>Anyone that knows for sure that Bo Madinek relly exist?

I can just quote what Alberto Becattini says in his ("red") book <Disney
Comics>.
Page 125: There was a Swedish artist who worked between the late Seventies
and the early Eighties for Egmont. His name is referred to as Bo Madinek (or
Michanek), but his stories are just the same ones there are credited to a
guy named Bolster. As an example of his art you can see D 6360 (German
title: Buerger der Woche; Swedish title: Veckans man; Danish title: Anden i
centrum; Italian title: Paperino e il cittadino della settimana, on
"Paperino" #100, 1983).
I have given a look at this story and the art **seems** familiar to me. I
however would not swear that the artist is the same as the author of

Reviewed for your amazement:

Donald Duck and Uncle $crooge: The Bests and Firsts

I'm really impressed by this one. I hadn't planned on getting this book, but
when I looked at it on the racks at the local comics shop, I had to have it.
(Where I'll find the money to pay for the Lo$ hardcover now I don't know, but
this was worth it.) It's printed on nice heavy white paper with crisp colors.
It has a wonderful mix of great stories, most of which I've never read before,
and most of which formed the basis for DuckTales second season. It's funny to
see the pre-computer separations coloring, which look almost primitive compared
to Susan Daigle-Leach's fine craftsmanship of today. At the time, it was
top-notch stuff, but today it looks awkward. Strange.

So, yes, if you see it, pick it up. It's a good read.

We've had some recent discussions regarding the lack of attention to
scientific detail in some of Barks' space adventures. While I also
prefer accuracy whenever possible, it is important to note first that
Mr. Barks was constrained in time and space (no pun intended) to tell
his stories, and thus was compelled to take poetic license on occasion.
Second, a large segment of his readership was children, a group much
less prone to technical nit-picking than the segment composed of
physicists and astronomers. Third, his primary goal is to entertain, so
some suspension of disbelief is allowed. Fourth, consider that all his
stories were conceived and written before 1967, some before Sputnik went
up in 1957! Our understanding of the universe and space travel was
considerably less than it is today. For example, in the early "60's some
believed that the moon was covered with a thick layer of powder.
Which isn't to say that it isn't fun to point out the flaws and argue
about the feasibility of some of Barks' yarns. And let us not forget
that we assume these tales occur in the context of our universe, and our
understanding of the laws of physics may blind us to possible
explanations that will be obvious a hundred years from now.

Greetings! As many an entry has stated: it's time to stop lurking and
start participating.

This actually shouldn't be too difficult for this born introvert as I've
known some list participants as friends or acquaintances for years and
others I've already contacted by e-mail since receiving this list
beginning in July! I certainly hope to get to know everyone in this
friendly list sooner or later. So now, for those who don't know me
already:

Name: Chuck Munson

Age: 35

Home: Springfield, Virginia, USA

Occupation: Architect at a firm in the historic (for us in the US
anyway) city of Alexandria, Virginia; just across the Potomac River from
Washington, D.C.

Part-Time Occupation: Cast Member at one of our local Disney Stores
(yes
folks, you have a list member who actually works directly for the Mouse)

Disney Interests: The comics for the last 30 years. I'm NOT one
of
these types who collected when young, lost interest when puberty hit,
and then rediscovered it in the last few years. I collected through
high school and college and just kept really quiet about it! (In an
aside to one of the current list questions - so much for the popularity
of Disney comics in their home country, but this painful fact is I'm
sure known to most everyone on the list). I suppose I should add the
description that's been tossed around on this list of "xeno-donaldist"
as I've been collecting, in addition to the US Disney comics, ANY
foreign ones since my family lived in Germany in the late '60's. (Hey,
Frank Fabian! The Stuttgart area was and remains our German home away
from home!). Since then I've been buying them when abroad or could find
them here, trading for them when possible, or bribing friends/relatives
traveling abroad to get some for me! I've also been a member of the
German DONALD group for about 10 years, although I've only been able to
go to one of their "Kongresse" (1988) and my conversational German tends
to suffer the ultimate overload whenever Der Donaldist arrives in the
mail. As some of you might guess from my part-time occupation, my
interest in Disney reaches beyond the comics to those off-topic areas of
animation, theme parks, corporate history, etc.

Best Feature of Disney (Comics especially) Interest: The ability to
meet some incredibly friendly and interesting people. That sounds
awfully saccharine, but I've found it to be true 95% of the time and the
other 5% can generally be attributed to differences in personality
types!

Other interests: Architecture (naturally!), stamps and coins,
history
and geography, some science fiction (mainly of the television Dr. Who,
Star Trek, Babylon 5 variety), and a few different sports to keep the
waistline in check.

Once again, greetings!

I was born and raised on Sci-Fi (novels... Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov,
Herbert) and was a big fan of the first Star Trek series (which I watched
as NEW episodes!) and of some of the Star Trek movies (II, III, IV, VI and
the newest one), and of course the Star Wars films, but I'll have to admit
that my SF appreciation doesn't include much of the last 10-15 years of TV,
or books. And there are just too many Star Trek series now to even think
of catching up. Nor do I find I want to. The same holds with Babylon 5,
the X-files, and others. I have better, or more pressing, things to do
now. And for fun, I would rather watch a decent movie.
