Hi all!

Travis Seitler sent me an email explaining what happened with MMF 271 and
since he apparently meant the email to go to the DCML as well as to me, here it
is below:

Derek (et al.),

Quebecor apparently had a binding error with their final batch: if you'll
notice, the same thing should have occurred with pages 1-4 and 5-8 of that
issue, too. I don't at present have an exact number of copies affected by
this error, but we have been assured by Quebecor that this is only the case
for a very small minority of the books.

We first noticed this with the advance copies we got straight from Quebecor
last week. Once we brought it to Quebecor's attention, we sent the alert to
Diamond Comic Distributors' distribution centers to run spot-checks on their
inventory of MMF #271 before copies were sent out to retailers. They did,
but didn't find any other mis-bound copies.

I've passed along notice to "the powers that be" here at Gemstone that (at
least one of) our readers has received one of these "error" copies. They're
going to work out a game plan, and we hope to have some sort of answer for
you really soon.

Since this is just a problem with a small minority of copies, it's not
likely that we'll reprint the missing pages in a future issue... but we
aren't going to leave you in the dark about Doc Static's "Santa crisis".
Just think of it as a (really lame) cliffhanger!

Seriously, though: I apologize for the trouble, and we'll get things ironed
out as soon as we can.

***
If anyone else has received one of these mis-bound books, please contact me
off-list <stravis at gemstonepub.com> so that I can keep track of who's been
affected (without clogging DCML).

Thanks for your patience!

I don't remember whether this has been answered:

If you want to see a website with scans of covers, go to
http://outducks.org (or to http://covers.outducks.org for a nice web
interface). Most of Eega Beeva's site is now there.

Germund:
>>I am not sure how many of you are interested in Paul Murry's [non-Disney]
work

Santiago:
>>I surely am. Thanks a lot for this great website, for it is hard to find
>>Murry 's work (especially non-Disney's, from which I just knew about Woody

>>Woodpecker's).

I have heard about Murry's Woody Woodpecker art, but I have never acutually
seen it.
Does anybody know if there's a site somewhere on the Internet that shows
some samples of it?

Thank you and kind regards to everyone,
Niels

I don't know of any web site that shows Murry's WW work but Klaus
Spillman's excellent Murry checklist includes a list of the stories:

I was looking at some of the scans located in Outducks, and wanted to
take a look at the US Phantom Blot covers. I always thought that there
were 7 issues of this comic, but here I found the cover-scan of issue
number 8, featuring the Phantom Blot and Popeye! This puzzled me a lot,
and I couldn't find some more information in Inducks. Does anybody know
anything more about this comic? Who wrote it and drew it? What was it
about? Why this strange 'team-up'? Why isn't it in Inducks?

Well, I can only say that the US cover gallery was originally created by
former DCML-member Eta Beta, who
1) is very good at playing with Photoshop
2) has a great sense of humour

:-)

Ciao,
Armando
(BTW, the Popeye-Phantom Blot cover is not the only "intruder", if I
recall...)

Thank you very much.
I will keep my eyes open for the Woody issues on Spillman's list.
