Kriton:
During Gladstone's first run, we printed on pulp newsprint chosen and
purchased, usually based on cost and bulk availability, by the printer,
World Color Press/Spartan Printing, an outfit that had been printing a
pretty fair chunk of U.S. comics output for nearly half a century. This pulp
newsprint could, and did, vary widely in quality from bulk lot to bulk lot,
so what qualities you may discern in the paper in the first-run Gladstones
would be entirely based on that.

KRITON KYRIMIS: (Fri 27 Jul)
The table you posted is very interesting! However, I have a few
reservations about it, as it would seem to me that converting old prices
to modern ones is a non-trivial task. How is this done? By adjusting
for the official values of inflation for each year? If so, does the
computation of inflation involve the price of comic books? (I don't
think so.) Is the conversion done by comparing the price of comic books
to the price of some staple at the same time, such as a loaf of bread
(which may be subsidized) or a Big Mac (which may not have existed in
the early 50s, and even if it did, it would have been considered a luxury
at that time)? Is it done by comparing the price of a comic book to the
price of paper, which has risen sky-high the last few years? Finally,
what percentage of a typical household income was the price of a comic
book in the early fifties, compared to today? I'm sure that depending
on which criterion you use, you'll end up with quite different tables,
all of which will be equally interesting.
Well, my table was done by using the purchasing
power values of the currency (Finnish mark) at
1951-2000.
Let's say: "In 1951 the price of the Finnish
weekly Aku Ankka was 50.00 marks and that is
about 7.75 marks in today's currency."
This means that in 1951 50.00 marks (of the
currency in 1951) could be used to buy goods
etc. about as much as 7.75 marks (of the today's
currency) at today. Because currently the
Finnish weekly costs 9.50 marks we can assume
that it's price has raised since 1951.
Surely there are other reasons but inflation
raising the costs of the weekly, like taxes
included the price. But finally the cover price
is the one the buyer sees.
BTW - All the prices were calculated by using
a table from: (in Finnish)
http://economics.meritanordbanken.com/fin/calc/fimtable.asp
And here's the table with the numbers again:
Finnish weekly Aku Ankka 1951-2001:

comic weekly Aku Ankka 1951-2001.

How many pages are there explaning uncles' deaths? In Finnish edition it is
three pages long and goes something like this:
CL's uncles have just finished counting their massive pumpkin harvest.
Suddenly their friend(?) runs to them pointing in the sky and says "There's
a helicopter coming!" The helicopter lands on their field destroying many of
the pumpkins. The pilot comes out and says he wanted to rest awhile and
landed. (Is that courteous or what?!) CL's uncles are a bit annoyed because
they now don't know how many pumpkins there are left. Their friend comes up
with an idea. The pilot lets them use the helicopter and they can easily
count the pumpkins from the air (excuse me?). Pilot says OK and CL's uncles
clime in the helicopter (not the pilot). They rise and soon the pilot starts
wondering why they're flying so far away. The uncle's friend says that it's
simple: they don't know how to fly a helicopter.
Story also says that CL's uncles bodies were later found in the river. Don't
remember if this was part of the Perego drawn episode.
Well, this brilliant show of logic and rationality has always left me quite
disturbed. Hope you enjoyed it!
BTW. It would be nice to see how original episode goes. I'll try to put
scans of the Finnish edition on the net in the weekend.

Yep! Now the question is: were the additional pages drawn by Perego for the
Italian reprint in "Topomistery" #27 ? All the other known reprints have
been already checked, either by Eta or by myself...
The Inducks currently reports that the TM 27 reprint (which came out in
1994) is 40 pages long, exactly like the original version - which seems to
imply that no addition was made (maybe Marco Barlotti can verify?). It seems
strange, though, that the Finnish editors had an Italian artist perform such
a modification... BTW, Petri, could you tell us in which Finnish edition
you've read the modified story?
Ciao,
Armando

BARKS ORIGINAL UNCLE SCROOGE 50'S COVER ART
Item # 1173214410
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1173214410
This is a beautiful piece of art by legend and Duckman supreme...
Carl Barks. Carl drew this on an onion skin type tracing paper.
It is done in pencil and is signed on the bottom corner in ink by Carl.
It is about 9x12 in size. Carl worked in these pre-lins all the time,
all the original covers are owned by Disney (The Walt Disney Production
Company), so none of the originals have ever been sold (if they still
even exist). This is a chance to own an original cover from issue #46
or #51 by the creator of Uncle Scrooge, Huey Dewey and Louie, Gyro
Gearloose and more. I checked the covers of every issue from #40-65
and the only issue I didn't see was #51, so this is either the cover
to #51 or an unused original version of #46. I am not sure. [...]
The reserve is set at $2200.00 a great price for this piece of history.
[It's an alternate cover sketch for "Lost Beneath the Sea" in US 46.
The title on this cover sketch is "Strangers Under The Sea". Contains
logo and cover layout lines. It is different from the similar-looking
alternate cover sketch in The Carl Barks Library set 5, at the bottom
of page 287. Version as printed in the CBL does not contain logo or
layout lines. DvE.]

Disney Carl Barks Oil-Ograph No Res / Only 75
Item # 1171058657
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1171058657
Hello EBAY Shoppers: I have this very very nice oil-Ograph created by
Carl Barks. It is one of only 75 that were created. This piece
"Invasion of Privacy" was issued 3 years ago and each year they were
going to issue another different print. I loved this version so much
I sold my unframed paper version for $350 at a show and immediately
bought this one for $500. It looks exactly like the oil painting it
is even on cloth.. To a person when they see it the first thing they
say is" you own an original Barks" The answer is YES this is a very
beautiful Oil-Ograph by Barks. It looks so real Disney has a stamp on
the back of the piece that states "This is a reproduction" The framing
on the piece is also fantastic. It was hand signed by Barks. I have
several other items that I had Carl Barks sign through the years and
will be putting some of these on EBAY also soon so.Please check out
my other auctions I have a lot of other great Disney items. This is
from my personal collection and the only reason I am selling it is
because I need some more money for a house I am buying othwise it
wouldn't be for sale. Shipping will be $10 in the United States.

in this Better Little Book- Porky of the Mounties and Porky and the

It is about 9x12 in size. Carl worked in these pre-lins all the time,
all the original covers are owned by Disney (The Walt Disney Production
Company), so none of the originals have ever been sold (if they still
even exist). This is a chance to own an original cover from issue #46
or #51 by the creator of Uncle Scrooge, Huey Dewey and Louie, Gyro
Gearloose and more. I checked the covers of every issue from #40-65
and the only issue I didn't see was #51, so this is either the cover
to #51 or an unused original version of #46. I am not sure. [...]
The reserve is set at $2200.00 a great price for this piece of history.
[It's an alternate cover sketch for "Lost Beneath the Sea" in US 46.
The title on this cover sketch is "Strangers Under The Sea". Contains
logo and cover layout lines. It is different from the similar-looking
alternate cover sketch in The Carl Barks Library set 5, at the bottom
of page 287. Version as printed in the CBL does not contain logo or
layout lines. DvE.]

Disney Carl Barks Oil-Ograph No Res / Only 75
Item # 1171058657
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1171058657
Hello EBAY Shoppers: I have this very very nice oil-Ograph created by
Carl Barks. It is one of only 75 that were created. This piece
"Invasion of Privacy" was issued 3 years ago and each year they were
going to issue another different print. I loved this version so much
I sold my unframed paper version for $350 at a show and immediately
bought this one for $500. It looks exactly like the oil painting it
is even on cloth.. To a person when they see it the first thing they
say is" you own an original Barks" The answer is YES this is a very
beautiful Oil-Ograph by Barks. It looks so real Disney has a stamp on
the back of the piece that states "This is a reproduction" The framing
on the piece is also fantastic. It was hand signed by Barks. I have
several other items that I had Carl Barks sign through the years and
will be putting some of these on EBAY also soon so.Please check out
my other auctions I have a lot of other great Disney items. This is
from my personal collection and the only reason I am selling it is
because I need some more money for a house I am buying othwise it
wouldn't be for sale. Shipping will be $10 in the United States.

Popeye Nancy Porky Pig 3 BLB s Carl Barks ?
Item # 1450603781
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1450603781
3 books 1 bid. Popeye the Sailor Man, Better Little Book #1422 copyright
MCMXXXVIII MCMXXXIX MCMXLVII. (1938,1939,1947) in FN-VFN. Nancy All
Pictures Comics #1487 copyright 1943, 1944 FN (pencil Carolyn Carfagno
neatly on first page). Porky Pig and His Gang Better Little Book #1404
is missing the copyright page due to the binding separating along the
interior left edge, a pity because the entire outside cover and spine
are excellent and the remaining pages are tight. The style of the comics
(these are cover to cover comics in black and white) reminds me of
CARL BARKS of Donald Duck Uncle Scrooge fame and he did draw Four Color
Comics #48 Dell Porky Pig of the Mounties in 1944. There are two "Stories"
in this Better Little Book- Porky of the Mounties and Porky and the
Pirate ! I cannot say if he drew this book, but a collector may know.
[Barrier mentions "Porky Pig and His Gang" on page 195, saying that part
of the book is reprinted from "Porky of the Mounties" (OS 48). DvE.]
