Hi
The weekly came to my mail box today. The thrid part seems to be nicer
done than the first part, and the second part looked worst. In our
weekly that is. Don has nothing to do with them.
The third part is very nice, and there's 3 of the promissed notes at
the bottom of the page.
They tell that the music Louhi is playing on page 1 of part 3 is from
Wagners The Valcurie. They state that Don used this music-example
before... it wouldnøt surprise you that they didn't tell what story? I
thought so! It's beginning to seem so typical that they don't refer.
The man on page 5 of the part refers calls the Iku-Turso the
next-biggest frog, and there's a note about CK. That's the first time
ever I heard about one of Don's pre-disney-comic in the weekly.
Ribit!
What's happening on that page 30? Is Vainamoinen offering $crooge to go
with him to relive the days of the Gold Rush??
As they didn't use any special font in the danish translation you're
not actually able to see who the old guy in the last panel is. But if
you read what he says, it's quite obvious. He talks about collecting
the Sampo in a wayn that no modern dane would speak. And Vainamoine
speaks the same way

Sounds nice, but it wouldn't have been very recognisable to a foreigner
who could only read the letters...

and this finnish version too then. So are those extra-pages made as
rows of panels
like in the 19-page version of chapter 12 of Lo$? or are they full
pages?

Well, I couldn't think up another way to say it. cause now when I know
it, I see that I wouldn't have known who they were. except for that
Beagle Boy.

Gottfredsons complete MM dailys, again

WUNDERWURM, STEAMBOAT WILLIE, PER-ERIK and HARRY
Thanks a lot for all the useful info on the published sets with
Gottfredsons MM dailys. It sure cleared up a lot of things for me (and
others too, probably). But as usual: the more info you get; the more
questions you can ask... ;-)
As I get it, there are *two* main editions. One printed by "Comic Book Club
Germany" (CBCG) and one by Nichols (I assume this Nichols is John Nichols
of Bear Mountain Ent. ?). The Nichols edition should be printed as 200 hard
bound sets. This much I get!
The German edition I am still a bit uncertain about. Are we talking 500
copies of *each* of the 26 yearly collections (books/slipcases) or does
this number vary over the years (as it did with AR's Barks Library b&w,
where the print runs on the later issued sets in general are smaller than
for the early ones).
Also on the German edition; this variation between books and slipcases
(Portfolio), does this occur *within* the same year? I mean would it be
possible to collect a full set consisting of *either* loose pages *or*
bound books? This also leads me to ask if the total number for the CBCG
edition is really 500 (Portfolio) + 300 (books) = 800 ??? (Not to confuse
things further I neglect the number of only 20 copies of the books...)
About the contents: Is it strictly just the dailys or are there other stuff
in there as well like articles, interviews, additional art or pictures? I
understand that the prints are done from newspaper prints, not original
stats? Are these editions really boot-leg or did they have Disney's
blessing when they were done? It sounds a bit strange that collectors would
not make an effort to achieve the best quality when doing such a massive
and expensive collection.

Yes, it was Nichols version I saw. 200 numbered and harbound copies.

Strictly dailies. Nothing much else what I could see.

They had Disney's blessing when they were done. The CB portfolio
were discontinued when Another Rainbow aquired the rights and did CBL.
Also, the MM portfolio also had to be discontinued.
I know Horst Schröder had to stop selling most of his copies.
I presume the unsold copies are still somewhere in the Basement of
Epix Verlag in Stockholm, but noone really knows but Horst.
Epix can not sell these copies. That much I know.
> It sounds a bit strange that collectors would

Actually, they *did*. Most of these early dailys are rare or
disappeared almost completely.
Horst Schröder found a swiss collector who had found all these
strips in some, I think it was an Italian, archive. He bought
the strips from this collector and lent them to Nichols.. at
least, so I am told. I wasn't present at the time.
All strip-collections I have seen originates from that Swiss batch.
The originals are either buried in som U.S. archive or, more propably,
burned... Most strips, and many other comic-originals were burned a year
or two from the publishing date. Lack of storage-space I think.
I just wish I could get my hands on a portfolio for myself someday... ;-)

Do you mean the sigma, i.e., the third letter in the greek version of
Don's name, which looks a bit like "Pooa"?

Hellenizing one's name does not simply mean to make up a greek version
of it; it also means *adopting* it! Thus, if Don hellenized his name,
people of the future, reading old archives of this list, would have a
hard time figuring out who was that "Don Rosa" guy, to whom every one
kept referring! :-)

What a great comment to the event last month. In the dansih one he's

stuff by not asking about the intentions of the writer, and somehow (was

I don't know what the Danish translation says or if the translator

telling $crooge that they have a lot in common with their love of a

Kalevala with the Sampo and be wealthy for all eternity, and thereby lose

the Klondike days with him. Izzat what it sez in Danish???
Speaking of misinterpretations in that section, the only bit of screwy
coloring comes in the last panel of the next page where I show a close-up
of a Sampo-snowflake. The colorists don't seem to ever read the stories and
rely strictly on coloring-notes, and I can't always think of all the
different ways that the drawings can be misunderstood by someone not

When/if HMC decides to do an English version of this story, those extra
pages may not have been done yet. And as to whether HMC *does* do an
English version, they have an idea how, but I have my doubts they can get
away with it. They will run afoul of the Disney Company who insists that
each separate language requires an entirely separate license, which HMC
does not have. As I said, HMC has a plan around this and to make this still
part of their license. But whether they have a legitimate method to do that
won't matter when they are dealing with a corporation which will say "Oh,
yeah? Well, just the same, DON'T DO IT, see?". But I wish them luck.

When/if HMC decides to do an English version of this story, those extra
pages may not have been done yet. And as to whether HMC *does* do an
English version, they have an idea how, but I have my doubts they can get
away with it. They will run afoul of the Disney Company who insists that
each separate language requires an entirely separate license, which HMC
does not have. As I said, HMC has a plan around this and to make this still
part of their license. But whether they have a legitimate method to do that
won't matter when they are dealing with a corporation which will say "Oh,
yeah? Well, just the same, DON'T DO IT, see?". But I wish them luck.

Hello,
I just read the last message from "wunderwurm", announcing his
scans from the story "MM on a secret mission" by coincidence I
just scanned the same story (as told few days ago), and I
uploaded it on
http://members.xoom.it/_XOOM/inducks/appo/MMscans/
You can also reach it following the link from
http://members.xoom.it/inducks
it is complete, but it is in Italian, taken from the weekly
supplement to "Il Messaggero".... a very interesting publication,
IMO.
Ciao,
- Paolo

Mickey Mouse daily strips

Dear Diseny fans:
I have followed the discussion of the reproduction of the Gottfredson
Mickey Mouse strips with sdome interest. I'm the one who collected the
strips and had Byron Erickson reroduce them in Arizona. The collection did
not include film material but consisted of proof sheets from Mickey artist
Bill Wright and Horst Scroeder who supplied them for the years of 1946 to
1955. I supplied the Mickey fan card that Gottfredson drew and was given
to fans in 1931.
In addition to the proof sheets Bill Blackbeard of the San Francisco
Academy of Comic Art supplied some dialiy strips that were missing. Other
early daily strips came from a collection I had obtained elsewhere. In all
we produced 20 sets of the Mickey dailies.
Byron Erickson's chronology and list of sources for the Mickey Mouse daily
strips in the Mickey in Color book also patly came from me. I worked on
the book with Bruce Hamilton and Geoffrey Blum. At the time Geoff and I
were editors of the Carl Barks Library. I hope that this note clarifies
the events surrounding the Gottfredson books. It was always a dream of
mine to see these collected in some form and Floyd was also quite pleased
to see the effort that we had taken in preserving them for posterity.
