Fellow Quackeroos:
The March issue of KOMIX features the following:
1) On its cover a detail from Barks' oil painting "Danger, Tycoon at Play".
2) "Many happy returns, Mr. Barks", a two-page editorial on the occasion of
Barks' 98th birthday later this month.
3) Barks' "The House of Haunts", from U$ #65, 1966.
4) A one-page editorial on "The rehabilitation of the Beagle Boys".
5) "...via col vinto", AT #255, 1978, art by Romano Scarpa, story by the
Disney Studio.
6) "The Italian Mickey Mouse", a one-page editorial on the arrival of the
Mouse in neighboring Italy, first in newspaper strips in 1930 and two years
later in "TOPOLINO" and...."TOPO LINO" by Nerbini and son!
7) Barks' "Fastaway, Castaway", from U$ #35, 1961
8) "The Monarch of Medioka: Part III", adaptation of Osborn and
Gottfredson's original by Bill Wright.
In other Disney comics-related news here in Greece, the Greek weekly "Miky
Maus" has announced that starting next week, it'll print in ten consecutive
issues Giorgio Pezzin's "C'era una volta...in America" ("Once upon a time in
America")! That 10-chapter saga was mostly drawn by Massimo De Vita, hence
its publication here in Greece marks a major event!
Cheers,
Archontis

The people from Inducks (the Disney comics database) are continuously
working on keeping the French and Italian data up-to-date. Not only for
Rosa's work, but for *all* Disney comics. A Rosa index (generated from the
Inducks) with all known reprints can be found on:
http://members.xoom.com/bolderbast/
Follow the link "Index files for creators (Barks, Rosa, etc.)" and then
you'll see 3 Rosa pages, for comics, gags and covers. The Italian reprints
are preceded by "it:" (data mainly from Alberto Becattini and Francesco
Spreafico), the French reprints by "fr:" (data from Francois Willot, Olivier
Michelet, and me).
Teme:

I have a theory about this.
The word "Dollar" originates (indirectly, through the Dutch) from the German
"Taler", which is short for "Joachimsthaler", a coin from the place
Joachimsthal. So it might be quite appropriate to call a person who has a
lot of these dollars "Joachim", or the northern-European form "Joakim".
The Italian form for "Joakim" is Gioacchino, which can be shortened as
"Keno". So maybe the Danes named him Joakim because they knew that 50 years
later some Italian-originated American with that name would make stories
with him...

My guess is that you mean the 24-page story "Pineapple Poachers" from WD's
Comics 234, 235, 236. This story was reprinted in 1982 in WD's Comics 500,
501, and 502. The story involves the little Menehune people.
We don't have information about British reprints.

Strangest Disney story
Message 5 -
1999-03-01 at 17:13:10
I recently came across what must be the oddest Disney story I've read. It
was a Mickey and Goofy one-pager, and described Goofy's problems in getting
to sleep because of *mouse* noises in his wall! He asks Mickey for advice,
but Mickey just laughs. Goofy eventually solves the problem by drilling the
mouse holes himself; the final frame shows puzzled rodents peering out of
their holes at him. I imagine this has been discussed on the list many times
before, but it seems clear that Mickey isn't intended to be considered a
mouse in an absolutely literal sense!

A report on whats out in the scandinavian newsstands in feb-march
(A buyers guide.):
Egmont Weekly
#8 (Feb, 22)
Kicks off with a lead story drawn by Vicar and written by Per Hedman. ( D
98122) A pretty average story.
A better choice for a lead story would have been Stefan Petruchas Duck
story in the same issue. Although its not as good drawn as the Vicar one.
Good script, Colomer art. Not a winning combination. But very enjoyable
reading. D98169.
This issue also has part two of the old Sutter/Vicar story about the bird
Rok from 1978 and a MM onepager drawn by Carla.
But, hey, lets not forget that there's also a 10page MM story by Noel Van
Horn in this issue!
If you enjoy his art this is a really good buy.
#9 (March, 1)
This issues lead story is just eh...krazy! Imagine a DD story jam packed
with talking chairs and you've got this, least to say, strange story by
Janet Gilbert and Vicar. I of course like it! (Where can I buy that chair
with a duck bill and four webfoots?) D97438
Next comes an average Daisy story that is drawn in a very Branca like
style. The artists, Gattino, inking looks more like Brancas than Brancas
own inking does.
There's also a MM story by Pat and Carol McGreal drawn by Ferioli. Needless
to say it's a good story as always when the McGreals are involved.
Outstanding Ferioli art. D 98156.
+ the first part of Don Rosas brand new story about the lost dutchman mine.
D98202.
#10 ( March 8)
Starts with a down to earth and very, very good DD story written by Gorm
Transgaard and drawn by, as usual, Vicar.
In this issue we also find a Sarah Kinney story and a reprint of a 1984
Branca story.
+ Th second and last part of the new Rosa story. (Also check out if you can
spot the name of a DcD-list member in this part of the story)
All of these issues has 64 pages and comes in plastic bags and includes
plastic toys. Give the toys to your kids and keep the books in your
collection. This is really good stuff. Especially the wonderful
Walsh/Gonzales gag pages that appears in every issue.
Enough.

I wrote the Hercules Graphic novel for France, along with rough page layout
sketches for the entire book. The French Graphic novel is stunning. Beautiful
artwork! Superb color.
I also wrote several short stories through Disney, Burbank, for a Disney
licensee in Brazil. Whether or not any of them found their way into print in
the U.S or Europe, I don't know. I've never seen any artwork on them. They
were 8-page stories, with titles such as "Herc's Workout Club," "Herc's
Chores," and "The Monster of Thebes." They were my working titles and I have
no idea what they might have been called when they were translated.
The Acclaim stuff was an abomination, and I'm sorry that's all that was
available to the U.S readers. Woof!

I agree with you in some points, and disagree in others, but I think
that, for standards to be raised, one first needs to agree that they
need be raised. Otherwise you'll be set up for a lifetime of low
standards. Of course I don't request professional results for everyone
standing at the line in the convention. I don't request anything, come
to think of it. :) I am not about to reject any artist's effort saying,
"uh uh, like not, do again, more effort, got to be ready-for-press" or
something like that.
Here's a test of the good sketch: You show it to your friend while
saying, for example, "see this Bart Simpson? It was made by Matt
Groening". The possible answers are "WOW!!" and "Yeah, sure. C'mon" I've
seen very few sketches that would get the first answer!
Now as a reward for having read this to the end :) a bit of Don Rosa
artwork I found on the Web.
