No snags, but many details. It has always been Gemstone's intention to
get the details sorted out and nailed down before making any definitive
statements about what will be produced for these markets, and when they
will be produced. What John had to say was about the projects that have
a firm schedule at this juncture.

Keep in mind that just a few short months ago it wasn't even possible
to say that Gemstone was even going to do the Disney comics. Now two
prestige monthlies and two newsstand monthlies will be coming out, all
up and running by the end of summer. And those details are being pulled
together to get us out there in the trade paperback arena. After four
years of nothing, I think that's pretty fair progress.

No, you cant compare the game with any other. You have a bat, a ball, a
thrower and a grid but the rules are impossible for anyone exept the fans.
Perhaps is softball and baseball related to cricket.

go to www.cricket.org/ for more information and

For those of you who are interested in Free Comic Book Day, here's the
official URL:
http://www.freecomicbookday.com
A toughie to remember, right? ;-)

And here's a list of participating publishers:
http://www.freecomicbookday.com/pub_com.asp

By the way, it's best to call up your local comic shop beforehand to see it
they're participating. They might not be offering the Donald Duck Adventures
book, or some of the other offered titles.

FWIW, besides the DDA book, i'm looking most forward to Batman Adventures
and The Best of Dork Storm. Dork Storm offers hilarious books. One of their
titles Dork Tower rings true to this comic book/SF/fantasy movie geek.
Recommended fully!

Thanks,
Jeff C

Quack,

oh, I made a misspelling. The correct address should be
<URL:http://brugd.ctrl-c.liu.se/~bark/carlbarks.gif>. It's not that
much to see anyway.

I have also made a symlink to the incorrect URL. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the link, Jeff!
Hmm, they say "Any comic book stores in the world can participate in Free
Comic Book Day, although there may be some limitations on which titles are
available in which countries due to licensing and other considerations. If
you want your local store to get involved, let them know!"
So it *might* be possible to obtain some of these comic books even here in
Finland, but it's certainly doubtful - I guess...
I have to send email to some finnish comic shops.
