I've only seen W.I.T.C.H. available in the form of short novels
for young readers, with some comics pages included. The books are available at Amazon.com and are all written by Elizabeth Lernhard. Nine of these novels
are set to be released - so far, only the first one, (THE POWER OF FIVE) is available.
It seems that W.I.T.C.H. is being marketed to fans of the T.V. shows "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" and "Charmed," since the latter series features three witches who cast spells branded "The power of three."

Darkwing Duck in Disney "Supers"

I think Darkwing Duck's FIRST EVER appearance was in issue #1 of a self-titled mini-series published by Disney Comics a whole month before his t.v. show premired.
Of course, the comic was an adaptation of an episode from the series, but it WAS his first appearance. So maybe he does belong on the collage of Disney "Supers", eh?

Hell everyone!
Mickey:
>>>> a) Where/when has it been the first comic rendez-vous between Mickey
Mouse
>>>> and Pete Leg?
Do you mean, the first time they appeared together in a comic strip or a
comic book?
Pete first appeared in "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley" (April 1 - Sept 20,
1930-- the second continuity) on April 12 (in silhouette) and April 21 (for
real). His name, "Pegleg Pete", was first mentioned on April 24.
He appeared again in a few continuities, several months apart (like Scrooge,
who didn't become a main character overnight).
Pete was "redesigned" for "The Captive Castaways" (Jan 10 - April 17, 1934),
in which he first appears on February 21.
The design was slightly reworked in "Editor-in Grief" (March 4 - June 1,
1935), which he first appears on April 6; on March 28, one of his henchmen
referred to him as "Looey, the Leg"-- a bit larger.
>>>>And is the latter really legless, at least in the first
>>>> classical appeareances?
Pete really does have a peg leg. He got a whole new artificial leg in "The
Mystery at Hidden River" (Oct 6, '41 - Jan 17, '42)-- a "new model store
leg" (Oct 21). Gottfredson explained the peg leg had been dropped in the
cartoons because it looked painful-- especially as the animators captured
too well teh way the weight shifted from one leg to the other. Pete kept his
nickname.
>>>>> b) Why is Duckburg named so if it's been founded by a Coot?
I think it's simply because the town was baptized by the authors
(Taliaferro? Barks?) before Barks invented Cornelius Coot.

It's a too simple answer :) I thought Don Rosa had given some *narrative*

Oh, he has.
According to Don Rosa, Duckburg was built upon the old Fort Drakeborough,
founded by Sir Francis Drake. Coot decided to modernize the name - "drake"
being old English for "duck" and "borough" meaning "city"... So he changed
it to Duckburg.

Yep! Scarpa did a very short (one or two minutes) clip with Scrooge, HDL and
the BB as a test for Duck Tales, but that was it, never actually happened
after that. In my opinion animation and character design there were way
better than what we actually see in Duck Tales.

To list:
Would anyone mind sending an American a copy of Aku Ankka number 9 with
A Letter from Home? Or can I be directed to a place to order it that I can
read in English? Even though I can't read the story because of the language,
I'm dying to see the pictures. Normally, I would wait for the U.S. version,
but I've wanted to see this one for a long time. However, I can only send
money in United States dollars. Thanks everyone!
