I have to admit that while I find the above statement "puzzling", it
nevertheless re-confirms my belief that everything in life in *RELATIVE*!
And I'm explaining myself: Søren seems to be dumbfounded and can't
understand how on earth a comic that prints mostly Barks, Rosa, and Scarpa
re-re-(whatever)-prints can qualify as one of the best Disney comic books in
the world. I guess that he didn't pay much attention to the tiny detail that
KOMIX is published in Greece and in Greek--hence, its target market is the
Greek population--not Scandinavia, not Germany, not France,.... In this
Greek population, most of these stories are seen for the *first* time, even
if some of them were published is lesser quality mags many years ago. But
how can I have the audacity to ask from KOMIX that they don't print Barks,
Rosa, or Scarpa, simply because *I* have happened to see these stories in
other publications, when 99% of the Greek readers of KOMIX are seeing them
for the first time?
KOMIX may not have something new for Søren--or for many other people, who,
for example, may get to read the original Rosa stories in Egmont's
publications, or who had the chance to read Barks in the original in
Gladstone's reprints. However, it offers many new things to its Greek
readership, and it does it in an exceptional way.
(Note: Someone could make similar observations for the Italian "ZIO
PAPERONE", which also features re-prints in its entirety--for many people ZP
ranks amongst the top 1-2 comics books in the world. First appearance of a
story is but one criterion in judging a comic's overall quality).

You weren't contacted by the danes then? Well, as a dane (and the one

danish Serieforlaget,

they made the mistake, cause I bet Don wrote many places that it was

I'm not sure about this, I don't know what the rune-o-meter is. but of
course it will always be translatings. I really do hope that they used
the newest authorized and unabriged

They could have done it as smart as in the finnish book (thanks, Janne)

It's sad if Serieforlaget ruined something here... they are also the

Let's put it this way: if you could read any language fluently, and
you were *forced* to read one of those re-re-re-prints, which comic
book would you chose? If you wanted to own the best edition of one
of said re-re-re-prints in a language that you cannot read, which one
would you chose? Chances are that the answer to both questions would
be KOMIX. [Note, however, that in Greece it is the Scarpa and the other
italian stories that are actually the re-re-re-prints (or just re-prints).
Most of the Barks and Rosa stuff (especially the latter) are published
for the first time.]
Although I share your sentiments about KOMIX offering little to someone
who owns a full run of Gladstone's output, I am amazed that many readers
of the list are aware of KOMIX, and even own an issue or two.

Komix also publishes articles, which were sometimes taken from Gladstone
comics or articles on the Internet.
In Europe, "Zio Paperone" is one of the few Disney publications that
print artciles on Disney comics, and (off and on) "Picsou Magazine".
"I Maestri Disney" was a very good title for Disney comics fans, but it
has stopped publication.
Occasionally, one of these three titles publish special issues with many
texts and interesting illustrations. A very good Picsou issue is #269,
with interesting articles on Donald's origins, Taliaferro and others. I
have a special Komix issue which is also very good, with articles on
Massimo De Vita, Scarpa and other Italian artists.
"Zio Paperone" now publishes articles on American artists and writers--
most of them with very rare photos and drawings.
Many of the stories are not new, except new Danish stories by Rota, Van
Horn and others, or new Rosa stories, but most of the Barks stories in
"Picsou" were published in France long ago with a bad translation, and
most of the times, not in their original format. The Greek reprints in
Komix and Italian ones in Zio Paperone must be very good ones too.

So KOMIX is
1) For the Greek population and written in Greek.
2) Contains Barks re-re... which the rest of Europe has seen ad nauseam.
What exactly makes it so exquisite then? (except from the articles and
the glossy paper) If a comic is supposed to have an over-all interest to
the world, it should appeal to as many as possible, but your KOMIX
doesn't, and it was never intended to do so. Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps
the rest of Europe loves to read Barks' stories in Greek--in that case I
apologize.
Never mind, the two KOMIX I have are stuffed with stories I've seen

most of Europe wouldn't need to have American issues to know about those
re-re's of Barks (and others). I am not speaking of a little group of
hard core collectors here who simply has everything. Nope. Egmont has
been reprinted those Barks stories for years in many countries and I

I don't have the Danish version, but in the Swedish version, the
rune-o-meter is used, and the rune-o-meter is written in a special font. The
translator has done a very well work translating the story. It seems to be
very good, but I haven't read the whole story yet (the issue containing the
last part has not been published yet), so I don't know about this particular
panel you mentioned. The last part will be published next Friday in Sweden.
Is it true that a page is missing from the book, or was it just something
you invented? The only bad thing is the colouring of the story. Why can't
Egmont do as good colouring as the French publishers?

>really is who is speaking?
I don't have the Danish version, but in the Swedish version, the
rune-o-meter is used, and the rune-o-meter is written in a special font. The
translator has done a very well work translating the story. It seems to be
very good, but I haven't read the whole story yet (the issue containing the
last part has not been published yet), so I don't know about this particular
panel you mentioned. The last part will be published next Friday in Sweden.
Is it true that a page is missing from the book, or was it just something
you invented? The only bad thing is the colouring of the story. Why can't
Egmont do as good colouring as the French publishers?

Disney comics in Japanese?

Does anybody know whether there exist any Japanese editions of Disney
comics? I'm not interested in whether they have a local production (I'm
pretty sure they don't), just in whether any comics with reprints of
western (US or European) stories exist, with the balloons lettered in Japanese.
