Do you remember the discussions we had a couple of years ago on the Italian

Just out of sheer curiosity... have you EVER received questions on your
scripts from Italy? ;-)

Hidden Mickeys ...

That is my opinion:
I like really comics with Donald Duck and Co.
My favourite autors are Don Rosa and Carl Barcs.
But I "love" Mickey as character.
And I know,that Donald-Comics =B4have a little bit more fun...
And so I can`t understand your "Hidden Mickeys".
I read Don Rosa`s Text on the Duckburg-Page ,too.
Now I can underszand Don Rosa`s answer to my question,if
he can imagine to make Mickey-Comics. ;-)
Is somebody on the list,who likes Donald AND Micky ?

Aku Ankka editions

Er...um... Are you sure we're talking about the same thing here?
In your message you seem to be talking about the differences between the
editions of normal weekly AA issues. As my message shows, that's not
exactly what I meant.
When I wrote about "separate editions" I was talking about special AA
sample issues that don't belong to the normal Aku Ankka series. These
"Erillispainos"-titled issues are *not* just slightly altered versions
of normal AA weeklies, but issues of their very own. Their material
comes from normal AAs, but it's not all from the same source.
"Erillispainos 10/1995", for example, is a remix of stories that were
published in more than one normal AA issues, one of them being the
D93172 from AA15/94 I mentioned. Other stories in the EP10/95 are coded
D94166, D92285 and KF 13-10-46. Is somebody willing to tell me which
normal AA issues these stories were in?
I don't know where the cover of the EP10/95 comes from, but it may have
been used in some other AA issue, too. There's a tiny "D-11946" code on
the lower left corner of the cover, similar to those I've seen in AA
issues 33/95 and 44/95. The "164004-XX-XX" code is missing, though.
These three issues have no price or publishing date printed on them, and
I don't think they can be ordered or bought anywhere. I'd love to get
them all collected in my bookshelf. That's why I was hoping that some of
the people who made these issues could give me some more information on
them.

The current Previes offers pictures and descriptions for Uncle Scrooge 321 and
WD'sC 636. U$ has a Barks story, and a Branca story; And the WDC&S has Barks,
Noel Van Horn, and a story by Janet Gilbert.
Now, we all believe that these books won't com out. Why are they still being
solisited?
My dilemma: in order to get my books, I have to order and pay for them in
advance! I will sometimes do that for books, which have been canceled; knowing
that I will get a refund later on ([I do that just in case -- the publishers
change their mind and put out a book)).
But I'm getting tired of having the comic shop take my $15 (minus my discount)
every month and sit on it. Is there any chance of these books coming out at
all??

No. I asked about this last month. Gary said it was just Gladstone's
way of always being ahead of schedule on these thing. Apparantly,
the solicitations were sent months in advance, so they still show up in
PREVIEWS, despite not actually having a snowball's chance in h-e-
double hockey sticks of coming out.

Money Bin's dimensions.

It's not easy to find someone to talk with about Brigitta's new haircut
or Fethry Duck's last disaster... So, I'm VERY glad to meet all of
you!
Now, let's go to the point...
Talking about 'imaginative translations', there's one thing I wonder:
what are the dimensions of $crooge Mc Duck's Money Bin?
In Barks' stories, $crooge says more than once that he owns a three cubic
ACRE bin full of money.
In Italian comics, $crooge always claims that he owns three cubic
HECTARES of money.
Now: since Italian stories are being published all around the world, what
does $crooge says -for an istance- in French or in German? Which are
Money Bin's dimentions, according to the different translations? Do they
follow the Barksian facts, Italian 'variations', or... else?
<div align="center">
* * *
</div>
I ask you a favor, too.Since I'm going to spend a few days in N.Y.C. ,
could anyone please tell me which Comic Shops I should haunt, once I'm
there? Thank you.

I'm sorry to say I don't remember that well what those issues were that I
was shown. I only glanced at them. But I think at least one of them said
it was "Erillispainos". As the cover resembled the other "variants" I
presumed that this was the only difference. I was said that these are
probably the most rare recent Aku Ankka books. But as that didn't exactly
fall into my specific category of collecting, I didn't pay that much
attention. (I'm more into collecting original art myself and at this point
I had already been shown the various pieces of original art on the walls
of the editorial offices, so my head was already feeling a bit too light
to focus my thoughts sharply) .
You should really contact the Aku Ankka staff for details.

Oh, I believe it! I expect hardly anyone on this mailing list has heard of
"Life In Hell". It's a feature that's flown below the radar of American
mass media for over twenty years, what you might call a "groundlevel" comic
strip. But for quite a number of years that was Matt Groening's sole claim
to fame, until that fateful day when "The Simpsons" animated shorts debuted
on "The Tracey Ullman Show". Oddly enough, Groening still does "Life In

fame, but by all indications his heart is still in comics.

Picsou # 326 contains the following stories and items:
- cover taken from a panel of a story by Barks (redrawn),
- pin-up page by Don Rosa (# 11) illustrating "Trail of the Unicorne",
- a photograph of a statue of Donald dancing with Daisy (drawing by
Jippes and published in a Gladstone comic),
- stamps with Barks' oils,
- "Trail of the Unicorne" by Barks,
- "The Crocodile Collector" by Don Rosa,
- an article about Nicolas Anelka,
- the first Gyro story, a Barks ten-pager from WDC 140,
- yet another Gladstone story from WDC 143, by Barks,
- "None of your Business" by Don Rosa,
- "Brain Strain", a short Gyro story from OS 1184, by Barks,
- some back-up Donald Duck daily strips drawn by Al Taliaferro in 1940.
It seems that the next issue of "Mickey-Parade" will also feature
"Secret of the Incas" with Scrooge and Brigitta, a story written by
Byron Erickson and drawn by Cavazzano. Cavazzano made a special cover
for its publication in "Mickey-Parade" (it is BTW the first Danish story
made for the pocket books and published in MP...).
