Does anyone know where I can find a Carl Barks non-Disney index?
Haakon

Hi everybody,

I was in Lucca, in the past week-end and here follows my short report.

I arrived around at 9.30, gave my name at the reception, got my pass
(thanks again to Luca Boschi), shortly took a look around and went to
the PK - Paperinik new adventures meeting.
Silvia Ziche, Tito Faraci and Francesco Artibani were there, talking about=

the =93PK project=94 and answering questions from Fabio Gadducci.
Here I met the list members Marco Barlotti and Paolo Castagno.
Marco disappeared quite soon, chasing some copies of Albi della Rosa
he was missing from (he had, of course, a =93missing issues list=94 he ha=
d
gotten from a printout of his web pages).
Paolo and I went around, looking for some issues of Topolino and I
Classici.
Paolo introduced me to Harry Fluks, Luca Boschi and Alberto Becattini,
who, introduced us (!) the great Luciano Bottaro.
We even saw Carlo Chendi and G.B. Carpi, among others.
After lunch , I met Harry again and we went to his car where he had
brought some spare issues of foreign Disney comics to give away. I got
some of them (thanks Harry !).
Then we went back to the Meeting Hall for the World Database Meeting.
Here we had the chance to meet, among many others, Bottaro who
answered some questions about the DcD and who kindly signed me a
copy of =93Il Dottor Paperus=94 I had with me.
After that we spent some good time taking about Disney comics with
Alberto Becattini and other members of the list. Miroslav Benassi was
there too.
At 5.30 pm I got back home. The only bad thing was that it took me more
than one hour to get out of the fair area, because of the traffic which wa=
s
there.

A nice =93comic=94 Saturday.

All the best,

Fabrizio.

Wait a second. They are *not* anonymous but they *are* Italian ;-),
and some of the stories *have* codes on their splash panels. And
Marco, we've already indexed that book, it's called GBAR 1,
GBAR=3Dgoldbar, it is however RED with golden letters. It is a real
gigante with it's 640 pages without a single commercial.

Here is the content of the Danish version:

The three-letter initials are the writer/artist. TS is Tony Strobl, and
he is not Italian ;-)

But, as you said, no Barks stories at all, which I find quite
acceptable. Most Barks stories have already been re-reprinted in
Scandinavia, while many of the stories above have not. It is strange
though that this "50 years with Uncle Scrooge"-book only contains
stories from the 70's...

My problem is as follows:
I have two "Aku Ankan taskukirja" pocket books from 1989 and 1990
that contain two quite special stories. The stories are "interactive",
in other words they let the reader change the way they end. For example,
if Mickey and Goofy find a closed door in one of those stories and don't
know what's behind it, the reader is given a chance to decide whether
they open it right away("go to page 73")or wait until morning("go to
page 85"). That way a single story can in fact include six different
stories.
I only have two of these stories myself. The other one was published in
"AA:n taskukirja" #117. It's a Mickey & Goofy story and tells about
their adventures in an ancient castle. The other one ("AA:n taskukirja"
#128) takes place in the Mediterranean and tells about Scrooge's efforts
to lift a shipwreck loaded with Julius Caesar's olive oil pots.
As far as I know, the stories are originally German. The original names
of the pocket books are "Enterhausener Wunschkonzert"(AA #117) and "Die
neue Eiszeit" (AA #128).

It would be nice to know if there are any other "interactive" stories
than those two somewhere. Perhaps somebody in Germany has seen such
stories??

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I have this already and I removed the centerfold from the comic. I
loved the tree and would love a full-size glossy version.

B. Martin

I am interested in obtaining a complete set of the Carl Barks
Library---in any condition. When Gladstone was publishing this set, I
was a mere scrub and could not afford it then (and I am doubtful that I
would be able to afford perfect condition editions of the Library now).
Could any direct me to a source where I could get a set of the CBL? I
would greatly appreciate any e-mail responses or any responses in
general.

I'm aware this is probably a near impossible goal for me to reach for,
but I would really like to have a complete set to add to my collect and
to use a reference guides. Please---someone direct me to a source.

Thanks,

Marquetta Pisarcik

Marco and Paolo already wrote about the Lucca comic convention. It took me
slightly longer to reach my e-mail again, so here is my report...
(Warning: the rest of this mail may be of little interest to most of you...)

First of all, a big thank-you to Luca Boschi and Fabio Gadducci! Their
organisation efforts were great, as they were last year (when I first
visited Lucca).

Last Friday was our first visit to the fair. I brought with me my sister and
a friend of hers. That friend had only seen Lucca by rain, so this time she
came with us to see the city by nice weather (she showed us the shop where
she bought an umbrella last time 8-). We had a brief walk through the fair
ground (my sister and her friend are hardly interested in comics). All they
could say was that it was very big and crowded. And that was on Friday, the
least busy day!
We said a quick "hi" to Luca and Fabio, and we just missed Leonardo Gori...
(fortunately he was there on Saturday, too).

After I dropped my accompanees in the town of Lucca, I spent the rest of the
afternoon walking around, and having chats with Carsten Laqua (a German art
salesman), Manfred Ahl (an Austrian art collector), and Alberto Becattini.
And somewhere during the afternoon there was the "official opening" (I
think), where people like Sidney Jordan attended.

Laqua brought with him some very interesting Disney comic art, including
some of the new Daan Jippes pages (redrawn Barks scripts). These pages have
not even been published yet, and are already for sale!

On Saturday, I brought my sister&friend to Pisa, to see the tower and the
railway station (they were going to Firenze that day). I was in Lucca at
11:30, which I think was just in time to miss the PK convention.

After having spent a few minutes with Alberto, Paolo, Fabrizio, Bottaro,
Colantuoni, Chendi, and others, I ran into our new mailing list member
Armando Botto. I didn't know him, but he knew me from the photograph on my
web site. I must admit that our meeting was much too short: I didn't even
remember your face afterwards, Armando! Next time, we have to talk a bit
longer!

At the "Database" meeting at 15:00, I was surprised that people were
actually asking questions to me. I was not prepared for this, and I hope
that Alberto has covered for me when translating the silly answers I gave...
(Question: "Can you reach the database from Internet?" My answer: "Si.")
After a while, a lot of people entered the tent where our discussion was. I
think they came there because it started to rain... 8-)
Or more likely, they were waiting for the presentation of Bottaro's new
book, which was right after our Database meeting.

I planned to actually show the Disney comics Database on a laptop PC that I
brought with me. But for some reason the PC didn't work properly.
Eventually, when it worked again, all I could do was give Alberto a private
demonstration... (And, of course, Alberto promptly spotted some errors in
the database! 8-)

The rest of the day was very enjoying. In particular the big talk I had with
Ulrich Schroeder. Paolo wrote that he "seems to be a very nice person". He
IS a very nice person.
Unfortunately, I forgot to ask him to make a drawing for me...

One funny thing was my chatting with Miroslav Benassi and Alberto Becattini:
MB only knows Italian and German, AB only knows Italian and English, and I
only know German and English. So every time 2 of the 3 people were talking
in a Language they both knew, the third person could not understand!

On Sunday we went to see San Gimingano, and after that we went home again.
On the way back in Germany, I picked up one of the Mickey specials that you
were discussing here. The one with the Gerstein frame story.

We had a short, but very nice weekend in Italy! Thanks again to all
involved.

--Harry.
(Too bad about your car, Paolo!)

I think you are referring to the half-page that was penciled by Barks in the
80s, and drawn by Daan Jippes. This half-page is most likely not reflecting
the original cut panels. Anyway, I think the panels were only cut because
the total length of the story should be an entire number of pages.

This story and its changes are discussed on Daniel's web page about Barks:
