Thanks Olivier ! Very interesting. I have recalculated your table to
find out what is the price per page and price per interesting page in US
cent. Then we get the following, interesting don't you think ?
Seems like the us price level is very high.

Since I only buy the weekly I can't make a similar comparison for Sweden
but I will look in one of the later copies of the weekly and see what
figures I get.

Komix: 700 drachmas, 68 pages, monthly (2,05 Euro)
Donald: 600 drachmas, 100 pages, monthly (1,75 Euro)
Almanako: 600 drachmas, 100 pages, monthly (1,75 Euro)
The monthly "Minnie and her company" should have the
same price as Donald and Almanako.
I don't know how much the weekly Mickey Mouse costs
here 'cause I've stopped buying it 2 years ago. I
don't know either the prices of Klasika nor Megalo
Miky (Mickey Giant). Maybe Kriton or Archontis
remember the prices.

So here come translations:

I had stopped buying it for decades, until Archontis recently suggested I
should give it a try, and I was hooked. It would seem that MIKY MAOUS is
currently printing a classic story on almost every issue, either as the
main story or as the backup story, so I'd suggest that you give it a try.
(For the next 10 weeks or so the classic story is going to be the Zodiac
Stone, so depending on whether that is your cup of tea or not, you might
want to wait a bit.)

Here are most usual Disney comics in Finland:
Aku Ankka (Donald Duck):
weekly, full colour, 36 pages, 1,60 ? (9,50 FIM)
Roope-setä (Uncle Scrooge):
pocket magazine, monthly, full colour (except the one page story), 100
pages, 2,86 ? (17,00 FIM)
Aku Ankan taskukirja (Donald Duck pocket book):
more often than monthly, full colour, price depends on how many pages there
are. I have here one with 260 pages and it has costed 3,87 ? (23,00 FIM)
There are sometimes also those which have more pages but I don't know how
much they cost nowadays.

Since there haven't been any Disney comics published
in the US for several years , this is a guess , but ,
based on current-day prices , a standard , 32 pulp
pages plus slick cover , US Disney comic , today ,
would cost , minimum , $1.99...or , perhaps , the
$1.95 that someone else theorized...since
(1) That's the absolute lowest price that any ,
standard-format , American mass market comic book goes
for .
(2) That's the price that the few , remaining ,
" small child "-oriented comic books - basically ,
Archie's 32-page titles ( Archie's digest-sized titles
, which go for more , probably make up the majority
of their sales , however . ) , and DC's couple of ,
basically , connected with their parent company's
cartoon/TV interests , " Kids' WB " titles
( LOONEY TOONS , POWDERPUFF GIRLS , etc. , and the
couple of " little kid " superhero titles - currently
, SUPERMAN ADVENTURES , and BATMAN GOTHAM ADVENTURES -
that DC does . )...Actually , all standard US big time
comics beyond that are $2.25 and up ! And , actually ,
I rather tend to think that , if there were Disney ,
standard-sized comics , in the U.S. today , they'd
probably go for $2.25 or 2.50 , possibly , not $1.99 ,
anyway ( POSSIBLY with one lower-priced , or , even a
" loss leader " , title ! ) !

Scarpa that made very good stuff. What I really would like, is a Scandinavian

To be more detailed, Aku Ankan taskukirja (Donald Duck pocket book) is
published about 19 times per year: new book 13 times/year, reprinted book
from older one 5 times/year and extra number 1/year. I'm not sure if they
publish an extra number every year...

Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge/Magica COLOR drawing
Item # 1166365699
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1166365699
This is an original one of a kind signed COLOR sketch of Carl Barks's Uncle
Scrooge and Magica DeSpell. This was a preliminary drawing done for his
painting "I Wonder What My Fortune Cookie Says?" It shows Scrooge and
Magica in the money bin with Scrooge about to get clobbered with a poof
bomb. With his original paintings going for thouands and thousand of
dollars this is certainly an afordable alternative and best of all it is in
COLOR, which is certainly not what you usually see. Included is a COA from
the Carl Barks Studio dated 1997 which attests to the fact that this
drawing was part of the concept work for his oil painting and that one
seldom sees Scrooge and Magica together. It has all the ingredients for a
fabulous piece. It is in fine condition and Barks has signed it at the
bottom. Please email me with any questions.

Original Donald Duck
Full Color Pencil One-of-A-Kind Original Artwork by Carl Barks
This wonderful piece is titled:?
"Airborne and Climbing"?
It is an original pencil artwork by the legendary?Carl Barks
On April 12, 1997, Walt Disney World celebrated Carl Barks' birthday in a
BIG WAY. Carl, along with 200 of his closest friends, celebrated his 96th
birthday with a "Duck" party and great collectibles. Carl produced 75
original drawings for the shindig and all of these one-of-a-kind original
pieces sold out.? Regretfully, Carl passed away last summer and original
pieces of this nature will become part of private collections in a very
short time.
The piece has been scanned for your review to included the actual image.?
Image is approx. 9 3/4" x 12 3/4" and comes framed in gold leafed molding
sized at 12 1/2" x 18 1/2" with UV Plexiglas as seen here. The back of the
picture is sealed with a Carl Barks Studio label. The item has been signed
in Carl's block style lettering on the corner of the drawing. The
electronic scan of this piece does not do justice to the magnificence of
Carl Barks' craft at 96 years of age! I am still in awe...
Please e-mail if you have any questions!

Donald Duck and the Pixilated Parrot by Carl Barks. THERE IS A Carl Barks
autograph on the 1st page in green ink. As i did not see Barks sign this I
do not know if it is authentic. Apparently the person I got this from
didn't even know it was in there. PLEASE SEE THE CLOSE-UP IMAGE AND MAKE
YOUR OWN DECISION. This is a nice looking low grade book. There is spine
and edge wear with small tearc,chips and creases. Several small pen marks.
The inside of both covers have several pieces of tapeWill make a nice
addition to any collection.

CARL BARKS&WALT KELLY in OUR GANG COMICS#8
Item # 1165801487
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1165801487
OUR GANG COMICS # 8 in about good- condition. This is one of the One Staple
books from the war years. (Dell Comics Publishers-November 1943
issue).Cover and centerfold are both loose at staple and there?s some wear
at spine. This is the issue that starts CARL BARK?S ?BENNY BURRO? series
which ended at #36. I think that the BARNEY BEAR story inside is by WALT
KELLY also. Rare in any condition and both Barks and Kelly in the same
book.
["This is one of the One Staple books from the war years"?
Which are the others? DvE.]
