Hello.
When I was a child, on holiday in Germany in the early part of 1966, I
remember having bought for me a copy of Mickey Mouse ("Micky Maus"?) that
I'd like to try to track down (in its English equivalent). It was bought new
in the first half of 1966, and I remember one frame shows Mickey tripping
over a half-buried object (a treasure chest?) in the sand.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks,
David King.

Hello all
Can you tell me what do the several numbers in
the creators file mean ?
And why some full names of the first column don't
appear in the third ?

Thanks for all answers !
Now I know the roots of this word.
This is my first step in greek :-)
The second step would be that you tell
me how do you "feel" this word in your
language ?
ie : in French the translation sounds like
a funny word. Probably because the translation
is made with usual word. In english, the
translation of the french version could be :
thirteenophobia.
Is the fact of using Greek roots to compose
this word affect the feeling of this word for
Italians ?
Can you give me your opinion ?
Thanks for your future answers.
Oliv
PS : I'm sorry for the ending message.
If you know a free mail server with SMTP...
I'm looking for it but it's not easy to find.

So, Paolo (hi!),
you didn't like the exhibition held in Rome to celebrate the 50th
birthday of "Topolino". This opinion by yourself is very interesting,
because maybe it reflects that one of many "addetti ai lavori".

Ahi, ahi! I'll go to visit it only in the days of Expocartoon. For me
it's impossible to go to Rome earlier.
>
> There are original panels from Italian stories,
Original artworks, you mean! With Federico Fiecconi they were chosen
by myself, in the Disney Archives, around Piacenza. There are some old
(very old) Bottaro's and carpi's stuff which I found extremely
interesting.
> a collection of gadgets

It comes from the Sergio Pignatone's collection; a part of it was
exhibited in the last Lucca Comics, joined with the Floyd
Gottfredson's show.

Well, I must give you a disillusion. I wish to see the original
illustrations, which come from a private collection. The owner told
that that one is the original Disney signature. But I spoke with
Romano Scarpa, last week, in Positano, and he confirmed that those
signatures were made by himself!!! Like in his early comics.

We must be raiding the same used comics bin, as I bought "KLASIKA" #121 only
a couple of weeks ago. Indeed, a great story!
I remember back when I learnt about Carl Barks, when I would flip through
my stack of old greek Mickey Mouse comics, setting aside any stories that I
recognized as being in his style. These days I do the same for Romano Scarpa
in used book stores! It is surprising how many good stories had been printed
in Greece in the more than thirty years that their being published in this
country.

I suspect there is a new meaning to the word "treiskaidecaphobia": Fear
of being the only one who fails to answer "what does treiskaidecaphobia
mean"!!! BTW, I believe the word greeks actually use is
"decatriophobia" (pronounced thekatriofovEEa, with the "th" sound as in
the word "the"), and I'm almost certain there was a Donald Duck story
published in Greece under that name. (The same story that generated
the "treiskaidecaphobia" question, perhaps?)

Simple answer: yes. 8-)
Slightly less simple answer, taken from the "Grimble Gromble" pages
(http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/5038/biograph.htm):
<<
On June 30, 1966, Barks retired and he left the world he created to new
artists who picked up his style and approach. Still, this wasn't the end of
his career. From 1972 up to today he has made about 150 paintings which
mostly feature scenes from his stories and covers. In 1994 he made a tour
through Europe and he co-worked on two new stories: Horsing Around with
History (1994) and the yet-to-be-published Somewhere in Nowhere (1997). He's
also involved in the making of some collectibles, like the 70 drawings he
made for his 96th birthday in 1997.
>>
This text forgets to mention that Barks also did the scripts of many Junior
Woodchuck stories in the early 70s. Other people did the finished drawings.

That was 24 Junior Woodchuck stories in the period 1970 to 1974.
He also did the scripts for some Donald Duck stories:
"Pawns of the Loup Garou" (DD 117, jan 68)
"Officer for a day" (DD 126, july 69)
"A day in a duck's life" (DD 138, july 71)
"Hang gliders be hanged" (first published in Denmark I think)
And the script for the Uncle Scrooge story:
"Go slowly sands of time" (US 216, april 87)
This script was written much earlier (around 1968?), and a version
illustrated by Barks appeared in the book "Uncle Scrooge McDuck: His life &
Times" (Celestial arts 1982).
But what about the Daisy Duck Diary story "The Dainty Daredevil" first
published in Walt Disney's Comics Digest 5, November 1968? Was it written
before retirement?

Believe it or not, "treiskaidecaphobia" sounds odd to a modern greek's
