Some digests ago I noted that a bunch of Gladstone comics had suddenly
appeared in a local comics store here in Trondheim, Norway. No-one replied
to my question on if that meant that Gladstone could distribute in Europe
again, so I assumed they couldn't. Anyway, why is the interest regarding
this subject suddenly zero?

CHRISTOPHER E. BARAT --
Using "The End" as part of a rhyme in Bucky Bug wasn't
done in the old stories, but I think it should have been, so I
did it. Sound effects, however, were very much a part of the
meter and rhyme scheme in the '40s. Both of these, far from
"help pick up the loose ends of some rhymes", constituted
additional minor problems that had to be solved.
ARCHONTIS PANTSIOS --
You've left out one type of person who might buy the
Gladstone albums -- parents. It's well within the range of what
a parent might spend for a good children's book. Whenever I
mention the Gladstone albums, I make sure to point out that fact.

Hi!
When I picked up my copy of French Picsou #314 in Belgium
today, I noticed that the cover of the magazine has become
really nice and glossy. But that was not really so special,
what I found really interesting was the beautiful cover of
issue #219 of French Mickey Parade. I've never seen anything
like it. It must be some kind of new technique, where some
parts (characters and letters) are extremely smooth (as
if they are seperated from the rest) and the background feels
more stiff and matt. It looks and feels really strange but
it is just great! Is Disney Hachette Presse using this
new technique on more of it's titles?
Bye!

Well, Archontis... If you really like italian stuff, maybe they are
worthwhile, but if you are used to read the two otrer books... It'
really different stuff. Reprints from old "Topolino" (two good stories
each issue, the opening and the closing ones), then, normally, under
the average stuff.
When the pocket come out, in 1957, and for more than ten years,
"Classici" was really a must: the best stories published in "Topolino"
(a lot of Scarpa's, Bottaro's, P. L. DE Vita's and Carpi's stuff). But
its quality was really compromised in the following years, even if
Cavazzano and Massimo De Vita should have start to produce their best
materials. I don't want to be too much severe, but I could say that if
you can collect old issues... well... you'll be happier than if you
subscribe to new ones!

To feed my Klondike obsession, I spent the last two nights watching
movies about the Gold Rush. This *is* the 100th anniversary of it,
after all.
I saw Mae West in "Klondike Annie". There wasn't much that resembled
the comics, so I won't go into detail other than to say I never realized
how much the actress who voiced Glittering Goldie on DuckTales sounds
like Mae West.
I also finally saw Charlie Chaplin in "Goldrush". For a movie from
1925, it wasn't bad. It certainly had some amusing moments. I didn't
see too many parallels to Scrooge there, either, however.
The best of the three Klondike movies I saw was "Call of the Wild" with
Charlton Heston. The book, is of course, a lot more famous than the
movie(s), but this film version was quite good. The character of
Calliope was very Goldie-like, and her clothes were awesome! So
awesome, in fact, that I got out my sketch book and colored pencils and
drew up a number of new Goldie pictures, wherein she kindly models these
outfits for us. :-) I'll be adding them to my webpage just after I
send this message.

This is probably completely off-topic, but if the above is taken as
a puzzle, I can think of the following answers off-hand: bash, brash,
cash, dash, gash, hash, lash, mash, rash. I haven't seen the story yet,

It seems to be interesting... Is there someone who
wants to exchange Mickey Parade #219 with Zio Paperone
#102 or some other italian stuff?

IT WASN'T BAD?? Hey, it's considered a masterpiece
worldwide!!! And, belive me, if I, who am a fan of
Lauel & Hardy who can't suffer Chaplin, say it, well
it minds that it HAS to be a really GREAT MOVIE.

Well, that's sure, the more recent issues can't stand
the comparision with the ones from the first serie,
infact they reprint the stories from the more recent
issues of Topolino, a very poor material!!! :-(
But if someone (Archontis?) will decide to buy the
first issues of I Classici, he will have to spend a
lot of money...

Well, my own interest is still acute... I'm still months
behind with my WDC subscription (#619) and, as far as I know,
no Gladstone comic reached the shelves of Italian bookshops
since last November. I live in a Rather Remote Region of
the Realm, and haven't got much choice of shops, but *both*
of them maintain that Diamond is still their *only* source
for American comics, so.... :-(
What I can add is that it was actually me that told the
two bookshop owners about the "Diamond Affair", they are
"officially" still totally in the dark about it...

I mostly agree with Luca. I only buy issues that feature some
"classic" story that I miss, by Scarpa, Carpi or Bottaro, mostly.
A "tactic" one could only adopt if the comics can be perused at
shops, though, and I don't think you've got this possibility...
L: > I don't want to be too much severe, but I could say that if

Yes, indeed. If you can find old issues of the "Classici", go for them.
The second run, from '77 on, featured reprints of the first one from
the '50-'60, on odd-numbered issues until about #70 or so, and you
can still get them at a decent price, while the originals... :-(
L: > Marco Barlotti, Lunastorta, Eta Beta (and other guys lurking, like

Well, I already suggested you could get yourself the "Comic Art"
editions, and you did... :-) I'm happy you liked them, and there's
more where they came from...
In the same series "Capolavori Disney" there's volumes about Carpi,
Bottaro and Cavazzano, as well as Murry, Bradbury, Wright and a few
others, with stuff that I've never seen reprinted anywhere else
(so far). Talking about non-reprinted stuff, there's also a
wonderful series of GIANT (but seriously) albums dedicated to
Floyd Gottfredson. All in Italian language, I'm afraid.
Oh, sorry for the ad-like communication, but this could be
useful for anybody interested in "Comic Art" stuff:
The publisher allows Comic Art Club members a 50% discount on
any order above Lit. 300.000. Don't know whether the offer is
valid for foreign customers, though, so contact them for more
details.
What can I add more? Of the current Italian titles I only collect
"Zio Paperone" and "Maestri Disney", and Luca surely told you
everything about those. There's one pocket-book title, however,
that I purchase more often than others, called "Topomystery",
which features a Gottfredson's story in each issue, plus some
others, sometimes good, sometimes not...
If you're one of the few surviving Mickey fans, it may be
worth a try...
And there's also the famed PKNA (Paperinik New Adventures), of
course... is it good for an adult collector?
Well, I'm an adult, and a collector, and... love it or hate it,
I still can't decide... ;-)

I FINALLY got all my new art online!
Please go to

to view all my new pictures! I'm rather proud of them! Of special
interest to you all is

A picture set during Goldie's month at White Agony. The scanner cut off
the very bottom, but that's a large nugget in the gold pan in the bottom
right corner.
Feedback welcome!

DANNY COENEN (to Harry Fluks):
<<...But it is obvious that Don, one of the most
popular artists, is the one that gets put down the most. (why?)>>
I'd venture to say that constructing a full-fledged back-history of Scrooge
McDuck has something to do with it. If you set a big target up for the
critics and fans to shoot at, then they will shoot at it.
HARRY FLUKS:
<<"An Eye for Detail": for once a *new* Rosa story! A quite
simple story, with some good gags. I like it!>>
So did I. I couldn't help but think of the DUCKTALES episode ("Duck in the
Iron Mask") which played on the idea of the Nephews looking alike, though the
conflict was more of an internal one (Dewey wanting to establish his
individual "look," then realizing that having identical brothers can have
advantages) than the external/gag notion Don employed here. A very clever
notion of Donald having such an eye for detail that he keeps screwing up the
big picture. One of Don's best ten-pagers, in my opinion.
DONALD MARKSTEIN:
<<I believe Tintin was known in the U.S. in 1963, but can't
be sure. It was right around then that it was being serialized in
CHILDREN'S DIGEST. I'm pretty sure it wasn't very widely known in
the comics community at that time, but if I'm correct that it was
being published here that early, anybody is likely to have run
across it.>>
According to Hal Erickson's TELEVISION CARTOONS, a TINTIN animated series ran
in syndication in the United States in the 60's. It was syndicated by Larry
Harmon Studios, the same bunch that gave us the BOZO THE CLOWN and LAUREL AND
HARDY cartoons. How widespread the syndication was, I have no idea. As for
CHILDREN'S DIGEST, I recall TINTIN being serialized there as early as 1967.

Please don't complain when you get no reply to your mails. That can
simply mean that there is nothing to add (other than "me, too" or "I
don't know"). Or, more likely, it means that people are too busy doing
other things than posting messages to this list.
In the case of Gladstone comics in Europe: I have no idea what is going
on. I can get them again with some delay, but the shop owner is not very
informative about how he got them.
