The above link comes up with a page called "STUDYING THE MASTER VOL I"
with a subtitle CARL BARKS. It then shows some illustrations of Donald Duck which have no resemblance to any of the Ducks that I've seen that were drawn by Mr. Barks. I printed out the illustrations and showed them to Mr. Barks. This then will verify that these illustrations were never drawn by Mr. Barks and have no resemblance to his art. I know not where the originators of this page got the gaul to represent these as his work.

Right. The third illustration seems to be directly copied from a cover of
one of the German albums "Abenteuer aus Onkel Dagoberts Schatztruhe" -
probably drawn by Miguel Pujol.
I have no idea either what's the use of putting 4 random illustrations on
the Web and adding the name Carl Barks to that. The only reason I can think
of is that the artist who traced these panels ("PoC") really thought they
were made by Barks...
BTW, one of the other illustrations on that website is called "Tank Girl".
Any relative of yours? 8-)

Apologies for the cross-posting
Quite a few people helped out on the wordless bibliography of comics and
cartoons that I was working on earlier this year. Thanks to Glenn Carnegy,
a recent version is online at
http://www.wraithspace.com/Bibliographies/HTML/Rhode/rhode_wordless.html
I'm keeping the list continually updated and the current copy can be had by
emailing me.
Also new at the site is a bibliography of National Public Radio stories on
comics, many of which can be listened to for free at their website. See
http://www.wraithspace.com/Bibliographies/HTML/Rhode/rhode_nprA.html

Barks on stamps
Message 139 -

I imagine it's still available somewhere as Guyana "publishes" these to
raise money, not to mail w/. The company that had the Disney stamps license
lost it and the story seems somewhat similar to the comics license. See
http://www.linns.com/print/archives/19990531/news1.asp for the story; a
followup at http://www.linns.com/print/archives/19991129/news2.asp implies
that a supply still exists. Unlike in comics, unauthorized stamps are
appearing - see http://www.disnemation.cjb.net/ about 3/4 of the way down
the page. Also on this site is a under "stories" is an explanation of more
Carl Barks on stamps - for Donald's 50th birthday, WDC&S and DD covers were
reproduced.
See http://www.stampsites.com/ for a search engine to find a dealer near you
although they're probably still available from IGPC.

Here's what's in the May issue of Comics:
* A cover by William Van Horn. There will be some delay in making a scan
available, as it is Greek Easter around here, and I won't be at work
before Wednesday.
* A two+ page article titled "Return to the Land of the Pygmy Indians",
subtitled "The Classic Barks Tale and Rosa's Ecological Fable".
* A one-page article titled "99 Carat Birthday", subtitled "Carl Barks
is 99 years old"!
* Don Rosa's "War of the Wendigo". (This not an April--or May--fools'
joke!)
* A one-page article titled "Uncle Scrooge and the Environment", subtitled
"A Croesus respecting the flora".
* Carl Barks' "Fearsome Flowers" from WDC&S #214.
* A one+ page article titled "Donald's Garden", subtitled "A Strange
Ecosystem in the Heart of Duckburg".
* A two+ page article titled "Toy Story 2", subtitled "A great movie for
chidren that will grow up one day".
* "Money to Burn" (D92368) written by John Kane (sp?) and drawn by Vicar.
Don will be pleased to hear of the Easter present that the translator
of the story gave him: in the Greek translation, the Peeweegahs speak
in fifteen-syllable meter, i.e., the kind of meter used in Greek folk
songs. I once thought that this would be the way that the story should
be translated, but given the difficulty of the task, I never expected
that the Komix translator would actually do it!
Given the wordiness of the Greek language, it would have been too much
to expect to have each verse appear on a separate line. However, as I
had no trouble figuring out the folk song rhythm (Komix never mentions
anything about fifteen-syllable meter), and that the alternative would
have been to enlarge the balloons, destroying some of the art, I think
that in Komix's case this was the right thing to do.
A question to native English speakers: how distracting is the Peeweegah's
talking in rhythm? When reading the Greek translation, I found myself
reading the Peeweegahs' words by stressing the familiar rhythm, paying
more attention to how they were saying things rather than what they
were saying.

Some clarification: Diamond Comics Distributors, Inc. is a
distribution company that owns Gemstone, a comics publisher. Diamond
is the company engaged in a comics license negotiation with Disney,
and both parties have been engaged in said negotiations for the past
sixteen months.
Disney's take from comics is not based on sales, but on a guarantee
agreed to by Disney and the publisher at the time of the signing of a
license. This guarantee might be based on royalty calculations
through the full execution of the license, i.e. x-number of issues of
x-size of print runs distributed during x-number of years, or it
might be whatever the publisher wants to offer or Disney asks to
receive irrespective of such calculations. In any case, Disney's
known for nearly a decade that the only thing they can realistically
realize from comics is that guarantee, and all they really want to
know is what sort of guarantee a publisher is willing to enter into,
and under what terms. If Disney gets satisfaction, then they
basically go home and the license runs its course.
(I know this sounds contradictory in the face of all the
"micromanagement" reports involving Disney, but what I'm pointing to
here is the bottom line in Disney issuing a license, not managing it.)

Hi, I'm a first time reciever of the DCML and first-time poster. I'm a represenative of The Long Box (http://www.longbox.com), a comics database website that's goal is to database all comics ever created. I am taking a special interest in Disney comics. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me on any Disney Series we are missing. Here are the ones we already have logged:
Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers Vol. 1
Darkwing Duck Vol. 1
The Disney Afternoon Vol. 1
Disney's Aladdin Vol. 1
Disney's Beauty & The Beast Vol. 1
Disney's Comic Hits Vol. 1
Disney's The Lion King Vol. 1
Disney's The Little Mermaid Vol. 1
Disney's The Little Mermaid Limited Series
Disney's Pocahontas Vol. 1
Disney's The Three Musketeers Vol. 1
Mickey Mouse Adventures Vol. 1
Walt Disney's Comics and Stories Vol. 1
We only have most of the Marvel Comics. What I'm looking for is the series complete name, the year it started publishing(not required, but wanted), the publisher and numbers of issues. Here's a hook, when the series changes publishers, I need the exact number and what number it went to until it changed publishers again. This would really help us out along with Disney Comics' publicity. Thank you very much for the opportunity to post.

HI EVERYONE,
I don't often come out of the shadows to say something, but when I
saw these, supposed Barks' drawings, I felt I needed to. Aside from the fact
that they are definitely not by Carl Barks, these drawings are quite
wonderful! What does anyone else think? BTW, does anyone know who this
artist is? And where could I find their work? Thanks in advance, for your
help. And I hope everything is just "ducky" with you all.

Have you noticed some missing words in our describing comics?
In american we talk about comics books. That would actually be quite
selfcontradicting in my lanu?guage cause comics and books are different
things...
In my language then, we say tegneserie, meaning drawn serie. when we
have to differ between magazines and albums, we have to say those after
the word.
In french the word BD means drawn albums, or something around that.
When they put the comics in magazines they just put the short, to maybe
cover that it isn't an album.
Languages are a strange and funny thing.
