GILBERT ROSER to DANNY COENEN, 05-03-1998:
> The movie "The Black Cauldron" was released on video in the UK in PAL-
> format. F 85140 is a 38 pages comic-adaptation of this film: [...]
I don't know about other countries, but in Holland extensive attention is
given to the Disney movies. Everytime a movie is released, not only a
comic adaption is made, but also some sequels (which act mostly as if the
movie's end never happened).
Of "The Black Cauldron", some kind of 'interactive' adventure comic-book
(Dutch?) story was made. On some panels the readers could make a descision,
and depending on the choice they were referred to the next scene which
should then be read. This way the story has different endings and at the
time (1987?) I found it quite original and very enjoyable. Haven't read it
since though.
Greetings,

A *very* interesting thought! Could this be true? Does someone here know?
Scrooge McDuck was inspired on Ebenezer Scrooge, so maybe Magica also was
inspired on real people?
I guess Magica is indeed a beautiful femme fatale, if that's the right
word. The only reason why I'm not so fond of her, is that she inspired
quite a lot of artist to make Magica-trying-to-get-Scrooge's-dime stories.
Sometimes these are really very flat, because of the big emphasis on the
dime being a *lucky* one.

I have a copy of this book - it was originally published in 1981, and included interviews with Barks in which he discusses each of the stories in the book and gives a general overview of Scrooge. The 12th story is the script for "Go Slowly, Sands of Time" as a text piece, with about ten illustrations painted by Barks. This script was later used by Egmont in the comic version drawn (I think) by Jippes. The 1981 hardcover version is pretty rare and one copy I almost bought had about forty pages missing due to a printing error. The book was republished in paperback in 1987 (which I have, and which was a lot cheaper!).
By the way, I think the long van Horn story referred to as "Ice in the Cargo" elsewhere in the Digest may be "The Saphead Factor", which came out in Gladstone's last DDA. I rather liked this one - it reminded me of Frozen Gold a bit, but with van Horn's usual groovy gags.

ASSIGNMENT: COMICS by Michael Dean
*********************************************************
HAMILTON DROPS CREATOR BARKS FROM CIVIL SUIT
*********************************************************
An estrangement between Uncle Scrooge creator Carl Barks and
Gladstone Comics Publisher Bruce Hamilton ended Christmas Eve 1997, when
Hamilton agreed to drop the 96-year-old Barks from a civil action filed
last year against Barks and Carl Barks Studio owners William Grandey and
Kathy Morby. The amended complaint of the suit, which had alleged a breach
of contract by Barks, was filed in U.S. District Court, District of Oregon,
Feb. 5 of this year to remove the claims against Barks.
As amended, Hamilton's suit names only Grandey, Morby, Seattle
comics-store owner Becky Hoff, and The Carl Barks Studio as defendants. It
alleges that Grandey and Morby induced Barks to breach business agreements
with Hamilton and made false and libelous statements about Hamilton,
Hamilton's companies, and frequent Gladstone artist Don Rosa. Hoff is named
in the suit because of a letter printed in CBG's Oh,So? column in #1212, a
letter disputed by Robert Beerbohm in #1215.
The suit asks for damages to be determined at trail, an injunction
against activities by The Carl Barks Studio which Hamilton says violated an
exclusivity agreement between himself and Barks, and punitive damages in
the amount of $500,000.
Although Hamilton dropped Barks from his suit, cross claims filed
in January against Barks by Carl Barks Studio owners William Grandey and
Kathy Morby are still in court, as is a countersuit brought against them
the same month by Barks.
Grandey and Morby , themselves defendants in the suit filed by
Hamilton, filed the following cross claims against Barks in the same court
on Jan. 5:
* Grandey and Morby allege that Barks promised to give them a 1984
Toyota and $80,000 in return for their early relocation from Seattle,Wash.,
to Grants Pass, Ore. The two have asked for $90,000 in damages.
* Grandey and Morby allege that Barks has refused to pay them an
agreed 30% commission on the sale of three pieces of art for a total of
$126,000. They have asked for damages in the amount of $84,000.
* Grandey and Morby allege that Barks refused to pay them an agreed
$42,035.87 in travel expenses.
* Grandey and Morby allege that Barks has breached an agreement
between them by failing to pursue designs and art for several projects,
including serigraphs, drawings, a figurine, a ring, and a watch. They have
asked to be awarded damages in an amount to be determined by trial.
Barks has denied all the allegations of the cross claims and filed
a countersuit in the same court on Jan. 29 against Grandey and Morby,
alleging that they have taken advantage of his advanced age and
vulnerability, causing him economic and emotional damage. Barks'
countersuit makes the following demands:
* A complete accounting of all books and records of the Carl Barks
Studio relating to Barks and an injunction against Grandey and Morby's use
of Barks' name in their business activities.
* Return of $80,000 in funds belonging to him which he alleges has
been withheld from him by Grandey and Morby.
* Damages resulting from emotional stress in the amount of $500,000.
* Punitive damages in the amount of $500,000, which Barks alleges
is warranted by actions on the part of Grandey and Morby which constitute
abuse of the elderly.
In the wake of the countersuit, Grandey and Morby have been using
the name "Marc Davis Studio" on correspondence. Marc Davis was a member of
Walt Disney's original animation team and will be feted at Walt Disney
World on the occasion of his 85th birthday March 28.
At press time, no trial date had been set, and representatives of
Hamilton, Barks, Morby, and Grandey had not responded for attribution. CBG
will continue to cover developments in this story in upcoming issues.

In my "opinion," the use of the word "claws" aptly describes Grandey
and Morbey's foul treatment of Barks. I've met both Grandey and
Morbey, and chatted with them at length on several occasions (I've
bought enough of their stuff!), and I'm sure others on this list also
know them. And because of that I know that their knowledge of the
ducks in the comics is scant, but thier skill in latching onto money
making patriarchs of the Disney world is great.

Why should Johnathon try to sound impartial? He was expressing his
opinion! We're suppossed to be free to express our opinions here,
aren't we? You, Daniel, sure did enough spouting of your opinions
awhile back when you took Don Rosa to task. Now you remonstrate

about Rosa, is it? It's about Grandy, Morbey and Barks.

Note that only *two* stories are "restored" that way: "Back to the

(later) printed these restored versions as well, and in Europe the

The comic version was drawn by Vicar.
I have the softcover 1987 version of the book, and I'm curious about the
differences between this book and the hardcover 1981 edition. I know of
at least two differences: Barks made a new drawing especially for the
1987 book, and that book contains a checklist of the "Uncle Scrooge"
comic book, including the first Gladstone comics up to 1987.

A slight clarification: the movie adaptations are never made in Holland;
they get the stories from elsewhere (USA, France, Egmont). The sequels
usually *are* both Dutch (H-coded) producktions and foreign stories.

"Billions in the Hole" is not by the famous Marco Rota, but by some

And most of the story takes place under the surface, so yes, you could
call it an "underground" story.
