Gemstone could use the take-along format well for an affordable Gottfredson
library.
Taking the example from the Taliaferro Library which seems to have ground to
a halt in all European countires by now, but only after publishing some 20
years of Donald Duck dailies, it would be possible to fit two or even three
dailies to each double-page spread (either chopped in halves or wide
across.)
This would allow a full years worth of strips in reasonably large size in
only 104 or 156 pages.
European pocket books are published with anywhere from 260 to 516 pages, so
it would be imaginable to produce a comple Floyd Gottfredson Library
spanning almost 50 years of daily strips in only ten volumes - an
appropriately similar number to another famous library.
Something of a noble purpose, if Gemstone is looking for one.

Your math is somewhat flawed. 1 double-page spread = 2 pages, so if 3
dailies can fit into 1 double-page spread, that means one year's worth
of Mickey dailies will take up 208 pages.
And I wouldn't want to see the strips chopped in halves or printed
across the spread. (Although the former solution is better than the
latter.)

Then, what about printing the dailies rotated 90 degrees, to be read from bottom
to top.
Gemstone could print two of them per page which means a full year of strips
would be only 156 pages.
That means we could get the entire Gottfredson librairy in English in a few
years!

I'd prefer the solution, Fran?ois mentions. Gladstone arranged the
strips like that in the later WDC&S, when Blaggard Castle and Mail Pilot
were printed. I sincerely hope Gemstone will obtain that newspaper
license sooner, so we'll be able to see the works of Gottfredson and
Taliaferro.
However, publishing all of his stories will not be possible, since lots
of stories were censored, and include scenes, that were accepted when
they were first published, eg. all the jokes about the nazis.

(My apologies, Richard: I replied directly to you rather than the list.)
I was just thinking of this yesterday. There's a series published
through Image Comics here in the USA called PvP (Player vs Player)
that uses the "rotated 90 degrees" format and has the books bound on
what would normally be the top (or bottom) of the page. (What I mean
is that our books are 10 1/8 by 13 1/4 inches when opened, while the
PvP books are more like 20 1/4 by 6 5/8. "Mickey Mouse in Color"
<http://www.diamondgalleries.com/item.asp?ItemNo=1748> used a similar
landscape format.) Judging from some of the Gladstone books (Comics &
Stories #605, 606 and 607 specifically) we could probably print three
dailies per page this way, which (assuming my math's correct) would
bring the page count to about 105 per year.
I'm not really in the "Gemstone publishing Gottfredson" loop, though,
so this is just my personal speculation and shouldn't be taken as
"official word" on such a project. All I can say is that I'm a Mickey
fan, and I would personally *love* to see Gottfredson's work made
available again.

First, I really don't understand how depicting Mickey fighting the Nazis
could be bad.
And now that Disney has been releasing its short feature sin unedited form,
with an introduction by Leonard Maltin regarding the touchy passages, the
same ought to be done for Gottfredson's strips.
The best thing would naturally be to have a Floyd Gottfredson Library--

Disney has always been VERY WONKY when it comes to releasing uncut versions
of anything. I dont know how they are overseas, but here in the states
theyve always had a tight leash on censorship of thier own material sadly.
:(
Personally I would KILL for a Gottfredson library done in the vein of the
Carl Barks library (I'm one of those people who looks at the Gottfredson
universe over Barks almost. He's my hero. XD), but I guess thats wishful
thinking. I know MANY people who discovered his work far after Gladstone's
wonderful Mickey Mouse comic run, myself included, that fell in love with
the mans work. As far as all the material itself goes its not necessarily
the nazi material and otherwise that would probably pose a problem, but the
rampant stereotypes that go along with them. I remember reading in one of
the old MM Gladstones (i cant remember which one) that they couldnt print
the original Trigger Hawkes story like they had planned because of the
questionable African-American steotypes that were in it. I'm a black male
myself and having read the story (which I loved) via one of those
obnoxiously crammed Abbeville Press books, I could see how someone with a
less open mind could see it as being very racist without understanding that
back in those days such a thing was perfectly acceptable.
The same would go for the Japanese stereotypes as well, especially during
the Nazi era. Then youve got Bill Walsh's Mickey stories which have an
unusually darker tone to them than most (which IMO makes them awesome), but
then we go back to Disney's very tiny mouse leash in the states. What I'm
saying pershaps when Gemstone acquires the newspaper liscence, a library
format for the Gottfredson material would be the best way to see this stuff
or perhaps random printings of previously unseen stories in the Take Along
books (I'd prefer the Bill Walsh stuff as they had only JUST begun to tap
it). But unlike the Barks library, I think they should provide certain
stories with a Leonard Maltin-esque disclaimer and maybe an article on the
history of the story (Gladstone/Gemstone is REALLY good at that kind of
stuff already) so maybe they can appease Disney should problems arise. You
have to look at every angle and nip problems in the bud before they even
arise.

Hi!
This came up in one Finnish message board. There seems to have been a
reprint of the Japanese version W.I.T.C.H. in Sweden, at least for the
first tankouban as one member had seen it by a friend's house and made
some comparisons to the Italian version. This was all news to me and
immeaditely started googling for more info. Sadly I couldn't find any
mention of the said reprint or any possibility to order it. I was
wondering if any Swede (or anyone else) here would know something more
about it, like when it was published and by who. Or any way I could
still get it?

Egmont published the first volume of Haruko Iida's Japanese version of
W.i.t.c.h. sometime during last year as part of the W.i.t.c.h. Special
series (ISSN 1650-6670). The first volume takes up less than half of
the first pocket (ja 'tank?bon'/???). The Swedish issue ends at what
is page 85 in the Japanese pocket (Haruko Iida, 'Witch dai 1-kan',
Kadokawa Shoten December 2003, ISBN 4-04-924955-3, cover by Daisuke
Ehara). The story is published unmirrored, but the cover, ads,
editorial pages and printed page numbers still follow the usual Western
reading direction, causing the page numbers going backwards when reading
the story. No further parts of the Japanese version of W.i.t.c.h. have
been published here so far.

is page 85 in the Japanese pocket (Haruko Iida, 'Witch dai 1-kan',
Kadokawa Shoten December 2003, ISBN 4-04-924955-3, cover by Daisuke
Ehara). The story is published unmirrored, but the cover, ads,
editorial pages and printed page numbers still follow the usual Western
reading direction, causing the page numbers going backwards when reading
the story. No further parts of the Japanese version of W.i.t.c.h. have
been published here so far.

Thanks for the info. I've been dying to read the Japanese story in some
language I understand and see how it differs from the Italian version.
Got to go I see if I can find it in a bookstore. Or maybe we even see it
in Finland some time in the future since it's already come out in
Sweden.

Gottfredson in Gemstone

In my message of a few weeks ago where I brought up the matter of Gottfredson stories for the Take Along comics, it was because I felt that many of his stories would be a suitable length for that format ( and that the stories could compete well with the more "modern" stories for readership acceptance). However this does not exclude the gag-a-day stories, or the very long Gottfredson stories which could be broken up in WDC&S and MM and Friends and used as cliff hangers. I would hope that the support expressed by the 'Gottfredson in Gemstone' messages would be taken note by Gemstone staff contributors to DCML including Gary Leach, David Gerstein, and Travis Seitler. C'mon Gemstone -- and the King of Collectors Mr. Geppi -- please give us back the Gottfredson stories.

Simpsons Comics #102 (02/2005) has a whole issue parody of (or tribute
to) Carl Barks' Donald Duck. It even features a "floating key of Strobl"
and "ancient tribes of Taliaferro".
You can find the cover ("Homer Simpson finds Pirate Gold") and some
interior panels here:
http://www.wiljes.de/fun/simpsons_102/index.php
Ian Boothby, regular writer of Simpson Comics is a great new talent. His
Simpsons storys are always imaginative and immensely funny. I would love
to see a "real" Duck story by Mr. Boothby!

It's nice to know, that some artists from other areas than Disney
appreacite Disney comics and Barks; just a shame most kids won't get the
jokes, as they're insider jokes.

Hmm, I think it's a copy of "Ghost in the grotto", rather than Donald
Duck finds Pirate Gold. Try looking at those two covers again, and tell
me, that you think the cover looks like the pirate gold one.

Thanks for the scans. I've only looked at the cover, though.

Yes, you are correct. The original cover is from "The Ghost of the
Grotto" (FC 159), drawn by Carl Buettner.
Best wishes,
