"
("Sidste Rejse" if you want to get specific), making
me wonder if my English version was translated into
Danish rather than going back to the Dutch original.
The risk of translating a translation is
getting that much further away from the original--

I agree that astrology is utter nonsense -- hokum -- horsefeathers
-- banana oil -- buncombe -- bunk -- lies -- superstition -- etc.
but what's the problem with including it in a discussion of family
comics? The problem with astrology is that it's not real as a
description of how the universe operates, but it was a part of
human history for an awfully long time, and it persists today,
at its best, as a charming bit of antique folklore that has
enriched the culture with its symbols and such. I'm at a loss
to understand why you think it's going to corrupt families if
it's used in comics or discussed here on the ML.

As I may have mentioned, I translated the "Money Ocean" story
for Disney Comics a few years ago, and waited eagerly to see
the response in the subsequent letter columns. Unfortunately,
the only letter to be published was one from a fundamentalist
complaining about witches in the story -- Magica, to be precise.
The reader seemed to think that even using witches as fantasy
characters in children's entertainment would set kids down the
path to Satanism or some such.

Well, true. In Japan, there's a whole pseudo-science based on
the idea that people with different blood types have different
personalities, and fictional character descriptions always
include their blood types. To me, since I don't know how the
system works, this is a thorough waste, but obviously it's
significant to somebody. Same with astrology here, I suppose.
But again, I can't see where the "family" in the term "family
comics" enters into astrology being a problem.

Well, I just purchased the limited edition hardcover of Astro City for $50 (a
steal, and also highly recommended!), which had a signature plate. Also, DC
published the Sandman: Seasons of Mist hardcover in a beautiful embossed
leather edition and charged something like $25 - $30. If Gladstone does not
have the expertise, time, or desire, then the folks at Graphitti Design could
do it, as they have for numerous other publishers.
Given the professional response to the series (Eisner awards are voted by
professionals), as well as fan response, plus the Disneyana collectors, there
should be enough demand for this item.
I've been to Kansas, lived 23 years in Nebraska and Iowa, and frankly, I

Today, I attended a special meeting of the Friends of Lulu New York chapter.
This meeting was a brainstorming session on how to help publishers produce
comics which are more interesting to women (and appeal to men as well).
During the lunch break, I spoke with an assistant editor, and he said that
Acclaim Comics (formerly Valiant Comics) was going to produce digest sized
comicbooks of licensed properties. Apparently, Acclaim has acquired the
modern Disney license (tv, movie characters), and will be printing
(reprinting?) stories from Europe.
This is all rumor, though it came from a reliable source. Considering that
Marvel has killed their licensed properties division (Barbie, Ren and Stimpy,
Disney), and that Acclaim is signing major talent to its books, it seems
believable to me. However, Marvel did publish the Hunchback adaptation, so
it remains to be seen.
Also, it seems that these titles will be distributed to newstands as well,
which will be a welcome change.
If anyone has any genres or types of stories they would like to see published
as comics, let me know, and I'll forward the ideas to Rachel Pollack for
inclusion in the handbook.

and the set sells for $1000. Since I do not know what they are worth, it seems

Lemming with the locket
Message 150 -

Some four days in advance to the schedule, issue #85 of "Zio Paperone" is on
sale today. It carries the reprint of "Lemming with the locket" by Barks, a
short GG Milton-Jeepes story and a long story by Marco Rota, " In den
Faengen der Wikinger", as yet unpublished in Italy. No Rosa story this month
:-( but next month we are expecting "Treasury of Croesus"...
Lemming with the locket.
Are you surprised that I am questioning the translation?
In fact, the final gag had been changed from the first Italian editions
(around 1955) to issue #4 of the same "Zio Paperone"; now the original 1955
translation has been restored. In this first-and-last translation (the
middle one just didn't make sense) HDL refer to the name of the cheese U$
has given them (as a reward for finding the lemming) as "golden wheel". So I
have two questions:
(1) for those who have the original version: was it like this?
(2) for our friends up there in Northern Europe: does there exist really
such a cheese? (When I buy cheese, I am often offered a "Leerdammer" which I
suppose comes from Denmark (but I am not sure) and I always think of it as a
"Golden Wheel" because of its colour...).
Now the Rota story.
This is most probably

too dumb to find it ;-)) but if I should make a bet it would be this one.
I wonder whether we ever shall be able to see the sequel, since "Zio
Paperone" has never published a Vicar story as yet.

short GG Milton-Jeepes story and a long story by Marco Rota, " In den
Faengen der Wikinger", as yet unpublished in Italy. No Rosa story this month
:-( but next month we are expecting "Treasury of Croesus"...
Lemming with the locket.
Are you surprised that I am questioning the translation?
In fact, the final gag had been changed from the first Italian editions
(around 1955) to issue #4 of the same "Zio Paperone"; now the original 1955
translation has been restored. In this first-and-last translation (the
middle one just didn't make sense) HDL refer to the name of the cheese U$
has given them (as a reward for finding the lemming) as "golden wheel". So I
have two questions:
(1) for those who have the original version: was it like this?
(2) for our friends up there in Northern Europe: does there exist really
such a cheese? (When I buy cheese, I am often offered a "Leerdammer" which I
suppose comes from Denmark (but I am not sure) and I always think of it as a
"Golden Wheel" because of its colour...).
Now the Rota story.
This is most probably
