JOAKIM & OTHERS:
I just don't like the new Paperinik magazine
which is a little unfortunate because I really like
the Paperinik character - Massimo de Vita's stories
from early 70 are great.
I don't see any similarities between what's in the new
magazine and what has come out before from Disney.
Well, I find a character that might look like Paperinik in it,
but what is all the other stuff?
I honestly thought that we (who love SF) had somehow
moved just slightly away from that nuke-'em-hardcore-SF,
yet, noone has actually been nuked in the Paperinik.

Hi!
GLADSTONE:
I visited my comic-shop again yesterday, after six months, and to
my great disappointment there were no new Disney comics for me. :-(
While the guy there had told me that I would still get them because
they had a different distributor than Diamond. I'm really sad about
this. I mean, I collected all American Disney comics for 10 years,
from Talespin Limited Series to all the WDC&S's, and now it just
stops! :-(
STAR TREK:
I have to say that I also like Star Trek a LOT. I collect all
episodes and I'm a HUGE fan!
Bye,
Arthur

I actually wrote that it was still a lot more than in the US, but quite
moderate compared with Scandinavia, where the numbers are of course lower,
but the population is lower as well, so the ratio of Disney comics per
population is higher than in Germany. Point taken?
Thanks for the info, best regards, Frank

Huh ? I distinctly remember seeing Barks' zombie painting (with Bombie
standing in a swamp) in one of the CBLiC albums, along with some comments
that Barks didn't really like painting swamps, that kinda stuff was more
for the EC Comics guys etc. It *might* have been in the Uncle Scrooge
series, but I'm 99% sure it was WDC&S. Anybode else that can help ?

Yes, it's off-topic, but sufficient ingredients have been given us already
to make us interested in the rest of the story: Poul Frokjar tells us that
a friend of his has found Whiz Comics #2 from 1940 in f/vf ... at a flea market
in Koebenhavn? Pray tell us: is it the Real McCoy, or only one of the many
Fake McCoys? See the Overstreet guide for appropriate explanations and
warnings. Only up to 100 copies are known to exist of the Real Thing, and
these can indeed get large sums of money (mint copy sold in 1995 for $176,000
cash; fine condition has value $24,000). But the other ones, well produced
1974 reprints, as Dwight Decker reminded us, could bring in perhaps up to 10 $.
So, again, we need the final leg of info in order to know which educational
story we should tell our children: about a lucky cousin Gladstone who finances
his new apartment by a serendipitious incidence, or about the downs and ups of
human hopes and follies, or about the unlucky circumstances surrounding the
poor ignorant previous owner, or about first order topological singularities
in the two-dimensional mappings of demand and supply curves in capitalistic
societies, or ...

Here's another one! I love SF, especially Star Trek:The Next Generation.
Almost everything else goes for me too, B5, DS9, QUANTUM LEAP etc. I
also read alot.

Thank you Mikko, you got my point! That's what I meant and apparently
there ARE more of us here who would like to see Don Rosa in Turku...

HA! :D
Now to my idea, which I actually heard got my friend. This is the thing:
Exchanging Christmas cards. Wouldn't it be nice to get Christmas cards
from all over the world? People have been trying this kind of thing on
some other lists: Everyone who would like to participate sends an e-mail
containing their "snail mail" address to the person responsible, who now
would be me. The person then (after the dead-line) compiles the
addresses as one list and sends it to all the paticipants. They select
as many as they want from that list and simply send them a Cristmas
card.
So, if you understood anything from that, and like the idea too, you can
send me your addresses. Put "X-mas" to the subject line, please.
Thedead-line could be December 10th.
I think it's a great idea anyway.

Don Rosa in Oslo
Message 189 -
1997-11-21 at 18:44:49
Rosa in Oslo: a pre-visit low-knowledge report!
Don's Oslo editor (representing Donald Duck & Co./Hjemmet/Egmont) is
responsible for planning and coordinating Rosa's Oslo visit. I understand
there are certain plans for "signing sessions" for the Norwegian edition of
the hardcover book, which will be just out, hot from the press. These might
take place at Tanum and/or Tronsmo bookshops, as I understand [cf. my
sociological description of these some days ago], and possibly on Tuesday?
Wheels are also set in motion to make something happen for TV and media,
seemingly. Don is coming from Koebenhavn (well, Copenhagen to some of you)
on Sunday.
It appears that planning has been slower than anticipated. I guess Don will
cheerfully do just what is required of him, whether this entails a lot of
work or not much at all. His visit to the Norwegian Comic Book Gallery, which
is also an interesting comic book shop, run by Jan P. Krogh, will be on Monday
from 1 to 2 (according to current plans). This is disappointing, in timing and
in length, and in terms of prior notice. Too few people will know, and too few
people will have a chance to come and talk to Don.
Journalists might have good opportunities for photo sessions and interviews,
which is good, but this time the ordinary fans have not been given the best
of chances. This is unfortunate in view of Don's famous openness to fans and
willingness to spend time talking with them and autographing comics and
drawings. And I feel perhaps that the Comic Book Gallery has been short-changed
here; they do a good pro-Donald and pro-Disney and pro-Rosa and pro-comics job
all year round, without any real support from the publishing houses and
industry that benefit from such work. Don has been visiting this interesting
shop/gallery/museum several times, for example in connection with the Ten
Avatars exhibition, and he has also artfully and effectfully made a painting
on one of the shop's doors.
It will be interesting to see Rosa's hardcover book (Norwegian edition). One
question, for which I do not know the answer, is: are the factual errors,
which Don felt compelled to correct manually in each of the Limited de Lux
Edition Gladstone copies, also in the Scandinavian prefaces? Or have these
Scandinavian introduction sections been made completely independent? And
independently of each other? -- This must also be an exciting experiment for
the publishers. For about 12 years in a row nice Barks hardcover books have
been published around this time of year, that is, the advisable month before
Christmas, and I guess these have been selling quite well (price level around
25 $ for around 200 pages each time?). So this can be viewed as an interesting
attempt to put, for the first time, DR rather than CB under the Scandinavian
Christmas trees.

PS: How has Don's Danish excursion been? Any observers out there with reports
to file?

Hello,
Are you ready for the third part of the results from the International
Disney Survey?
This posting is dedicated to our preferred stories: first of all the
result here appearing are a little different from the ones you saw in
the web page because of an error I made in the data-extracting
procedure :-( . Well, however at the first place there is a triple ex
aequo with two stories from Don Rosa and another one from Carl Barks:
"The attack of the hideous space varmints", "The life and times of
Scrooge McDuck" and "Lost in the Andes". I think it's a good result
for Lo$ and the square eggs' story, which are both really *great*
stories, but I don't dare to say the same for the space varmints. It
hasn't yet published in Italy, but from what I read on this list it
seem more to be a _normal_ story than a great one... time will say...
BTW this is the complete listing:
4 votes for Lost In The Andes
4 votes for Attack Of The Hideous Space Varmints
4 votes for The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck
3 votes for A Christmas For Shaketown
2 votes for Return To Xanadu
2 votes for A Little Something Special
1 vote for A Financial Fable
1 vote for Donald Duck and Neighbor Jones
1 vote for Hearts Of The Yukon
1 vote for Incident At McDuck Tower
1 vote for Last Sled To Dawson
1 vote for Mickey Mouse And The Pirate Submarine
1 vote for On Stolen Time
1 vote for The Seven Cities Of Cibola
1 vote for Return To Plain Awful
1 vote for Donald And The Submarine Adventure
1 vote for Only A Poor Old Man
1 vote for Of Ducks And Dimes And Destinies
1 vote for Mickey Mouse and Kal's nail
1 vote for Mickey Mouse Monarch Of Medioka
1 vote for Donald Fishing On Ice
1 vote for W.H.O.A.L.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N.

1 vote for Mickey Mouse In "Love Trouble"
1 vote for Land Of The Pigmy Indians
1 vote for His Majesty, McDuck
1 vote for Ghost Of The Grotto
1 vote for A Matter Of Some Gravity
Well, even in this listing Don resulted as the total "winner" (...it
wasn't a contest) with 22 votes, following is Carl Barks with 15
votes, Floyd Gottfredson 3, Romano Scarpa 2 and Giorgio Cavazzano 1
vote for his first story with Reginella.
The division of this result isn't very significative because of the
total dispersion of the votes, there are just two groups: 3 votes from
the space varmints came from Norway and 2 for Lo$ from USA, each other
story gained its votes from different countries.
Computing the stories with the preferred charachter we can see some
interesting things: 2 votes for "A Christmas for Shaketown" reported
as preferred charachter Mickey Mouse and Black Pete. The ones who
voted Magica de'Spell as their preferred charachter voted as preferred
story two recent Rosa's stories with Magica: "Of Ducks And Dimes And
Destinies" and "A Little Something Special"; all the ones who votes
for a Mickey's story voted for Mickey as preferred charachter too,
except for the one who voted for "Mickey and the Chirikawa Necklace"
who voted for Donald.
Well, that's enough typing for today, tomorrow I'll post the last
segment of this survey, for now I say
Ciao,

Gladstone comics in Europe
Message 192 -

Hello everybody.
Sorry to burst in like this, I know it is a bit rude to post to a mailing
list after only one week of subscribing, and without a proper introDUCKtion
(that would come soon), but I'm quite worried about some messages I read in
issue #252, about troubles with Gladstone comics in Germany and Norway.
I never heard about it before, but I reckon we are experiencing the same
situation in Italy.
Here's the facts I know for certain:
I get my comics from the States in two different way; I subscribe directly
with Gladstone to WDC and the CBL albums, while I get US, USA and DDA from
a comic bookshop here in Italy (which is MUCH cheaper). Strangely enough, I
had never been able to obtain WDC, nor DD through the shop, since the local
distributor (yet unnamed) denied their very existence for months. In a
further attempt, just yesterday, the shop's owner phoned again the
distributor who, this time, gave a slightly different, but more likely
version.
If a comic title appears on a catalog/magazine called "Preview", therefore
it exists, otherwise it doesn't. Very simple and effective,
organization-wise.
We pointed out that, on "Preview"'s last issue, WDC did appear, so my order
was accepted from issue #622 on (we'll see about that), but they refused to
even listen about DD and the new titles (TAUS and US&DD), that weren't
shown in the authoritative mag.
About the not really important fact that no Gladstone comics at all arrived
in the previous couple of months, they replied that yes, they did notice,
too...
What I could add here is that not even my "regular" subscription to WDC
showed up in the past 5 months, which seems unthinkable, although the CBL
albums keep arriving regularly (but those are shipped Air-Mail).
Of course I e-mailed Gladstone, as soon as I received a renewal invitation
for my disappearing subscription to WDC, but I haven't heard of them as
yet.
I was thinking about contacting a shop in London, called "GOSH!" comics,
which is BTW just about the only shop in the UK where I could find any
Disney comics (please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm in London quite often,
and would really like to know about more places for comics), to check
whether a sort of subscription arrangement could be made with them, but,
then, England is in Europe as well, and this thing seems to be generated
from the other side of the Pond...
Well, I reckon it could be an old story for you, but I'm a newcomer, and I
would really appreciate it, if anybody out there could sorta "illuminate"
me about what's going on, and, perhaps, suggest some alternative way to get
Gladstone comics in Italy.
Thanks

Well, I subscribe to "Uncle Scrooge", but the last issue I got was 306
(with the "Pizen Bluff" story). It certainly FEELS like a long time since I
got that issue now.....
