Stefan pretty much nailed it. The plotter of the first Oona story,
Stefan Printz-Påhlson, was also involved with the time machine stories
back when, and he thought it would be fun to give this particular time
machine one last appearance. Thus, the use of it in "Princess Oona" (D
93505).

Please don't take this as an insult or an insinuation that you don't know how to take care of your comics or anything like that, but I've always changed my bags and backing boards every couple of years (as soon as the bag smells of old paper). I stopped collecting comics when Disney took them over (and looking through them today, I remember why)but I bought most of them from a work-mate a couple of years ago. He didn't ever change the bags and backing boards, and I think that's why the paper has aged to the extent that it has in such a short period of time.
If I remember correctly, Don Rosa doesn't bag many of his comics at all, and they're in great shape!

Who has made Disney comics the longest time?
Message 318 -
2003-07-25 at 16:43:42
Hi all,
Just ran some general statistics on the Inducks files, and came to think of
who in this world has made Disney comics the longest time. Chierchini's first
story was published in 1956 and we still see comics from him in the Danish
(Scandinavian) pocket books. This also goes for Gatto (first publ. in 1958).
The two candidates for the "prize" are however Luciano Bottaro and Romano
Scarpa. Bottaro: 1952-2001, Scarpa: 1953-2002 (both 49 years of comic making!)
Did I forget some American, Dutch or French artists...or any others?

Olaf,
Just to join you, but without tongue in cheek,
I think many critics are missing some great stories by limiting
themselves to Barks & Rosa (both of which are obviously two of my
favorites).
For example "Somewhere in Nowhere" art by Patrick Block (early work at
that)
I'll grant the story was inspired by Barks but Lustig did a great job,
and Barks did choose Block to do the art.
I mention this art by Block especially, since he is scheduled to do more
Gemstones including some "silly" characters.
To me Block is closer to Barks in style than Rosa who while following
the Duck story line is more original with his work.
I have stories and art by over 50 different artists, and some are great,
some are dumb, but by having them we all get more involved and they also
give a good basis for comparison.
Can you imagine if every duck was by Barks or Rosa, it would be like the
movie Judge Dread where every restaurant was a Taco Bell.
Nice response!

In the book "Donald and the Loch Ness Monster" Ian and Jacob McDucks

I don't know. At least in Marvel one know what buy. You have the ultimate

Green Goblin and the Marvel Knights seal with very good writers like B.M.
Bendis, Garth Ennis... you have Brian Azzarello and Corben on the Banner
miniseries, Grant Morrison on New X Men (the issue with Wolverine and
Cyclops drinking in the Hell's Fire Club was amazing!!) and now Neil Gaiman
in 1602.
The matter I can't understand is that Jean Piaget sect who produce dumb,
simple comics for kids... We was kids of the same age when we read Carl

Message 322 -

To Rodney:
I only got into Disney comics during the Disney Comics(1990-93) era. My only
first-hand expreience(comics I've bought myself when they appeared for the
first time) is with Disney Comics and Gladstone Series II. The only Series I
comics I've ever had were bought used in comic shops, in which a majority of them
are yellowed in the way I described. So I guess I had the luck of being comics
that weren't stored properly(though the covers and pages outside of yellowing
are great).
Personally, except for the few comics(Series 1, a few others) I've bought
that were already bagged/boarded, I've just put my Disney comics in small stacks
in plastic grocery bags! They've all stayed nice and white/great condition
overall. I guess the Don Rosa way of comics storage is the best way!
But I've thought of buying bags/boards for the rest of my comics. So you
suggest changing them every few years? What happens to the boards/bags that hurts
the comics?
-------------------------
Oh, a small comment about the upcoming DDA. Apparently it will be called #1?
I feel sorry for a Disney comics newbie just getting into DDA collecting. You
have DDA #1 from the Gladstone era. Then DDA #1 for the Disney Comics era.
Then Series 2 begins with it's own numbering continuing from Series 1. Now,
here's a third DDA #1. Has Disney comics decided to follow Marvel? ;)
Also it seems that the formerly titled Gemstone comics 'Donald Duck and
Friends' has now become Donald Duck? Yet it'll still have a supporting Mickey
story? If that's so, the DD&Friends moniker would have seemed a better fit with
'Mickey Mouse and Friends', which is doing the opposite, except with Mickey at
the forefront.

27,5 x 21 cm. I think this edition is very similar to another published

The titles of the 16 issues are:
1- Aventuras de Mickey

Also it seems that the formerly titled Gemstone comics 'Donald Duck and
Friends' has now become Donald Duck? Yet it'll still have a supporting Mickey
story? If that's so, the DD&Friends moniker would have seemed a better fit with
'Mickey Mouse and Friends', which is doing the opposite, except with Mickey at
the forefront.

I agree again. The tough thing is, of course, to find that balance.
Other than that, you write that you *have* read (most of) those
subseries you mentioned in your earlier posting -- and you like them!
Well, you got me! In that case, obviously you *would* want to see as
much of it as possible in the Gemstone books. I still disagree regarding
the quality of some of this material, but as you write: "Everything is
subject to personal taste or preferences".
And I'm envious of your collection.

Hi all
Fabio
> I will not pay 8 fucking dollars for Lil' Bad Wolf stories or Baby
disney...
Now do mind your langauge, my friend :-)
Who says you'll only get those charetcers - in the oppinion I've evolved in
the
past years varriation menas a lot. I don't mind seeing the wolves and pigs,
or brer rabbit, or any charecter i haven't seen for long, as long as these
are combined
with good stories with the charecters we know the most, and love.
Baby disney, it's a long time since I saw them last - I guess it was mostly
short gag stories
and silly posters I've seen, but if some artists (and I just have a slight
feeling my
favorite artist wont do it) could make them an interesting group of
charecters,
actually giving a reason that these figures knew eachother back then, then
it would be fun.
But then rather the Donny duck stories - they aren't all that bad, to say it
in my dialect (ironic)
some have been quite funny - the indicator of goodness on many duck comics.
> I want Don Rosa and Carl Barks comics. Is too expensive stuff for that
> nonsense. If is I'll have for my money, I'll cut my subscription...
You can't only have Barks and Rosa - if they print all the Rosas in
on-each-other-following issues,
they they would have to start reprinting to fast, and barks will only be
reprinting.
Let's *also* see some of the new good artists, and the older classics - in a
good mix.
That's what I want, that's what I will pay for.
With the wishes you have, in all due respect you should have subsribed to
the Picsou in certain
periods of it's recent past, where french friends of mine has called it
Barks, Rosa and Co.(rephrasing)

Here's a link to an extensive review of Donald Ault's book
"Carl Barks Conversations":
http://www.eclectica.org/v7n3/mcgowin_barks.html
"Carl Barks Conversations" is published by University Press of
Mississippi (2003). It contains 238 pages. There's a hardback
and a paperback edition. It's also for sale via internet.
The review is written by Kevin McGowin. I haven't fully read it yet.
I just wanted to let you know the link, so you don't have to wait
for me to read it yourself.

As far as I know, these two Barks quotes have not been discovered so far.
Santiago and Larry, can you give an additional hint?
I would like to recommend that people who suggest a quote, also take
care of keeping that quote alive until it's guessed. By giving hints,
for example.

I have three responses to this:
1. Don't give them any tempting ideas.
2. I'm mentioned along with William Van Horn? Wow, I'm honored.
3. I think all Gemstone comics should consist of nothing but stories
written or drawn by Olaf Solstrand. If they ever run out of new
material, they can just reprint some of his old stuff.
Only joking, obviously.
