Hi listeners
Subscribing to danish duck comics is a fun subject.
It's been possible for many years to get the weekly delivered by the
mailman to your door. There was even an ad where you saw Donald himself
delivering it. I don't know for precisely how many years, maybe someone
here can enlighten me?

Before subscribing was invented with the weekly I know that all
bookstores would offer to put aside the weekly untill you fetched it.
Our local one still does that.
And you will have to have that done still today with the Pocketbooks
and the extra, cause you cannot subscribe to them. That's too bad, and
strange, as it's been possible in Germany and France for as long as my
issues go back (1992... ahem)

I've been subscribing to the weekly since 1993 and I got a gift for
becoming that. An album and a collecting map. (Which destroys the
weeklies a bit, so I don't use that for them anymore...). I think i
started to subscribe because I wanted to make sure that I got every
issue - Don's Lo$ was being published at that time.

Subscribing to the books the danes publish is a money saver. The rumour
has it that the goldbook with Barks-stories is available in two
versions. A subscribers-edition with a year on the spine and a
sold-in-stores-edition with the issues number on the spine. The
Goldbook costs 225 kroner now, but someone in Copenhagen told me in
november that the subscribers edition was 25 or 50 kroner cheaper. I
never found out though, we only made it to visit our friend David
(S?ren, Ole and I), the Publisher was closed when we got to think of
going downstairs...

The yearbook is a case too. I started subscribing right from the
beginning, before many others I think, because I wrote that article for
the 50-year jubilee in march, but the first book was delayed, and
reached the stores before the subscribers (the yearbook.club), because
they were surpirsed by the great wanting of the subscribers edition.
It's 50 kroner cheaper and has a special cover only for members to see
(so nyah!). The book send out in september was out two weeks before it
hit the stores.
But... Now were in the middle of march and I haven't got my issue yet
(It contains reprints of 1951), but it hasn't been seen in stores
either, has it?

Yesterday I saw a consumer's TV programe where they talked about
coupon-offers, and there's been one for this book where you got both
for 450 kroner or so (that's saving 150 kroner from the store-price!!).
the first 200 senders would get a DD-watch. This consumer's prgrame
didn't seem to see that note about 200 first persons... They claimed
that you could get the watch totally for free withourt having to buy
what they called crap... (1949 and 1950 wasn't crap-years... they
contained Barks-10-pagers almost every month!!). For once I'm on the
publishers side. They have the right to say no to people who will try
to get that watch for free.

Lately It became possible to subscribe to the danish Paperinik-comic.
The price for non-subscribers now how to pay 5 kroner more than before,
and subscribers don't. That's the only thing we subscribers get.
In october last year a new magazine with Disney's Princesses came out,
and already now it's possible to subscribe, and there's some saving of
money there too.

As everyone knows, there were a number of Daisy Duck Diary stories written
and drawn by Barks, so where have they gone?

As Fran?ois wrote, we currently list stories in 2 ways in Inducks. But
that's one of the things we are working on.

I'm not sure if Arie actually meant *all* Diary stories, or just the ones
that Barks drew. There are a *lot* of Diary stories that were not marked as
such, because they are sometimes presented as a "Daisy" story, and sometimes
as "Daisy's Diary". For instance Dutch and Danish ones.

Anyway, again as Fran?ois wrote, for the USA Diary stories most writers are
unknown to us.

You'll find all other (including Western) Daisy Duck's Diary" looking
for "DAD" in the hero field. The only listed American writer is Bob
Gregory. here are the story codes:

i meant the ones Barks drew. i guess the sole writer is Bob and the Italian
ones' were drawn by other artists???

Thanks for everybody's quick response
Arie Fachrisal:-)

Finally, since the #337, Picsou Mag staff
have decided to continue to print the
C.Barks' one page stories series and
some stories rarely printed (in France).
So, since two issues i feel fine with PM :-)

Here's a short description of the last Picsou
Magazine :
-Don Rosa pin-up #23 "only a poor old man"
-Uncle Scrooge #1 cover repro (not a facsimile)
-W OS 386-02 C.Barks' "Only a poor old man"
-W WDC 224-01 C.Barks' "The Beachcombers' Picnic" *
-W US 23-05 C.Barks' "The Fabulous Tycoon" *
-W US 24-04 C.Barks' "The Magic Ink" *
-W US 26-04 C.Barks' "Return To Pizen Bluff" *
-W WDC 243-01 C.Barks' "Turkey Trouble" *
-W WDC 251-01 C.Barks' "Duck Luck" *

Four C.Barks' one page stories
Six Taliaferro's 1939 daily strips.
And at last...
A big poster (75x55cm) with
Don Rosa's Duck Family tree on one side
and 16 Don Rosa's pin-up on the other side.

Clearly, a luxurious issue of PM.

--------
March is not sparing of good surprises.
I've had the pleasure to read a veeeeery
goooood story of MM in Mickey Parade,

I TL 2283 "L'ombre du dragon"
which is drawn by Paolo Mottura and
scripted by Tito Faraci.

The art is very inventive and the story
is a bit different because Pete is friend
with Mickey and they join together to
fight against a tyrant.
A last thing - the action is happening
in medieval Japan.

MARCO :
Isn't it the same story you were talking about in January ?
