Hi Niels!

Here is a link to a website where most of the second-hand comic shops in
Norway are listed:

Good luck to you all!

Hi everybody.

There's an interview with Gemstone owner Steve Geppi here:

The interview was conducted in mid-2003, but hasn't been published until
now.

Is W.I.T.C.H. really any good? I've yet to see a non-Japanese "manga"
imitation of much quality, as they seem to try to follow manga-based cliches at the
expense of a good story. (This sometimes applies to the art; the artists should
just *be themselves.*)

I think W.I.T.C.H. would sell really well in the US, especially stocked with
"real" manga in mainstream book stores.

Of interest to some might be the cigar labels from the Netherlands. Five sets each with different colors and ten different duck scenes in a set.

Dane Martin asked: Is W.i.t.c.h. any good?

I started buying W.i.t.c.h. because of the fresh, new drawing style (for a
Disney comic) and the sophisticated coloring. In the beginning it looked
promising. The different personalities of the five girls were well-defined
and consistent. The details of clothing and backgrounds were marvellous -
somebody put a lot of work into that.

I stopped buying it after about 18 issues because the art became cruder.
Thick, hurried ink lines instead of the flowing elagant style they had in
the beginning. Also, it became to "super-heroish". I find it difficult to
identify with super-heroes who are TOO powerful. This is why I like
Spider-man better than Superman.

As for the Manga art, I think the future of comics will be dominated by a
fusion of the best from Manga and western drawing styles. The result should
be interesting.

Sometimes I decide to solve some doubts of mine... for your misfortune! I
hope you'll be able to answer.
a) Where/when has it been the first comic rendez-vous between Mickey Mouse
and Pete Leg? And is the latter really legless, at least in the first
classical appeareances?
b) Why is Duckburg named so if it's been founded by a Coot?
c) Excluding Don Rosa's work, who said that HDL are children of Donald's
*sister*? (The first appearance, you know, talked about a cousin)
Thanks and bye
