It's a miracle!!!

Witch was launched today here in Brazil!!!
Ok, ?t's very clear on the first edition that it's a magazine for GIRLS!!!
It's very embarissing to buy it with a declaration into it, saying "a
magazine JUST for girls", but in anyway, it's a very good comic book! :)

Fernando!

Shad Z informs us:

Anna Nichole Smith is a model?In America, she is better known recently for
marrying an aged Texas oil tycoon, who died a few years after the
wedding

She was also Playmate of the Month for May 1992 and Playmate of the Year for
1993 in the U.S. edition of Playboy magazine. Interestingly, in most media
coverage of her in recent years this aspect of her, shall we say, career,
has largely gone unremarked.

She did do a remarkably witty turn as herself in one of the first episodes
of "The Naked Truth", a 1995 TV sitcom starring T?a Leoni as an aspiring
paparazzi. And T?a Leoni later starred in "Deep Impact", the sister evil
asteroid movie to "Armageddon", reportedly Disney's top box office draw for
1998; her co-star in "Deep Impact" was Maximilian Schell, who starred in
Disney's 1979 attempt at a "Star Wars" cash-in, "The Black Hole".
(Not a bad movie, really, suffering mainly from trying to do Disneyesque
things in a dark live-action setting over a plot that had some truly bizarre
moments of incoherence. Rather like "The Moonspinners", actually.)

Later, in 1985, Disney released "The Black Cauldron", an animated fantasy
film based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Kent. This movie ?
which I've never seen, in spite of my fondness for the book ? soon ran afoul
of a wave of nervousness experienced by Disney over the use of the term
"black", and was for a time retitled "The Magic Cauldron". This, along with
Disney's flop sweats over the use of the name "Black Pete", led us at
Gladstone to speculate in rare idle moments if Disney would eventually
retitle "The Black Hole" to something like "The Magic Hole" or "The Bad
Hole". They didn't; perhaps cooler heads at Disney pointed out that such
variations would not improve the situation.

And that's "Six Degrees of Disney Comics" for today.

AND I REPLY:

I believe you meant to credit Lloyd Alesander as the author of THE BLACK
CAULDRON, along with the other CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN novels. And if you
love the book, don't ever see the film. It is the perfect example of
Disney's attempt at doing anything dark without really wanting to, much like
their stab at SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

if wanted and noone else popped up before me, I'd be happy to provide
you with the relevant data - maybe drop a short note if that would be
welcomed.

And leave it to me to misspell when correcting someone else. The author of
the TARAN novels is Lloyd Alexander, with an "X", not an "S".

Hi

Paulo tells us:
>After two years of many postpones, this masterpiece is going to
published in
>portuguese. The first volume (of two, since we're going do print a
>mini-series of two volumes) will be released in May.
Sounds great (I for one would like to know how to uptain a copy!)

>In order to do a good press release, I'd like to know a couple of
things,
>such as: how *many* copies this book has selled worldwide, in how many
languages,
>the prizes, and so on.
The story was made for Egmont, being published first in Scandinavia,
where the company is situated.
Around the same time it was published in Germany. This publication took
from 1992 (autumn) to 1994 (summer).
It's also published in America, France, Italy, Holland, Greece, Spain
(very spread, but with covers) and other places I presume. - I at least
saw one chapter in Indonese.
Many of these countries have made a book-release of the story, in
Scandinavia it was 1997.

A series of 4 albums, at a fair price, and a quite expensive, limited
and so on book was published in the States.

There's much to tell about this, and please help if you know any
numbers. - I'll try to find links and such for you Paulo. - I'm proud
to be a member of duckhunt, so i should know where to find them.

That's a fact. I even double checked by looking at the actual book?Lloyd
Alexander, Lloyd Alexander?but I swear, I've been mixing that up with
Alexander Kent since seventh grade. Even worse, I have no idea who Alexander
Kent is (if anybody)!

Mmm... I didn't see yet, but I suppose is like the former Superboy show,
without a Superboy suit. There is a young Lex Luthor and sure Lana Lang is
hanging from the pants of a baby face Clark Kent.
That trend of superheroes without costumes is fine when is writed by Warren
Ellis o Grant Morrison. But with Superman... I don't know: for me Supes is
Doc Savage with pajamas...

I ever preferred the former propietor of the Fortress of Solitude...

"If we had gone downstairs we would have probably found a money pit
where he (Lex) swims in the stuff, like that duck with the Irish accent!"
>>>I thought it was cool they mentioned Scrooge in a tv show based on
another
comic book.

Yeah, but that's an anachronism! In Superboy's day, they would not have
known anything about $crooge having a Scottish accent. That writer had been
watching the modern "Ducktales" TV series.
But then, when does this "Smallville" show take place? In the late 80's?! I
guess that could be. Whew... when I was collecting Superboy comics, the
stories were taking place in the 1930's, judging by the old cars in the
Smallville background.

He was one of Clark's uncles who was run over by an old car in Smallville in
the 1930's. In the background.

Hi! Guess what???
Moby Duck is back in France, in the last Mickey Parade!!
That was such a long time!
I am sure Me, Olivier, Fran?ois and the other french dcmailians were the only
persons who remember about him, here in France!
I am very happy, and I wanted to share this happinessful moment with u!!!
When will all the wonderful websites which disappeared appear again?? I have
a lot of pages in my site which link to nowhere :-((

To Fran?ois:
I have been very busy with my exams and all, but I will soon help you to
index all the missing PM, and all the other magazines I told you about, I
just need time, you know. Just warn me, if somebody already indexed them!

Since last two months, Mickey Parade has been changed:
It is bigger, with more pages, more informations about the stories, and a new
name: Mickey Parade G?ant (Giant MP). It is very good! That wouldn't be a
matter for me indexing them too, as I will buy 'em all!

Will you change the indexing abbreviation for Mickey Parade? It hasn't the
same name, but the number of the issues are kept...

There are also in another story from the magazine two characters I like who
hadn't been spoken about for a long time : Gilbert and Witch Hazel!!! A real
pleasure!

Bye!
Have a good March month!!!

It happens in the present. It has nothing to do with any other Superman or
DC continuities.

I think only read Moby in a brazilian magazine... I always think that was an
italian or brazilian invent. What's the origin of this character?
