A follow-up on how to order the Don Rosa book from outside Italy (this is
also a reply to some private enquiries I received recently).
I am amazed (and pleased) that there are people whose dedication to Don's
work is so great that they're willing to mail-order stuff from abroad in a
language they can't read just so that they can have the first Don Rosa
book! Congratulations, and I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. Maybe you can
propose it as the topic for discussion at the next meeting of your local
Friends of Italy society, where someone will translate the best bits for
you :-)
I checked with the publisher and it is ok for them if you want to buy it
direct via mail order. You can contact them via e-mail, phone, fax and
snail mail at the following addresses. The postage and packing charges are
ITL 10000 (for every 3 kg) for Europe and ITL 15000 for the rest of the
world. The book, needless to say, is well below 3 kg: in fact it is
slightly less than 0.5 kg.

If "Barks Treasury" -hurry

Of course I ended up ordering the damn book. I rang John
Nichols at Bear Mountain Enterprises Wednesday and he said
that of 28 copies he had now 6 left (of which I have now
bought one). Disney apparently bought the copies they could
get hold on, so the price when they resell them (!?!) will
be higher than the $390 BME charges. According to Nichols
copies are already being sold at $500. So if any other of
you poor addicted soles out there are thinking about buying
the "Treasury" -well don't think too long...
Finally, I will apologize for the long run of illegible nonsense in
the letter head that fills up the space where my name should have
been. The reason I don't know, but as this address is at my work I'm
not all that busy calling the computer guys complaining my head off
that the mail system is not able to serve my private mail properly.
If any of you have an idea what is wrong, please sent me a message
(private mail). Thanks.

If this is the way you are now, then never become a pro! I love reading
your stories, and really appreciate all the work and thought you put in to
them. Coming from a physics/math/computers background, my attention to
detail is great (and probably to a fault my wife would say). Keep it up!

Two Overstreet Price Guide questions:
I just bought the most recent Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (#27). I was
amazed to find _two_ versions, almost identical inside but with different
covers. What is this?? Is this the first time he/they have done this? Are the
eager collectors supposed to buy _both_? Do the publishers realise that buying
both would actually... bring them more money? I was dismayed rather than
enticed by this. I want a book to be a book, not two books.
Liber liber liber est est.
I have wondered for about three seconds every year, on the occasion of scanning
the season's new Overstreet PG, what the precise reference and content is for
the remark "mentioned in Love and Death", attached to the listing of FC 199,
the "Sheriff of Bullet Valley" Barks oneshot. Does this to refer to a movie by
Woody Allen? Or the sadly unfinished "Liobov' i smert'" znamenitogo avtora
Lva Tolstogo (admittedly unlikely, considering that Tolstoy died in 1910)?
And in what way was FC 199 actually mentioned?

I think the reference is to a book by Gershon Legman published in
the late '40s, kind of a precursor to Dr. Wertham's Seduction of
the Innocent, about violence and nasty stuff in the media. My
memory on the subject is a bit faded but as I recall, comic books
that were mentioned as horrible examples in the various expose
books (Seduction in particular) are indicated in the Price Guide
and are supposedly more coveted by collectors for their notoriety.
I don't know much about the Legman book -- maybe somebody here can
fill in the details.

In the third panel on this page Mickey is writing. Turn the page on its

Norwegian Index & Calisota Handbook
Message 157 -

Thanks to Dwigth D for enlightening me and us about "Love and Death". If anyone
can quote for us the precise words used by Mr. Gershon Legman to describe the
potentially horrible seducing influence FC 199 could have on innocent minds
(young and old), it would be appreciated.
Another comment and question: I am looking through a simple but effective
"Don Rosa Indeks" (norsk/amerikansk), published by Geir Netland (occasional
list contributor) here in Norway and sold for the modest price of NKr 25 (less
than three dollars). One may find it at Jan P Krogh's "Norsk Tegneserieforum",
a combined comic book shop and gallery in Oslo, and perhaps other places as
well? One may find most of the Rosa information on our Internet, but the
convenience of it (as well as a good and timely Rosa cover not used
elsewhere??) make it absolutely worthwhile to publish this separately (and
there are still stone-agers amongst us who do not use Internet or who do not
know about this Splendid List).
Well: in addition to lavishing praise upon Netland and his coworkers, and
hoping that new editions will be issued as time and Don's work progress, here's
the question: What is "The Calisota Handbook on the Works of Barks and Rosa",
mentioned in Netland's index?
Actually, I did manage to find the item by Internet search, learning that this
publication has 36 pages and is available at the Comic Art Reading Room of the
Michigan State University. (I was quite impressed by the description of the
Comic Art Collection there!) But I would like to know more about it, for
example, how can I buy a copy?

Donald falls asleep while waiting for Gyro. A black bottle
accidentally falls down for the shelf creating a nightmare
with pterodactyls, a giant cat, talking dog... Beagle-police

Eventually Gyro wakes him up and tells him the nightmare
was caused by one of his inventions.
The story is OK, but the ending wasn't too surprising.
Could somebody give him a better story to draw???

Hello,
I'm in Australia and, when I was a child I used to have a large collection
of Walt Disney comics. Unfortunately, I was persuaded by my parents to part
with them. Lately, however, I thought it might be possible to obtain,
perhaps from some collectors' establishment, a few of the titles I
particularly liked. I still remember the numbers of most of the ones I
really enjoyed. (They were Australian editions, so I suppose the numbers
won't have much significance outside Australia). They were: G418 (The
Phantom Blot - "The Case of the Disappearing Diamonds"); D144 (Donald Duck,
"The Flying Phone Booth"); G356 (Uncle Scrooge, about a ghost town railway);
G372 ("The Phantom of Notre Dame"); and one, the number of which I don't
remember, about a gold nugget boat. The cover was orange, and had a picture
of Uncle Scrooge with dollar signs in his eyes. I know this story was
reprinted several times, but I'd like to have the edition that I had before.
So: can anyone tell me where I might be able to get these comics from. I'd
pay well, and I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks....
David King.

I've been reading a few Donald stories lately which all seems to have been
done by the same artist. He does all his backgrounds and surroundings in a
very realistic style, (more realistic than is usual in a Disney comic,
anyway) while the Ducks look kind of like Van Horn. The two stories I have
of him aren't coded, so I can't look this up in the database. The only
story he's made that I would suppose most people would have heard of is
called "Mitt liv i et eggeskall" in Norwegian, and is about the birth of
Donald. If anyone know who this guy is: does he also write his own stories ?

Oh -- it's Marco Rota. I know he writes _some_ of his own stories.
I've translated a couple of his scripts for Egmont. He amazes me
because he can have a nine- or ten-panel page heavy with dialogue,
and still compose it to look well-balanced between words and
pictures. Helps to be both writer and artist, I guess.

What a coincidence. I will be in Australia too, from June 4 to 11. In Sidney.
So, here's a question to all AUSTRALIAN LIST MEMBERS:
Is there anything special in Sidney regarding Disney comics? Any shop
I should visit? Addresses are much appreciated!
(Or is it only a coincidence that Sidney is an anagram of Disney? 8-)

I recognise most of the stories you mention, but I have no idea in which
Australian comic they appeared. Did you say you were only interested
in Australian copies? Recent USA reprints of the stories can easily be
obtained.
