In this case you do not have to be sorry, because a lot of people,
including myself, agree with you 100%. Gladstone's re-re-re-reprinting of
Barks is annoying.
We buy the libraries, we buy the bi-monthly's (and the monthly) and end up
getting the same stories for the third or fourth time... It would be much
easier if Gladstone would launch a new book with nothing but Barks
reprints. Those who wanted to could dodge the book and go for the new brand
new (Egmont/Dutch/Italian) material in the other books. And Gladstone could
easily determine how much effect the name "Barks" had on sales.

Bohimaton: An answer
Message 107 -
1997-03-21 at 11:43:01
KRITON:
You ask whether the word "bohimaton" Barks uses in one of his very early
ten-pagers ("The Mighty Trapper", WDC&S #36, 1943) is a "real" or made-up
word. Now, I have to admit that I only had a single course in English lit
when in college, and hence my credentials are rather dismal, but I was able
to dig up a Barks answer in one of his interviews he gave to Geoff Blum,
part of which was published in the "Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's C &
S in Color" #2. Here's the relevant excerpt:
<<BLUM: And your language is imaginative, more so than one normally finds in
comics. I'm thinking of that scene in "The Mighty Trapper"...where the
nephews are bragging that they'll catch a wolf as big as a *bohimaton*. Four
years ago, when I was writing a script for the Gladstone comics, I tried to
make an in-joke around that word; but an editor at Disney saw it and said,
"This isn't a real word; you can't use it."
BARKS: The only person I ever heard use the word was my first father-in-law.
He was an Englishman, and when he was talking to kids, he would tell them
scary stories about these big bohimatons that'd come down the stairs in the
dark. And I think I *did* find it in a dictionary one time.>>
Now back to my words; after I read that passage I scrambled to my voluminous
dictionary, but alas, I couldn't find the word. Barks had the same luck when
later in the same interview pauses for a minute to search for the word, but
doesn't find it.
Now, I'll take off my English Professor's hat, and put back on my
economist's hat.
Cheers,
Archontis

It's not to be found in the OED at least, and not in a bunch of other
dictionaries I've searched, including several dialectology books.
Maybe it was just a word peculiar to this logger or father-in-law or
whatever he was. It's not that uncommon with words that are only used
in a family or a small circle of friends.
Maybe the origin is "behemoth" ("something of monstrous size or
power") from Job 40:15-24? That's the closest I can find with a
related meaning.

Maybe you don't care too much, but as our source material didn't have
creator credits, *we* cared enough to check with Egmont. Unfortunately, it
was an old story; their records simply stated that it was created by the
Gutenberghus Group (and no one there could peg the artist by looking at the
art, either). And our own best guess came a cropper, apparently.
>And what's wrong with using a real cover for a cover?
I ask myself that question time and time again. The essential reason is
that the artist of the cover of the first issue of Penny Pincher had to be
Carl Barks, the creator of Neighbor Jones. Too bad Carl never did a Jones
cover, because cobbling one up proved to be a real headache!

I would like to turn this response over to Gary Gabner, who has rather more
of an interest in this than I (Gary Leach) do:
Greetings, Mr. Gerstein: It is interesting that Andold has gained this
toehold on the Web, particularly since, when I cooked up all that stuff, it
was just to get another darn Egmont story bashed into shape for the
American comic book market. Still, Marco Rota's material offered a chance
to have some fun with a period setting, which is what I went for.
>Should we title this character page "Andold Wild Duck" rather than
>"Andold Temerary"? While Temerary is the character's real last name, he's
>billed as Andold Wild Duck at the start of each story.
My vote would be for "Andold Wild Duck." That's his "historic" nickname,
along the lines of Ivan the Terrible, Alexander the Great, Black Pete,
Norman Conquest (uh, never mind about that one!). It's the name by which he
would be generally known, and the one most people would try to reference if
they were interested in digging up info on the guy. If he'd actually
existed, that is, like Ivan, Alex, Black, Norman (drat!).

In my hebrew dictionary behemot (pl. of behema) may mean:
a) Animals in general
b) Wild animals
c) Cattle
there is also a word spelled the same way (the one used in Job 40:15) which
may mean hippo or crocodile

Direct from http://www.mania.com , here is the list of releases from
Gladstone Comics for the month of June 1997.
-Augie
Donald Duck #304
Contains "Donald Duck Rants About Ants," a Carl Barks' ten pager
from WDC&S #170, in which Donald meets his match when a colony of
ax-toothed ants gets loose in his house. Vintage newspaper strips by Al
Taliaferro, a European story, and a new cover by Pat Clock [I assume they
mean "block" here. -- Augie] round out the issue. Contains 32 Pages with slick
covers.
Don Rosa 1997 Special #3
[YAY! -Augie]
The third of a four-issue miniseries within the Uncle Scrooge albums,
reprints more of Rosa's original Scrooge material from the first run of
Gladstone Comics. Issue 3 features "Return to Plain Awful" from
Donald Duck Adventures 12 (1989), Rosa's "sequel" to Carl Barks'
famous "square eggs" story, "Lost in the Andes." It takes Scrooge and the
boys - along with Flintheart Glomgold - to the mythical city of Plain Awful in a
struggle to exploit (or not exploit) its naive citizenry. Also in this issue is
Rosa's 12-page story from Uncle Scrooge Adventures 9 (1988), "Fortune on the
Rocks," in which Scrooge purchases an entire mountain and then tries to make it
turn a profit. Contains 40 Pages in Full Color.
Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color #25
This month's addition to Gladstone's regular series Scrooge Albums,
Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color 25, features Carl Barks' "The
Flying Dutchman" from Uncle Scrooge 25 (1958). One of Barks' most
celebrated stories, it takes Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews on a
seagoing adventure to track down the legendary ghost ship and salvage its
cargo. Barks' masterful debunking of the Dutchman folk tale is one that,
once read, it never forgotten. Barks' six-page Scrooge mini adventure in
which the Ducks track down the buried treasure of Egyptian King Nutmost
the First, backs up the album. Contains 32 Pages with Full Color.
Uncle Scrooge Adventures #50
Features "The Secret of Atlantis." This Carl Barks' masterpiece - which
has not been reprinted in a regular comic book for quite some time - is one of
the Duck Man's most fondly remembered classics. A new cover by William Van Horn
completes the package. Contains 32 Pages plus slick covers.
Walt Disney's ["Comics & Stories," I assume. -- Augie] #615
Cover by Don Rosa
Featured in this issue are:
Backyard Battlers - A 10 pager by Fred Milton pitting Donald against
his enemy of long standing. Neighbor Jones!
Attack of the Hideous Space Varmints - The second installment of Don
Rosa's outer space epic. Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews continue their
adventures on the final frontier with a pair of off the wall cosmic travelers.
The Robin Hood Adventures - The final installment of Floyd Gottfredson's classic
Sunday strip fairy tale in which Mickey meets the legendary Merry Men. The Fox
and the Hound - The first chapter of this original Sunday strip adaptation of
this classic Disney animated cartoon, written by Jeanette Steiner and drawn by
the incomparable Sparky Moore. The above, combined with vintage Bucky Bug by Al
Taliaferro, Mickey and Goofy by Dick Moores, and a European Li'l Bad Wolf story,
also with other features, bring you yet another 64-page spectacular with the
high quality paper, printing and color you've come to expect from Gladstone and
from WDC&S.
Walt Disney's Comics and Stories Penny Pincher #5
Continues the title's latest theme of representing vintage Daan Jippes/Fred
Milton Donald stories from the early years of Gladstone. This issue features "A
Clean Case of Competence" from WDC&S 515, in which Donald sets up a business as
a "master cleaner." Also in this issue are reprints of early William Van Horn
shorts, "Tents Anyone," "Poisoned Palate," "Large Deduction," and "His Money's
Worth." Jippes' cover to WDC&S 513 wraps the book. Contains 16 Pages with slick
covers.

Hi gang!
The following, according to Smash Magazine at www.mania.com, are
Gladstone's comics releases for June. WDC&S looks particularly enjoyable,
with more Al Taliaferro Bucky Bug Sunday strips and a Fred Milton story new
to us Americans. Harry -- would you guess this story is H84051 or H84055?
Does one seem more likely to you than the other?
I'm hoping the European Li'l Bad Wolf story is the Dutch
egg-switching one I rewrote for them last summer, although I don't actually
know.
Here's the listing, with mania.com's typos intact. Pat **Clock**?

*****************************************
The following, according to Smash Magazine at www.mania.com, are
Gladstone's comics releases for June. WDC&S looks particularly enjoyable,
with more Al Taliaferro Bucky Bug Sunday strips and a Fred Milton story new
to us Americans. Harry -- would you guess this story is H84051 or H84055?
Does one seem more likely to you than the other?
I'm hoping the European Li'l Bad Wolf story is the Dutch
egg-switching one I rewrote for them last summer, although I don't actually
know.
Here's the listing, with mania.com's typos intact. Pat **Clock**?
* * * * *
Donald Duck #304
Contains "Donald Duck Rants About Ants," a Carl Barks' ten
pager from WDC&S #170, in which Donald meets his match when a
colony of ax-toothed ants gets loose in his house. Vintage newspaper strips
by Al Taliaferro, a European story, and a new cover by Pat Clock
round out the issue. Contains 32 Pages with slick covers.
Don Rosa 1997 Special #3
The third of a four-issue miniseries within the Uncle Scrooge albums,
reprints more of Rosa's original Scrooge material from the first run of
Gladstone Comics. Issue 3 features "Return to Plain Awful" from
Donald Duck Adventures 12 (1989), Rosa's "sequel" to Carl
Barks' famous "square eggs" story, "Lost in the Andes." It takes
Scrooge and the boys - along with Flintheart Glomgold - to the
mythical city of Plain Awful in a struggle to exploit (or not exploit) its
naive citizenry. Also in this issue is Rosa's 12-page story from Uncle
Scrooge Adventures 9 (1988), "Fortune on the Rocks," in which
Scrooge purchases an entire mountain and then tries to make it turn a
profit. Contains 40 Pages in Full Color.
Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color #25
This month's addition to Gladstone's regular series Scrooge Albums,
Uncle Scrooge Adventures in Color 25, features Carl Barks'
"The Flying Dutchman" from Uncle Scrooge 25 (1958). One of Barks'
most celebrated stories, it takes Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews on a
seagoing adventure to track down the legendary ghost ship and salvage its
cargo. Barks' masterful debunking of the Dutchman folk tale is one that,
once read, it never forgotten. Barks' six-page Scrooge mini adventure in
which the Ducks track down the buried treasure of Egyptian King
Nutmost the First, backs up the album. Contains 32 Pages with Full
Color.
Uncle Scrooge Adventures #50
Features "The Secret of Atlantis." This Carl Barks' masterpiece -
which has not been reprinted in a regular comic book for quite some time -
is one of the Duck Man's most fondly remembered classics. A new cover
by William Van Horn completes the package. Contains 32 Pages plus
slick covers.
Walt Disney's #615
Cover by Don Rosa
Featured in this issue are:
Backyard Battlers - A 10 pager by Fred Milton pitting Donald
against his enemy of long standing. Neighbor Jones!
Attack of the Hideous Space Varmints - The second installment of
Don Rosa's outer space epic. Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews
continue their adventures on the final frontier with a pair of off the wall
cosmic travelers.
The Robin Hood Adventures - The final installment of Floyd
Gottfredson's classic Sunday strip fairy tale in which Mickey meets the
legendary Merry Men.
The Fox and the Hound - The first chapter of this original Sunday strip
adaptation of this classic Disney animated cartoon, written by Jeanette
Steiner and drawn by the incomparable Sparky Moore.
The above, combined with vintage Bucky Bug by Al Taliaferro,
Mickey and Goofy by Dick Moores, and a European Li'l Bad Wolf
story, also with other features, bring you yet another 64-page spectacular
with the high quality paper, printing and color you've come to expect from
Gladstone and from WDC&S.
Walt Disney's Comics and Stories Penny Pincher #5
Continues the title's latest theme of representing vintage Daan
Jippes/Fred Milton Donald stories from the early years of
Gladstone. This issue features "A Clean Case of Competence" from
WDC&S 515, in which Donald sets up a business as a "master cleaner."
Also in this issue are reprints of early William Van Horn shorts,
"Tents Anyone," "Poisoned Palate," "Large Deduction," and
"His Money's Worth." Jippes' cover to WDC&S 513 wraps the book.
Contains 16 Pages with slick covers.

At the moment, there is no "standard" way of coding the stories from AT. So
we simply put the codes as they appeared in the reprint: "I-A 228" in the Dutch
reprint, and "I AT 228A" in the Danish reprint.
I am waiting with standardising these codes, till a complete Italian index of the title
will be available (by Fossati, converted and updated by Stajano and Barlotti).

GCp is indeed an abbreviation that was never officially used in the database.
I think Ole Reichstein Nielsen (the maintainer of all the Danish files) put
it there by mistake (are you reading this, Ole?).

I think you'd better be the *only* one posting the mania.com

duplicating your listing of the issues, unless you're out of town at the
