Hello!
I'm much better this week....as I told some friends, maybe on the future
I'll write something about Igayara's, as I'm doing with Renato Canini. If he
doesn't did hinself, maybe it's my obligation to do something about it.
I received this week the wonderful book "Romano Scarpa-Sognando la
Calidornia", and I think it's really amazing! It has the same structure I'm
planning to do into my monography, and it will be a great source of
inspiration, not only to write about Disney comics, but to write Disney
comics itself! :-)
Great work, Luca, Alberto, Leonardo e Andrea!
Scarpa is in fact un "grande maestro"! I just fell bad 'cause Abril doen't
published much of his work around here....!
But my question is related to Brazil...anyone know if Scarpa has some
opinion about what we, brazilians, did with Paperetta, when they've put her
as the principal character of the Duckynagers, os Disney Teen, as I prefer
to say?
He liked this stories, he saw it? He never saw it? He doesn't have an
opinion about it? Or he has?
I'm really curioius about, since I really like Paperetta, as a Scarpa's
creation and also as Pata Lee, here in Brazil! :-)
Thanks,
Fernando!

Hi!
I was reading what Cord wrote, and I couldn't resist to manifest myself:
Digital Comics, as he mentioned:
> - they take no space
They will take LESS space, but they'll take space anyways. In CD-Roms or in the HD of your computer...
> - comics would always remain in print
This isn't something that you can count for sure. It all depends of the politics of the publishers. Some of them make the comics available, like DC Comics actually does with its paperbacks. Any kind of stuff can get discontinued... you even can't find some "old" CDs and CD-Roms today...!
> - all the great comics of the past would always be available
See what I've mentioned above;
> - I could buy any comic instantly over the internet
If this "digital comic" is delivered on-line, in this case you're right... this is something that's completely different from "our" comics actually. That's why they're "digital", and not regular comics. But I prefer the other format!
> - it could be possible to try a comic before you purchase it.
But you can do it, anyway! It's just a matter of checking it...!
> - I could take my comics with me wherever I go
Why can't you go with your comics to any other place?
> - they could be much cheaper as production costs are much lower
More or less. You would cut costs with printing. Maybe with distribution - you would need a distribution in case of CD-Roms or DVD-Roms. And you would pay the creative team...
The costs don't decrease so easily in a digital format.
> - they do not collect dust, yellow and deteriorate of the years
Buy those special plastic bags!!
> - I could find any comic in my collection instantly
You can do this if you catalog them and if you put them in the proper manner in a collection box.
> - I could reread any comic at any time
Why can't you reread the stories in your "paper" comics?!
> - colors ould be better as digital displays can display millions of
> colors and are more brilliant than print.
The monitor shines. That's why the colors are so vivid. But printers can reproduce the color tones better now.
> - I could make my own "best of" collections
It's only a matter of putting them aside in your collection!

I don't wanna be against you, but being a comic professional I tend to see the medium as the books that we see these days. I"m also not against better technologies or innovation... but I don't see comics going to other formats by now. If you can't "control" the storytelling, then it won't matter... it won't be a comic.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Hello, could somebody from this list
tell me adresses of good (good in the meaning of having
a good choice of Disney comics) comic shops in
Copenhagen, Malm? and Stockholm, please ?
I'll be there on holiday and like to stock up my collection.
Certainly you can answer directly to me in order not
to charge the mailing list with this question....
Thanks a lot.

We list the COVER date, which is (for most USA comics) a few months LATER
than the publishing date.
Look for instance at all the Christmas issues, dated "February".

No way - i simply hate to read a story on the internet - there is something special about sitting in chair or something and reading a comic from 1952 - but not on the monitor...
A comic IS a magazine, that you read, not something on the internet - !!! I don't see the idea in reading comics on the internet... I can see, that it is smart that you can read them before you buy them, but then the publishers wilil have to high the prices.. and THAT's some BULLSHIT!!!

Cut in half and put together in two rows (to make 4 rows with two strips).
But no, in original newspapers in 1930's and 40's they ran these strips as

Thanks for the info. So if I've understood correctly, Ludwig von Drake
really had his print debut in the Dell Giant, which was even before the TV
debut.
DD-Sonderheft (TGDD): You are right. I seem to remember that the "Barks
phase" began (or better: re-began) in the early eighties with issue 73 ("DD
finds Pirate Gold"). Before, there was lots of Strobl and also Italian
stuff. Just for the record, again.

Do you mean these Finnish books? I guess it's pretty hard to get earlier
ones. I can't think of any online shops where these might be. These books
are not any prestige format books that are available all the time. Cheap
softcover books sold in newstands, kiosks etc. where they disappear soon.

In addition, some parts of panels are probably cut away. I say "probably"
because I know only one case when this was done. On the other hand, that

Hello folks
I am no luddite. Modern computers and the internet are
a massive boon for comics fans. But while I enjoy the
fact that you can read comics on a computer
screen...and am very grateful to get daily deliveries
of great old newspaper strips through the digital
media...and would rather see them preserved digitally
than not at all...
...I agree with Fabricio that paper is best. I love
old comics, particularly crumbly faded old ones. Just
the smell of them gives me immense pleasure. The gaudy
colours of the printing. The yellowed pages. You can't
beat it. Personally, I don't care about the condition,
and I don't want to put my comics in Mylar Snuggies
Archival Storage Sleeves in a lead lined vault. I want
to read them, enjoy them.
Childhood memories of going to the shops, looking at
all the brightly coloured comics on the counter at the
newsagent. Happy memories. Will the next generations
have these memories? Memories of actually making a
physical effort to find something? Going out to buy
something? The feel, touch and smell of a comic book?
Makes you think, doesn't it?
Best wishes to all Comic People, Papery or Electronic.

I am no luddite. Modern computers and the internet are
a massive boon for comics fans. But while I enjoy the
fact that you can read comics on a computer
screen...and am very grateful to get daily deliveries
of great old newspaper strips through the digital
media...and would rather see them preserved digitally
than not at all...
...I agree with Fabricio that paper is best. I love
old comics, particularly crumbly faded old ones. Just
the smell of them gives me immense pleasure. The gaudy
colours of the printing. The yellowed pages. You can't
beat it. Personally, I don't care about the condition,
and I don't want to put my comics in Mylar Snuggies
Archival Storage Sleeves in a lead lined vault. I want
to read them, enjoy them.

In the COA/I.N.D.U.C.K.S. page about "Back in Time for
a Dime!" (only plot by Don Rosa). We can read the
following:
-----
Art: Cosme Quartieri
Ink: Robert Bat
Story: Don Rosa
Plot: Don Rosa
-----
On the first page of the story itself we can read the
following:
-----
Written by: Don Rosa
Drawn by: Jaime Diaz
Colored by: Fred Carrilo
-----
So what is correct here?
Sigvald :-)
