Turns out I also have a copy of Disney
Adventures #12.1 I got it free when I visited
DisneyWorld in January and just now found it
in my luggage.

Since someone took the info in my mail about
DA #12.2 and added it to INDUCKS, I suppose I
will write about #12.1 too. But I'll learn
about how to submit directly to INDUCKS
someday, so I wont do this forever . . .

This is just a list of the comics in the
magazine; there is lots of other stuff too.
I should also mention that Matt Feazell
provides doodles of the editorial staff on the
contents page, but I don't know how to index
that. The story code is JZ611.

1)Disney's Tall Tails, JZ613, 1 page.
Writing and art by Glenn McCoy.
Mickey & Goofy appear.

2) Monsters, Inc. "Artist, Inc.!", no story code, 1 page.
No creator credits.
Mike and Sully appear.

3) Stitch in "Experiment 626!", JZ616, 4 pages.
Story by Michael Stewart and Paola Mulazzi. Breakdowns by Al Bigley. Art by Giovanni Rigano.
Stich is from the upcoming movie "Lilo & Stich".
Other characters include Jumba Jookiba and Number 625.

4) Lilo in "Lilo's Luau!", JZ616, 4 pages.
Story by Michael Stewart and Paola Mulazzi. Breakdowns by Al Bigley. Art by Giovanni Rigano.
Lilo is from the upcoming movie "Lilo & Stich".
Other characters include Nani and Jenny.
Yes, I know this story has the same story code
as the one above it. I suppose one is
wrong . . .

5) Doug in "Neckerchief Grief!", no story code, 2/3 page.
No creator credits.
Other characters include Doug's Mom.

6) Aaron Carter in "Fear the Fandroids!", JZ618, 3 1/3 pages.
Story by Michael Stewart. Art by Craig Rousseau.
This is one of an ocassional series that
appears in Disney Adventures featuring a spy
agency called S.M.A.R.T. (Super Music Action
Ready Team). All of S.M.A.R.T.'s field agents
are (real) pop or rock singers. I don't think
any singer has ever starred in a S.M.A.R.T.
story twice.
Other characters in this story are Chief and
Figgins. They are regular supporting characters in S.M.A.R.T. stories.

7) The Last Laugh "Beat Your Friends With the Sled-O-Matic", JZ619, 1 page.
Written by John Green. Art by Charly La Greca.

Wohoo!
I had a quite funny experience - I bought the new weekly (Kalle Anka),
while waiting for the tram, and brought it to a small party with many
friends. The first story was Don Rosas (don't know the name) kindofsequel
to a matter of some gravity, where Magica makes a forgetthings spell on
our heros. I started reading it together with a friend, and we laughed a
great deal (It turned into a favourite story pretty quickly) - it was
hilarous! People thought we were being strange, as they have never
dicovered the wonderful universe of our feathered friends. But, they had
to see for themselves, so they started reading it as well, in couples
(it's hard to be more than 2 when you read a magazine like that), and
first they tried to stay calm, but after a while, they fell apart with
laughter, as they realized how brilliant the humour in it is! It was so
fun to look at them doing it!

We were at the house of 2 americans, and they didn't understand a thing
first - "donald duck? is that a comic? Can it be fun to
read? Strange...". I explained to them that it's a great way to learn a
new language better, so I let them keep it (they are currently studying
swedish)

/Theresa, who just loves the stories with Magica, Scrooge and
Donald... And can't wait for the next one.

From: Marco Barlotti <marcobar at ds.unifi.it>
>>>>>Is a lucky owner of "Dell Giant" #35 (October 1960) on this list?
He might help us Italians to identify a 22-pages, 3-tiers story that
appeared on issue #261 of "Topolino".
This is a remake of Barks' "Seven cities of Cibola" but begins at HDL's
school. Donald is their theacher and he announces to the class that they
won a sort of "Fullbright scholarship" ;-) to visit a faraway island.
We suspect this to be the FIRST story of the comic book (16 pages but
4-tiered) whose title is "HDL Back to school".
However the title just doesn't sound right for the plot. And the whole
story seems to be misplaced among the other, simpler, stories of that issue
35 of "Dell Giant".
So anyone who checks will do us a big favour.

I just trotted down to the "vault" and brought a copy up.
But... I can't tell what it is you want to know. Yes, "Back to School",
being the title of the comic, serves as the title of the otherwise UNtitled
first story. And, yes, that seems to be the story you are describing as
being in your TOPOLINO #261. It's not a remake of "7 Cities of Cibola", but
it contains various elements from that excellent story, jumbled and pasted
together into a new *very stupid* story that is really nothing much like the
original. There's a lost ship and a box canyon and a jar of relics and a
green statue on a pedestal that sets off a booby trap. But you know all
that, right? You have it in your TOPOLINO issue.

Now that you've made me read this story, darn you, I hafta gripe about it!
What a screwy plot this "Back to School" story has! There's a guy who is
spending his life searching for a treasure on an island. The Ducks help him
locate a solid gold staircase that leads high up a mountain and eventually
to a cave where the "golden city" (only 1, not 7) is. They set off the
booby-trap before they even get to the city, and flee. And the man laments
that he will never see the treasure again. And in the same panel he's saying
that, they are going down the solid gold staircase which contains more gold
than is probably stored in Fort Knox or Wall Street combined. Huh?! And
that's only slightly stupider than the rest of the story elements. Whew. I
couldn't help that... reading this plot to help you identify it just makes
me more grateful for Carl Barks' stories, for which I already couldn't be
more grateful. He had more wit and intelligence in one panel than one can
see in all 16 pages of this mess.

Anyway, Marco, I assume I'll see you again when I am a guest at the Torino
Comic Fair in Italy next month, eh? I look forward to being back in
Italia!!!!!!!!!!

Are Uncle Scrooge Comics being published in English? If they are, where can
I get a subscription?

Hi, Rob, and THANKS for the information:

>For the Italian members interested in the Topolino 261 story "Back to
>School",
>with 3 tiers and 21 pages: It was, indeed, the lead story in Huey, Dewey and
>Louie Back to School Dell Giant Comic Nr. 35 from 1960. Yes, it was 16
>pages of
>4-tiers each. It WAS titled "Back to School", and drawn by Tony Strobl.

Now, since (I suppose) you have that Dell Giant Comic at hand, could you
check whether the following panel belongs to that comic book, and whether
it's the cover or it's taken from a game page or...:

http://www.cce.unifi.it/~marcobar/Comics/bts.jpg

This was used in the Italian "Topolino" to introduce the whole bunch of
stories taken from that GDC. To me, it looks like a TRACED Strobl.
Thank you!

Marco

Subject: Forget it!
To: dcml at stp.ling.uu.se
From: "Anders Christian Siveb¾k"
>>>>Just a note to tell all Rosa-readers here that the new story Forget it
is
out in Scandinavia now.

...And I've already gotten about 10 messages from people who can't find the
"D.U.C.K." in the splash panel. Well, it's there, but I made it very tiny,
not knowing that the colorist would unintentionally obscure it with dark
coloring. It's also an instance when the letters do not appear all together,
but appear nearby each other in matching spots -- past examples of this
"rule of hiding" would be in each of a camel's 4 knees, or in each of the 4
arms of a crucifix.
I guess some people might want to hunt a little more, so that's all I'll say
for now.
