Italy, Germany, USA, etcetera) which I'd like to trade for ones from other
countries. If anyone is interested please email me at (Email removed)

Probably not. Not if he's from the UK. England has its own Dennis the
Menace, created by Davy Law, who slightly predates America's (so Hank
Ketcham's character, also syndicated in the UK, is there called "Just
Dennis"). This Dennis is a regular fixture in a comic book called THE BEANO,
is a few years older than Ketcham's 5-year-old and much brattier, is tall and
ugly with a tuft of unruly black hair, and has a dog named Gnasher and a pig
named Rasher.
Or maybe this IS "Just Dennis," who's blond, customarily wears
overalls with a slingshot in the back pocket, and has a dog named Ruff. So I
wonder which of the two Menaces THIS Dennis was?

Well, we had to visit a hospital because of some problems with my kidney.
But that all worked out very well (I didn't have any problems during the
rest of my holiday). Thanks again, Kriton, for accompanying me to the
hospital and the apothiki.
Apart from a lot of piles of stone and a lot of nice weather, there were
also some things that might be interesting for Disney comics fans.
I've had a closer look to (Kriton's collection of) the Greek KOMIX
magazines. It appears that they print a lot of articles straight from the
internet, without credits (and presumably without premission of the writer).
I was especially surprised to see Frank Stajano's articles about Romano
Scarpa and Giorgio Cavazzano. I consider this a theft: Disney may own any
picture with Disney characters, but they do not own articles written ABOUT
Disney comics!
To my surprise, 2nd-hand Greek comics (even recent ones) are more expensive
than new ones. The only other country I know that has this silly pricing is
the USA.
In the town of Mykonos, there was a small shop called "Super Goofy / Souper
Gkoufy". When I asked the owner why his shop was called that way, all he
said was: "we sell nuts". Apparently he assumed everyone knows Supergoof and
the super goobers. Are Disney comics really that well-known in Greece?
I visited the island of Santorini (Thira), which was in fact a big volcano.
The volcano erupted in ancient times, presumably ending civilisations on the
island and on Crete. (This also lead to the conjecture that Crete actually
is Atlantis.) The eruption must have been bigger than the one in the Dutch
East Indies in the 19th century: the Krakatau. (Sounds familiar?)
On Crete, I visited Knossos, the palace of King Minos (the one with the
Minotaur). This may sound familiar too...
I did not find any new treasures, though.

W DD 40-03 12 3/4 Donald Saves the Ship!

W DD 65-01 18 One For The Whammy (my most favourite, written by Bob

W DD 68-01 21 The Fabulous Fiddlesticks (Gregory again)
W DD 73-01 16 Riverboat Shuffle (Gregory)
W DD 74-01 14 Dive To Danger (Gregory)
W DD 81-02 12 The Golden Rainbow
...and many more. Including lots of stories drawn for the "oversees market"
or "studio program". Most of these stories were never printed in the USA.
I guess Strobl is not one of my favourite artists, but his stories were
written by some of my favourite *writers*: Bob Gregory, Dick Kinney, Carl
Barks.

The team up of above mentioned writer Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard resulted
in some of the most hilarious and funniest stories written in the mid-late
sixties for the Studio-program. Unfortunately those stories wasn't
published (With *one* exception.) in the US. And I guess that some of them
wasn't published *anywhere*(?). Most of them was printed in Australia, many
in Italy and some in Scandinavia.

Hi!
KATRIEN:
I found a new Dutch comic called "Katrien" (Daisy) in the stores today.
Pretty cool. It looks nice. The layout looks a lot like the Donald Duck
weekly. The title is targeted at girls. I hope they will finally keep this
title instead of cancelling it again after 2 issues. A while ago they tried
a version of the Italian PK series but after 2 issues they stopped it. Does
anyone know if this is only a test issue or if it is going to be a weekly or
monthly title?

That's actually "pharmakeio" (pharmacy). "Apothiki" means warehouse, or
storage place. (Of course, a pharmacy is a place where they store drugs
(drugstore in English), hence the German word "apotheke".

Well, the one we got together was marginally cheaper than cover price,
possibly because it is still available at cover price from the publisher
as a back issue. However, you're right in saying that out-of-print KOMIX
issues are very expensive. This is also true for other Disney comics,
where price is determined by issue number.

Yup! There are many stores with Disney chracter names or imagery in
their names. Usually it's toy or children's clothing stores. Naming a
nut store after Super Goofy sounds very original!
Incidentally, I don't think that this is done with a license from
Disney. I wonder how they manage to get away with this.

Make that Santorini. Although the results of the explosion were most
certainly felt in Crete, it was probably the destruction of its fleet by
the tsunami, that ended Crete's supremacy in the Aegean. On the other
hand, Santorini literally sank under the waves, just like Atlantis is
supposed to have done.

>>I saw that both issues #8 and #15 are about Carpi, have they done more
artists twice?
Yes. The first 14 issues featured two complete "rounds" of seven artists:
Carpi, Murry, Bottaro, Cavazzano, Gottfredson, Massimo De Vita, Scarpa (in
that order). In the third round, started with #15, Murry has been cancelled
(alas!), and Pier Lorenzo De Vita will make his appearance with #17 (due
next September).
That's it, as far as the past is concerned... As for the future, maybe Luca
Boschi can tell us something more...
By the way, you can find a complete (up to #15) index of "I Maestri Disney"
in the current Inducks, at
http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/bolderbast/xxit.html
just click on it-DR.issues (Harry, maybe the description of the various
"Other" files in that page needs to be updated... there's more in there than
meets the eye!)

>> I found some old issues of "I Maestri Disney" and I was wondering if Carl
Barks and/or Don Rosa have already been featured in this series.
Nope. "Zio Paperone" is the Barks-and-Rosa territory in Italian Disney
comics.

I guess Disney people never go to Mykonos...

My (paper) guide offered both possibilities.
