To Armando, Rodney, Elena & Everyone Else:
Hi! It's been a long time since I posted anything on this mailing list. In
regard to the questions and comments about "Somewhere in Nowhere"...well,
yes, the story is going to be published at long last. Disney Italia will be
distributing it in a hardback book in early November. (I believe the
publisher is hoping to have some copies to show around at the Frankfurt Book
Fair prior to that.) If it's going to be in both English and Italian then my
guess is that its the same format that was used when Disney Italia published
Barks' "Horsing Around With History." I don't have a copy of that book, but
if I remember correctly that book printed each page of "Horsing" in color in
Italian and then on the opposite page the same part of the story was printed
in English in black and white.
(If I'm wrong about this format then someone please correct me.)
Sometime later (possibly March of next year), "Somewhere" will be reprinted
in the "Zio Paperone" magazine with some extra background material.
I really don't know much more about it than that.
It's been over two years since I first learned that Disney Italia had
purchased "Somewhere." In the past, Disney Italia had asked me not to say
anything about this to fans. Why? Well, I was told that Disney Italia didn't
know when it was going to be publishing the story. Fearing that fans would
overwhelm Disney Italia with questions, the editor wanted to keep things
quiet.
I agreed not to talk about it as a courtesy to Disney Italia. I have to
admit, though, that I had no idea it would take this long to be published.
When questions about the story surface on this mailing list, I e-mailed the
editor. I curious myself as to what was going on. The editor promised to get
back to me shortly. Several months passed. Recently a different person at
Disney contacted me and I learned that project is going ahead.
This thing has been hush hush for so long that I'm not really sure what I can
or want to say about it. I'd feel a lot more comfortable talking about this
if Disney Italia had made a formal announcement about the publication.
I also have very mixed feelings about this story. I know there are a lot of
rumors about "Somewhere." I'm not going to go into detail here. I've already
given Disney Italia a great deal of information about the story's creation
and some of that will appear when the story is printed.
I do, however, want to chip away at a couple of rumors. Carl Barks'
involvement in the story was somewhat less than was announced by the managers
of his former studio. At the same time I must point out that rumors that Carl
wasn't involved in the story at all are equally untrue. The original idea for
the story came from Carl. During the time that the story was fleshed out more
fully Carl made a number of suggestions. Later on, he also contributed some
additional gags.
I think it's probably best if I don't go into detail about any of this until
after "Somewhere" is published. I think people should be less concerned with
the politics of the story's creation and more interested in the story itself.
On another subject, I'm really busy right now getting ready for Comic Con
Internation in San Diego next week. I'm going to be sharing a table in
Artist's Alley with fellow Disney creator Michael T. Gilbert (space F-4.) I
may also be at the Comics Buyer's Guide table some of the time. I don't know
how much I'll be at either table. (There's so much to see and do at that con
that it'll be hard to sit still.) Anyway, those of you who are going to the
con, please drop by and say "Hi!"

I will be there (my first time). Other years there was some kind of a
"mailing list breakfast". Are there any plans for that? (Anyone?)
BTW, any other Europeans going there?

I don't know if Egmont or Disney Italy or anyone is actually
prohibited in any licensing terms from doing any kind of regular
English-language Disney comics publication as such, but they do have
to consider what kind of market they'd have for them since none of
them have licenses granting them access to retail distribution of
English-language Disney comics in the USA and Canada (and perhaps
Australia and New Zealand as well). That license is still under
negotiation between Diamond and Disney, and if any other publisher
made what even appeared to be an attempt to enter those markets,
there would be royal hell to pay.
English-language readers deserve English-language Disney comics. But
as wonderful as it might be for some publisher to bite the bullet and
put out English-language comics without licensed access to the major
retail English-language markets, few publishers can afford to be that
wonderful.

Wundermilds Pages - Major Update

Hi all,
Finally, I've done a major update on my internet pages (featuring rare
Gottfredson pieces and comic book giveaway stories), you are kindly invited to
see by yourself:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Easel/4942/index.htm and
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Easel/4942/rare.htm
Design has been worked over extensively, picture directories were changed,
and quite some new images were added, for anyone interested in classic
Disney stories: For example, for people fond of
- Gottfredson: First 71 strips of the classic "Death Valley" episode (the
unmutilated original one, with 150 dpi scans!); also, the "Suicide" episode
has been re-scanned (150 dpi);
- Murry: Two stories added: One Donald Duck (the Inca Idol), one Brer
Rabbit (BR's Secret) story, both out of scarce Cheerios and Wheaties giveaways;
- Taliaferro (Hi, Favio): No story, but a collection of Wheaties comic
book back cover illustrations;
- other classic Donald Duck artists: A couple of more Cheerios Premium,
Wheaties, and Cheerios 3-D stories have been uploaded (art by Jack Hannah,
Frank McSavage, and Tony Strobl);
- (last, but not least) Barks (perhaps for Daniel): "Santa's Stormy Visit"
of the Firestone Giveaway 1946 is now available on the net (as is the
Mickey Mouse backup story, art by Don Gunn).
Thanks for all help and encouragement, especially to Klaus Harms, who
kindly provided scans to bridge some gaps.
A question to I.N.D.U.C.K.S. people (esp. Harry): The uploaded scans of
mine are planned to remain on the net permanently (as is a growing number of
Disney stories by other site maintainers, e.g. Favio's 1947 Taliaferro
Sundays); is there a possibility to set links to them from I.N.D.U.C.K.S. story
entries?
That's all Folks (for now, that is!)

Yes, I'll be in San Diego, as always, and as always never in any certain
spot as my mission at that one convention is as a private collector
cruising for old comic books. In fact, even if there is a "ML Breakfast", I
would not be there as I use my privileges to gain entry to the
dealers-pavilion when it opens to the dealers. The only place I *know* I
can be found is at the annual American Association of Comicbook Collectors
banquet -- this year, especially, since we celebrate the 50th anniversary
of EC Comics, the best comics of all time! There will be nearly all the
living EC writers and artists in attendance (I won't try to list them all),
as well as many special gifts for attendees... and an art auction to help
pay for the whole deal. There will be lots of great stuff in the auction
done by the EC artists, both 45-50 years ago and just recently for the
banquet. And there will be other art from EC-fan "youngster" artists like
me to add to the fund. I contributed four large fake-covers based on the
premise of "What if EC Comics had the Disney license instead of Dell?"...
my covers include WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND SUSPENSTORIES, TALES FROM THE
BIN, WEIRD INVENTIONS and WEB-FOOTED TALES. The EC fans among you will be
able to guess what each is a combination/parody of, and if you're not EC
fans it wouldn't be funny to you anyway, so no need to explain more. I
imagine images of these covers will pop up somewhere on the Internet
afterwards, so you'll see them eventually.
Aside from SD, I guess that's my queue to announce where else I will be
found
for the foreseeable future. I often forget that some people want to know
that, and when I nearly failed to mention my trip to the Donald Duck Museum
in Pennsylvania, I nearly muffed a chance to see some very special ML
members who then drove many miles to meet me. So...
On August 16-20 I will be at the VI?ETAS DESDE O ATL?NTICO Comic Con, whose
3rd edition will be held in the city of A Coru?a. This is on the NW coast
of Spain.
On September 7-10 I'll be back in Helsinki making another bookstore tour --
the subject of this visit will be their year-2001 AKU ANKKA 50th
Anniversary Calendar which will feature 12 of my pin-ups that have appeared
in PICSOU, perhaps in a slightly different version of each, along with
texts I've written for each one. (By the way, yesterday I drew a special
cover for AKU ANKKA's use of my "The Three Caballeros Ride Again" in issue
#40-42/2000, same weeks as in the Egmont editions... and today I'm writing
them a text about the "making of" the story.)
Okay, then in October I go on another German tour, appearing at the book
sections of their biggest (so I hear) department store chain known as (if I
spell it right) Karstadt. The tour will be Oct. 16-24, perhaps longer. The
preliminary list of appearances is as follows:
16th - Essen or Darmstadt
17th - Giessen
18th - Berlin (2 stores)
19th - Berlin (1 more store! Big city!)
20th - Hamburg (2 stores)
21st - Hamburg (1 more store! Lotsa Hamburgers!)
22nd - Frankfurt (at a store and at the world's biggest book fair that will
be taking place that weekend! Always wanted to see that sucker! (Even
though I won't be able to read a word in the hall!)
23rd - Darmstadt or Essen (wherever I wasn't on the 16th)
24th - Stuttgart
25th - maybe some comic stores or such in the next few days, depending on
what we work out.
In November I'll be at the Mid-Ohio Con In Columbus on the 24-26th.
Other than that, my schedule tells me I'll be at the dentist on September
15 (no autographs, please... I might be numb) and in December I hope to be
sleeping in a tent on a mountain somewhere in New Mexico or old Mexico
(free sketches if you can find me -- you bring the pencil and paper and
extra water).
And there you have it -- and more of it than you wanted.

Barks influence on Spielberg and more.....
Message 38 -
2000-07-16 at 01:13:54
Someone (Arie?) asked if Spielberg "stole" any of Barks' ideas. Though I
can't say it was outright "stealing" I do recall reading in an old Cross
Talk column (Gladstone's "coming attractions" feature for those of you
who don't know) that Barks' Micro Ducks From Outer Space (US 65) story
was the inspiration for the the movie Batteries Not Included.
Also, I just got the new Overstreet price guide, and it looks like
"values" for US 179, DD 222 and WDC&S 480 have finally been adjusted. US
179 has the current market value of $125. which seems to fit nicely with
the prices we've seen it going for lately.
One last thing: The price guide says that US digest 5 is scarce, meaning
that only 20-100 copies are known to exist. Can this be correct? I can
vouch for this issue missing from my collection, and I've had an
increasingly difficult time finding digests, but I find it hard to
believe that *any* book made by a major company in the last 15 years can
be *that* difficult to come by. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Updating what I wrote:
English-language Disney comics are, I understand, published in India
and Singapore. India makes sense, as English is a very common
language there, but English-reading fans of Don Rosa would be out of
luck; they only publish a digest-size magazine, so they gravitate
toward digest-designed material. This might also be true of
Singapore, but I don't have any info on that.
So, there would not seem to be specific prohibitions on publishing in
the English language among Disney's worldwide publishing licensees,
only geopolitical market restrictions on retail distribution. Just
how such restrictions are established and regulated I won't even dare
to guess, particularly as consistency is not a hallmark of these
activities on an international or even national scale.

Summer-Reading

Hello!
I just wanted to tell that the last weeks issues of the Norwegian
(Scandinavian) weekly 'Donald Duck' have been really enjoyable. This because
of lots of extra pages with quality stuff, making the weekly 96 pages. The
extra pages are called 'summer-fun', and that's exactly what they are.
Two weeks ago Don Rosa's story 'Treasure Under Glass' (D 90227) was
reprinted. It was first time printet in a monthly Mickey Mouse comic, and it
was about time readers of the weekly could enjoy this marvelous story.
Last week Barks' magnificent story 'Ancient Persia' (W OS 275) was printed
in the weekly for the first time. This is surely Barks at his very best.
This week they printet an old Scarpa-story for the first time in Norway.
This was 'Topolino e il campionissimo' (I TL 154), where Goofy becomes very
strong, and starts a boxing-career. A true masterpiece by one of the very
best Disney-artists.
Alas, the summer-reading is at an end. The next issue will be regular-sized.

It most certainly is. I especially love the panel where Goofy knocks out
the master for the first time with a little "Bonk!" The expressions on
the two characters' faces are beautifully controlled (almost
understated) by Scarpa. Brilliant! :-)
