Dear friends, I did not read my mail for 3 days because of my exam in Holy
Scriptures 2: Ancient Testament. I have got a 28/30, and I am not very happy.
Any way I would like to share a my little knowledge with you. I hope not to
appear pretentious.
A preamble: Genesis 1-10 (in a few words) was written by members of a
Priest Theological School who collected tales of the mesopotanian area and
of Israel tradion (oral and, maybe, written)
Kristian Pedersen <K.Pedersen at Oberthurcs.com> wrote

The Bible has got, at last, two *different* narration of Noah story mixed
togheter: one tells of one pair from each species and the other one tells
of seven pairs, male and female.
The pair cames from the mythes of god and goddes who gave birth to life, or
the mythes of the god of the heaven (male) who inseminate the goddes earth
(female) witt rain.
Seven is the perfect number, the number who means totality and beauty (you
can see the "Song of creation" in Genesis 1)

The problem of clean and unclean became whit the Priests ... so that I
think that the second narration is a Priest Narration while the first one
is taken from ancient mythes of the zone.
After Genesis 1:27 the pair has lost is mythical means to became a symbol
of totality: the man (male and female) were created the 7th day.
Than arrived the sin and so all the problem of clean and unclean. I'm
christian and so I believe Jesus resolved the problem of sin, and the
clean/unclean question (Act 10:9-16)
I am sorry, but I cannot write in english very well. If somebody would
likes a more scientific explanation I am pleased to go the library and to
find answers!

I'm sure that Don has probably thought about visiting every single place
in the world where his stories are popular. The trouble with this is
that the only way he can do so without getting broke is to either find
a fragment of Uncle Scrooge's ticket from "The Mines of King Solomon",
or be invited by the local publisher. Unfortunately, when another Greek
fan asked the Komix editors if they could invite Don to Greece, they
replied that this is "beyond their abilities". Presumably they believe
it would be too expensive.

sure other Barks stories were printed in MIKY MAOYS (the one with the

(all of which I have forgotten). What's interesting is that Barks stories
had not been completely unknown to Greece until 1966, when MIKY MAOYS
started being published. Before that, there was a series called "Gelio
kai Hara" (=laughter and joy), published by Atlantis publications, which
was something similar to the American four-color series. They printed
all kinds of stuff, like Little Lulu, Bugs Bunny, and, of course, Disney
comics. I vaguely remember reading an Uncle Scrooge (whose name had
been Hellenized as "Theios Skroutzis") that was in Barks' style. (No,
I can't possibly justify the claim that I can remember the style in

Don,
You recently mentioned that plans were afoot to raise awareness of
Carl Barks coinciding with his 100th birthday. My question is "Why
wait?" Let's start things going now while we know Mr. Barks is here to
appreciate them. I want him to live a long time, too, but I'd much
rather he be around to see this celebration than have it turn into a
posthumous one. (I apologize if this sound in any way morbid, but we
just lost Charles Schulz, George Burns barely made it passed his 100th,
and Bob Hope isn't doing well at all. None of us are guaranteed
tomorrow.)
A birthday marks the completion of a year, therefore Mr. Barks's
100th year has already begun. Let's strike while the iron is hot. If
Disney is going to be involved, they tend to celebrate things for at
least a year anyway. (WDW's 25th Anniversary was 15 months long.)
Food for thought.

I am sorry to hear about this. But do not lose hope. One thing Carl
has going for him in this situation is his age. I am not in the medical
profession in any way, but I'm pretty sure that most cancers are much
less aggressive in the old than the young. My great-grandmother had
leukemia for many years before passing away. My grandfather also had
prostate cancer for about 4 or 5 years, and it was not what killed him.
It is my wish to see Willard Scott wish Carl happy 100th next year. For
those not in USA, Willard is a morning television personality on one of
the national networks (he does the weather), and one of his trademarks
is wishing happy birthday to centenarians.

I think I can help w/ your questions.
The runs for Uncle Scrooge are:
1-39: Dell
41-173: Gold Key
174-209: Whitman
210-242 Gladstone (1st run)
243-280 Disney Comics
281-318 Gladstone (2nd run) 309-318 prestige format
Uncle Scrooge Adventures ran for 55 issues. 1-21 were during Gladstone's
first run, all the others were in the second.
Donald Duck:
FC 4 (1)-84: Dell Publishing
85-216: Gold Key
217-245: Whitman
246-279: Gladstone (1st run)
280-304: Gladstone (2nd run)
There were 2 different series of books called "Donald Duck Adventures".
The first of these was started by Gladstone and ran for 20 issues until
the end of their first run. When Disney Comics began publishing the
books, the started the numbering over with 1. This title (referred to as
DDA series 2) lasted for 38 issues. When Gladstone begain publishing the
books again, they picked up their numbering from series one and published
issues 21-45. These issues are referred to as series 3.
WDC&S
1-263: Dell
264-473: Gold Key
474-510: Whitman
511-547 Gladstone (1st run)
548-585: Disney Comics
586-633: Gladstone (2nd run) 601-633 prestige format
To answer the question about Marvel US books, in the early days of
Gladstone's second run the books were distributed to newstands (i.e.
grocery stores, drug stores etc.) by Marvel, though the books were still
published by Gladstone. If you wanted to get your books w/ the Gladstone
logo, you had to go to a comic store, or subscribe. I'm not sure when
this ended, but I would say about a year after the practice started.
About the book runs: There are many more titles that existed. Some
famous (Mickey Mouse) some not so famous (grandma duck's farm friends).
I figured these would be the most helpful titles to you. It would take
hours to list the runs for every Disney title. I got this info from the
Overstreet Price Guide, which has little use to me as a price guide, but
is a very valuable reference source. It might be a good idea to pick up
one of those.

FC 4 (1)-84: Dell Publishing
85-216: Gold Key
217-245: Whitman
246-279: Gladstone (1st run)
280-304: Gladstone (2nd run)
There were 2 different series of books called "Donald Duck Adventures".
The first of these was started by Gladstone and ran for 20 issues until
the end of their first run. When Disney Comics began publishing the
books, the started the numbering over with 1. This title (referred to as
DDA series 2) lasted for 38 issues. When Gladstone begain publishing the
books again, they picked up their numbering from series one and published
issues 21-45. These issues are referred to as series 3.
WDC&S
1-263: Dell
264-473: Gold Key
474-510: Whitman
511-547 Gladstone (1st run)
548-585: Disney Comics
586-633: Gladstone (2nd run) 601-633 prestige format
To answer the question about Marvel US books, in the early days of
Gladstone's second run the books were distributed to newstands (i.e.
grocery stores, drug stores etc.) by Marvel, though the books were still
published by Gladstone. If you wanted to get your books w/ the Gladstone
logo, you had to go to a comic store, or subscribe. I'm not sure when
this ended, but I would say about a year after the practice started.
About the book runs: There are many more titles that existed. Some
famous (Mickey Mouse) some not so famous (grandma duck's farm friends).
I figured these would be the most helpful titles to you. It would take
hours to list the runs for every Disney title. I got this info from the
Overstreet Price Guide, which has little use to me as a price guide, but
is a very valuable reference source. It might be a good idea to pick up
one of those.

The Carl Barks "Disney Legend" documentary on the Disney Channnel

Regarding the Walt Disney Company's recognition of Carl Barks in his 100th
year: There has recently been a very nice short (approximately 2 and 1/2
minutes) on the Disney Channel in the "Disney Legends" series (which honors
such luminaries as Ub Iwerks) describing fairly precisely and with great
enthusiasm Carl's career as the comic book "Duck Man." It's an all too brief
but fitting tribute. Carl has seen it and is pleased with it. It's
definitely worth looking for. (I don't believe that the existence of this
short documentary on Carl's work has been noted on this Disney Comics list
before, but I apologize if it has.)

I've finished uploading the History of Computers. You can read it at

It's the original brazilian version, but if you understand spanish I think
you'll be able to figure out everything.
Enjoy it.
