Everyone:

I certainly share the enthusiasm of Rodney W Bowcock, Jr. and my good friend
Chuck Munson over the possible return of a Disney comics line to the USA.
It's been what now... only two and one half years? How many wars have been
wrapped up in less time than these license negotiations?!

Where Rodney and I part company is over his comment below:

<< "...but surely folks would welcome stories from the first Gladstone
run (like Editor In Grief, and Race For Riches) with new color." >>

Actually, NO... I would not prefer to continue buying mass quantities of
stories I ALREADY OWN! Especially in view of the fact that SO VERY MUCH has
been produced that we in the USA may never live to see! Just the volume of
new work produced by Don Rosa, William and Noel Van Horn, and David Gerstein
should be enough to carry the new line for some time!

It was a particular problem for me, with Gladstone Series II, that they would
so often "repeat" stories they ran during Series I. That, and the paper
covers and temporary removal of the letter columns.

The readership of American Disney comics doesn't continually "turn over" to
the extent that the readership of publishers like Archie does! Many of us
have been a part of this for literally decades. Do we really need more
reprints of stories which appeared in both the '80s and '90s, and can be
found in the back issues bins or online?

Then, there are so many American stories which have never been reprinted in
the USA. Two of my favorites of all time fall into this category: Tony
Strobl's "The Incredible Golden Iceberg" (A story worthy of what Barks was
doing at the time with Scrooge and Magica - and for which Barks produced the
illustrative cover) DONALD DUCK # 101 1965. Paul Murry's "The Return of the
Phantom Blot" (My generation's introduction to The Blot, with one of the
best surprise endings of all time!) WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES #
284-287 1964.

"Iceberg" WAS reprinted in Whitman's DONALD DUCK # 234, but that's probably
much more difficult to find than the original.

Barks and Gotfredson should be part of the mix of ANY Disney comics line but,
if Gary Leach or anyone potentially involved with this new endeavor is
reading this, please have the greater emphasis be on stories yet to be
published in the US or those not seen in more than a quarter century.

Joe Torcivia. (...looks forward to having letter columns again! )

Hi,

Thanks to the Digest we now know Daisy's phone number. Anyone know Grandma
Duck's phone number? It's listed, too. Was Scrooge's number ever mentioned in
a story?

Regards.

I must say, I agree in many ways with Joe's remarks in the last issue in
regards to new material in the US Disney comics.

I love Carl Barks stories, but it gets a little irritating when I've been
collecting for about 13 years and already have as many as 5 or 6
different English printings of the same story. I was also a little put
off at the reprints of Rosa stories that had been printed only 3 or 4
years before.

However, Gottfredson material is a different can of worms for me.
Gladstone's run of Mickey Mouse is pretty tough to find these days,
especially early issues. When I first started collecting, around 1988
these books weren't a priority for me because there was no Barks
material. Since, as a 10 year old kid, I had no steady income, I opted
to buy the books with the most Rosa/Barks material. Now I find it
*really* tough to find copies of these early issues, and since the color
in what I have is pretty muddy, I thought some "new improved" reprints
may be in order. (While I'm dreaming, the Eega Beeva stories would be
splendid to see!)

But more than that I'm looking forward to the possibility of all that new
stuff from Rosa, the Van Horns, and Dave Gerstein.

Rodney

Hear! Hear!

(A good compromise would probably be what Gladstone did in their first run,
where each duck title would have some Barks in it, even if it was only a
one-page gag. I think that they only broke this unwritten rule in one issue,
which was heavy on Rosa, so probably nobody noticed the omission.)

GARY (or anyone else involved in the new series)

This is probably too early to be mentioning this, but here goes: Please do not
forget about us overseas subscribers, and send us notification about expiring
subscriptions and new titles that will be appearing, in time to renew/order.
I have a nasty suspicion that my subscription from the Gladstone era, which I
understand will be carried over to the new line of comics, will have expired
by the time the first of the comics reaches me by surface mail, three months
after it is published!

(How's that for a paragraph that is both optimistic and pessimistic at the
same time?)

> Was Scrooge's number ever mentioned in a story?

I don't know about his number, but if he answers the phone himself he will
probably say: "Scrooge McDuck speaking! What can I do for you?" :-)
(Panel 5.5 of "The Swamp Of No Return", US 57)

His address is Scrooge McDuck, 1313 Quack Street.
It's mentioned in panel 1.4 of "The Interplanetary Postman" (US 53).

Not to be mistaken for Stooge McDock, 1313 Quick Street,
mentioned in the previous panel.

Best wishes,

According to the old fox story (US 6), panel 9.6, the address
of Scrooge's *house* is 33 B Street.

In the atlantis story (US 5), Donald's address is 1313 Webfoot Walk.

Best wishes,
