Edited it was, indeed, but only technically, i.e. no censoring
happened, and no single panel was omitted.
Gladstone simply "translated" the italian digest three-tiered
format into the "regular" american four-tiered, thus sparing
a few pages. Most panels had to be widened to fit the new format,
but details have been added, rather than deleted.
This is the only Scarpa story that was so edited by Gladstone,
all the others were published in the original three-tiered
format (although with some minor "adjustments", in a coupla
cases).

If you simply no longer find the exercise fun, for whatever reason, then
please do cease. One shouldn't continue an endeavor in which one no longer
perceives any value and/or reward.
Your call to your "fellow Greek readers", however, might amount to asking
them to collectively shoot themselves in the foot! Do you really want them
to abandon Komix because it is, in your view, violating some "purity of
content" rule? I really don't see how they'll manage to accomplish anything
by this beyond helping to hasten the demise of yet another Disney comics
publication. And you might want to consider if your own stated intentions
might not do the same.

There are probably less "new" Disney comics groups than

there is one every few months). Most of them are either
very different in the form (like Soeren's IRC chat)
or look more like "golden books/ message boards" attached to a website.

Kriton I liked the articles about Walter Elias Disney(1901-1966).I can get
his bio if I want but getting extracts from his own letters lets you know
more on the life he lived.The 9 pages of aryticles are fine.If you want to
critisize something focus on how more advertisements than usual there are in
this issue.15 pages of advertisements including two presented as
"articles".This is getting irritating.More advertisements than articles.And
my problem with Aragones is not that he isn't a Disney writer but I don't

Kriton has been criticising the contents of Komix for months now.
Apparently, the Komix people don't listen to this criticism, or they decide
to ignore it. So the only other option that's left is to spend less money:
that's what the publisher *really* should care about.
There are some similarities with the Gladstone comics when their sales went
down. We got less content for a larger price. We got advertisements
disguised as articles. And I wouldn't be surprised if Komix would start to
spread a Rosa story over 3 issues, so at least the Rosa fans have to buy
them. And all the time the fans complain, we only hear "give the editors
some room, they already have a hard time selling their comics".
I *do* hope that Komix will stay in existance. But that will only happen if
they know what their readers want.

Um, I wasn't suggesting that Greek readers should stop buying Komix,

To push things to their extreme, hoping to make it clear why I am upset,
let me point out that "War and Peace" is a masterpiece, so perhaps
Komix should dedicate 16 or 32 pages each issue to printing that story
in installments.
The point is that while I used to pay 700 drs. for 68 pages of Disney
comics and articles, I now have to pay 900 drs. for some fifty-odd pages
of same, so I can't help feeling cheated.

I've mentioend before that my feeling is that Terzopoulos is publishing
Komix at a loss, just because he wants to read his favorite stories
in Greek. I suspect that he has now developed a taste for Aragones,
so I doubt if he is going to miss my 900 drs. :(

I hope the Komix people haven't read this! In any case, they have so much
material to choose from, and which they have finally decided to begin
using, that even people like myself, who have overdosed on Barks, may
find it hard to skip an issue. Next month, e.g., they will be printing
a classic Christmas story by Scarpa. They don't say what story it is,
but I doubt that I'd want to miss it. [Insert picture of myself thinking

Report from Rome
Message 283 -
2001-11-28 at 14:53:46
Hi,
Last week end in Rome was quite interesting for comics-oriented
people like us ("quite" interesting, not "very"!)
There were two exhibitions devoted to comics, and I also had the
pleasure to meet some of our subscribers and other Disney fans:
Harry Fluks (who came from his usual cold Holland to the unusual
cold Rome), Marco Barlotti, Dario Ambrosini, Nicola Raimondi, all
Inducksers and Silverware and Morpheus, members of the Italian PKNA
mailing list.
On Wednesday I met Harry outside his hotel, and we had a dinner
during which we talked a lot about comics, Inducks and Dizni. But
the interesting thing, I think, is our visit to the exhibitions.
On Thursday we first visited Expocartoon (it was easier to reach by
underground) where we had to wait a while for a couple of Italian
ministers to proceed with the official inauguration. There were few
comic-related stands, also from well-known sellers with interesting
things to see (and buy). But the greater part of the exhibition was
related to other things than comics: car stereo, military aviation,
toys, car models, pay-per-view channels, shooting at target game,
etc.....
After a quick look, we left for Romics, where, for the first time
since the first Expocartoon, there was no one waiting to buy
tickets!
The exhibition space was very little if compared to the space of the
previous editions of Expocartoon, but there were also interesting
things, such as the meeting about comics & web that took place on
Sunday.
Too bad I lost my wish-list, for the THIRD time in the last three
exhibitions!!! I'll have to get used to take a spare copy of it with
me! So I couldn't buy any Topolino.
On the afternoon and evening me and Harry spent some time browsing
through my collection, and choose few of my doubles... too bad he
isn't interested in "Almanacco Topolino": I have some copies in very
bad conditions reprinting very bad stories, but they take a lot of
space! ;-)
While Friday I had to go back to work, Saturday I met Harry again
and we spend some interesting hours in looking the Dizni source
code, talking about codes for multi-part stories, and other maniacal
aspects of our Inducksers activities.
On sunday I met the Italian part of the prevoius names list,
starting from a meeting with some of the webmasters from the Italian
web fanzines about comics (not only Disney) where the Inducks was
invited thanks to the precious help of Andrea Materia, one of the
organizators in Romics.
Then, after spending few hours looking for some Topolino issues, I,
Marc and Dario headed once again to Expocartoon, where I find an
"Albo d'oro" reprinting a (more or less) butchered version of ZM
43-11-21, the only MM continuity I was missing!
Well, I surely must be missing something, but that's the main part
of this long and interesting week end (interesting mainly because of
meeting so many friends!!!)
Ciao,
- Paolo

On Thursday we first visited Expocartoon (it was easier to reach by
underground) where we had to wait a while for a couple of Italian
ministers to proceed with the official inauguration. There were few
comic-related stands, also from well-known sellers with interesting
things to see (and buy). But the greater part of the exhibition was
related to other things than comics: car stereo, military aviation,
toys, car models, pay-per-view channels, shooting at target game,
etc.....
After a quick look, we left for Romics, where, for the first time
since the first Expocartoon, there was no one waiting to buy
tickets!
The exhibition space was very little if compared to the space of the
previous editions of Expocartoon, but there were also interesting
things, such as the meeting about comics & web that took place on
Sunday.
Too bad I lost my wish-list, for the THIRD time in the last three
exhibitions!!! I'll have to get used to take a spare copy of it with
me! So I couldn't buy any Topolino.
On the afternoon and evening me and Harry spent some time browsing
through my collection, and choose few of my doubles... too bad he
isn't interested in "Almanacco Topolino": I have some copies in very
bad conditions reprinting very bad stories, but they take a lot of
space! ;-)
While Friday I had to go back to work, Saturday I met Harry again
and we spend some interesting hours in looking the Dizni source
code, talking about codes for multi-part stories, and other maniacal
aspects of our Inducksers activities.
On sunday I met the Italian part of the prevoius names list,
starting from a meeting with some of the webmasters from the Italian
web fanzines about comics (not only Disney) where the Inducks was
invited thanks to the precious help of Andrea Materia, one of the
organizators in Romics.
Then, after spending few hours looking for some Topolino issues, I,
Marc and Dario headed once again to Expocartoon, where I find an
"Albo d'oro" reprinting a (more or less) butchered version of ZM
43-11-21, the only MM continuity I was missing!
Well, I surely must be missing something, but that's the main part
of this long and interesting week end (interesting mainly because of
meeting so many friends!!!)
Ciao,
- Paolo

And I am a fan of Little Lulu and Popeye. Let them remain in their own
title. (I wish they had one these days.) I weary of Disney buying up every
one else's characters and claiming them as their own.

Hi!
I just wanted to tell everybody that Byron Erickson in Egmont has decided
that my first script is so good that they'll buy it. I've also signed a few
contracts, so now I guess I really can call myself a Donald Duck story
writer! Thanks to all of you that helped me get up!
