This weeks in the shops in Holland: "Een vrolijke kerst met Donald Duck".
This Christmas special appears once a year, and usually contains reprints
only. To my surprise, this year's issue contains an Italian story not
published before in my country:
"Topolino e le delizie natalizie" from Martina/Scarpa, originally from Albi
d'Oro 51, 1954. Quite enjoyable, actually. This story alone is worth buying
the special (the rest of the issue is Egmont material and reprints).
They took the French version, apparently (from Journal de Mickey 2375). All
the changes that are reported in Francois Willot's French index, are also in
this Dutch reprint. Interesting to read that the story was one of Scarpa's
first Mickey stories, and that it was reprinted in Italy quite recently in
Maestri Disney #7.
This was a nice extra surprise, while waiting for the new Oom Dagobert album
with all-Rosa stories (announced for this week)...

Hello everybody!
Why are we discussing the love lives of the Duck family, or any Disney
characters for that matter, on this site? The answer to all of your
questions... they have none. Love life that is. Well at least not beyond a
mere smooch now and then. Aren't we getting a little too serious, folks,
when we start pondering the unmentionables of the denizens of Mouseton,
Duckburg, etc.? Anyone who has written a story with anything more than this
ought to think twice next time. I hope I do not offend anyone in making
these remarks, but "for crying out loud" it is funny animal books that we
read, not superhero comics. And not just any funny animal books, but Disney
comics. I'm sure Walt is rolling in his grave right now and laughing his
kiester off, too. I apologize for my rambling, but this was too funny a
subject for me. I had to write.
Sincerely,
Arthur S Bowman

As a new digest reader, I don't know if this has been discussed.
When reading through Don Rosa's excelent "Battle of Sampo" story, I noticed,
in the first chapter, than Donald digs Scrooge's "walking stick" (that blue
"stick" Scrooge keeps hitting Donald with) down into the gold.
Four "images" later, Scrooge does have his stick again. How did he find it?
No reference to how he found it whatsoever.

Were these stories untitled in the WDC issues? (the title perhaps being

Super Duck first started in Jolly Jingles Comics from 1943-1944
his own title ran from 1944-1960. His nephew, Fauntleroy had his own comic
annual in 1950 - 1952.
he started out as a superhero comic - I have seen these covers, but even the
middle 1940s comics I have, he is not a superhero!
I have seen no swipes of Donald, and until you mentioned it, never even
thought of him as a Donald-type. But that bad temper of is does seem like
the cartoon Donald, doesn't it?
Following creators are known:
Al Fagaly (writer?/ artist) c44-52- (maybe up to c56)
Dave Higgins (inks?) c43-c44
Jack Mendolsohn (writer) c48-c49
Dexter Taylor (writer/artist) 1957

contains all the Italian editions and the first foreign editions.
I have recorded only the first French, German, Danish, Swedish and Dutch

The collaborators obviously will be cited in every edition of this index.
A salute to all.
P.S. I try however contacts with all the persons who love the job of Bottaro.

As stated by Martin Olsen, the story in WDC 280 was titled "Double
Masquerade". Starting from WDC 229, all Barks 10-pagers had a title.
In addition there were titles for the stories in WDC 36 and 38 through 46.
Apart from those issues, all the 10-pagers were untitled. Hence, the story
from WDC 88 were untitled. This story marks Gladstone Gander's debut, and
also the longest beaks ever drawn by Barks (or anyone else in the Disney
duck business I guess).

Ah, yes, thank you! A little six-pager about a failing fast food
stand. This one was fun to create on a number of levels. We got to
show Scrooge facing adversity, rising to the challenge and even
converting potential adversaries into supporters. "Just one person
with a bit of grit and savvy can change things for everyone for
the better!"
I like doing these little pieces that rise from character. It's
tough to tell a full story in only six pages, so if others like
the result, it's that much more sweet.

A couple of Gottfredson questions, US 179 and Barks health?...
Message 164 -
1999-12-13 at 11:42:26
Hi Guys,
I'm de-lurking for a moment to ask you guys a few questions....
In the mid-70s it seems that the complete Mickey Mouse dailies (1930-1955)
was printed in Germany. Does anyone know how many truckloads of money is
takes to buy such an interesting collection (if a set can be found, that
is..) ?
At 313 in Germany I just bought an auction catalogue from 1996, re-printing
the complete 24 paintings/watercolors Gottfredson did (recommended if you
like old Mickeys!). I looked up Gottfredson in my encyclopaedia on comic
book artists. Here, to my surprise, it said that *another* book containing
these paintings were published by Another Rainbow in 1984. Is this true???
I also saw that the Vf/Nm US 179 on ebay sold for $1275.00! Heck, I know
it's not seen all that often but....
Just a thought: Ebay selling prices on Disney's are often about 50 - 70% of
Overstreet. That could mean that the next edition would list US #179 at
about $2K in NM !!! Isn't that about the same as some of the rare Barks
giwaways from the 40's ??? I just don't believe it ! I mean, when did you
last time see one of *these* in Vf/Nm ??
But to look on the bright side I think such a fantastic price on a 1980's
comic book creates some publicity about Disney Ducks. Maybe it can attract
a few more readers to the (hopefully) soon-to-be-continued line of Disney
magazines.
MICHAEL NAIMAN:
You asked how many on this list owned a copy of US #179. What was the
outcome? To compare it might also be interesting to know how many had, say,
#178. I mean are we interested in collecting the Whitman Scrooges at all?
I think it is about 3 months ago I read on 313's homepage that Barks had
lymph cancer. Does anyone (GARY TANK, MICHAEL NAIMAN, Others?) know how
Barks' condition is??? It sure would be a swell x-mas present to know that
old Carl is OK.

I think what they do is, ask an american how it's pronounced and spell
it in greek so it sounds like that. Also they are very serious so they
don't write Freddy Milton, even though that is what i think he was
born.
They then have a problem with the name Don Rosa. which i never
understood, not even when they explained it to me...
They spell it Nt (D) - o - v (n) R-o-sigma-a - I think. the sigma is
the o with a small line with it, when the letter is small. The greek
fans think they should spell it with a zeta, the strong s, which would
make it sound as we pronounce it. The editors said that they couldn't
change it now, and anyway rosa is a girl's name. they couldn't call Don
a girl's name... I tried to explain that both the girls name and Don's
last name would come from the name of the flower Rose!
They unbderstood that, but if they would have to call Don that it
wouldn't be Rosa but the greek translation of the word Rose (Kriton,
what is that word?).
We (That is, me and dennis) also mentioned that we had talked about the
day before, with kriton and panos, about Don visitting Greece. But the
editors said not now, and probably some reason.

Well, I could only read his name, not what it said he did... I just
thought there are two names and he probably did that.

Well, as I had the issue, I wanted to do it. BTW: Do you get the
publications
of a story like that, or do you need help from readers to get it?

I heard from a family-member of Carl that he had cancer, and that he
was well now.

I think he is, but I haven't heard from the family member for some
months.

I think what they do is, ask an american how it's pronounced and spell
it in greek so it sounds like that. Also they are very serious so they
don't write Freddy Milton, even though that is what i think he was
born.
