Hi all! :)

pages, FC $6.95

Mickey Mouse Adventures #6 --- Mickey teams up with Captain Churchmouse for
Dave Rawson's (is this story from 2015?) pulse-pounding pirate yarn "The Dragon

Ferdie soccer story, wraps the book. 7x10, 32 pages, FC $2.95

Uncle Scrooge #347 --- Don Rosa's long-awaited sequel to Carl Barks'
"Forbidden Valley," entitled, appropriately, "Return to Forbidden Valley," is the lead
deature and the subject for the cover of this issue. Join Scrooge and the

Beagles, and Fethry are also included. SC, 7x10, 64 pages, FC $6.95

Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #662 --- Donald Duck stars in William Van
Horn's "To Well and Back," then Mickey in "Vacation Brake!" by Dave Rawson and
Feroli. Mau Heymans and Dick Matena offer Neighbor Jones and Big Bad Wolf
adventures. Fethry Duck meets sociopathic hillbilly Hard Haid Moe in Kinney's and
Hubbard's "It's Music?" And more! SC, 7x10, 64 pages, FC $6.95

I thought the Volume 1 attached to the Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge TPB was
interesting. Any hints on the what and when of Volume 2? Anyway, looks like a
promising month overall.

With the help of other Italian friends, I've drawn up a synopsis of a
possible "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck", following the stories created
by our authors in these decades. The main references are Guido Martina (our
most important writer) and Marco Rota (with his "life of Donald Duck"), but
we took something from various sources.
Obviously, in order to put the pieces together, some inferences were
necessary, but nothing significant.
You could be shocked by the difference with Rosa's work...

Actually not even the first incarnation was complete, since the
greater part of 1995 also belongs to that.

* 1. disney-comics: Managed by hand. 1992-08--
* 2. dcomics: Managed with SmartList. 1995-11--
* 3. dcml: Managed with Mailman. 1999-11--

Three years ago I added the first few months of the list to the
current list archive for nostalgic reasons. That was the day the list
turned 10 years old. Today it's 13 years old. (A teenager!)

Because of this I've rebuilt the list web archive with all of the
first incarnation now, available at
<http://stp.ling.uu.se/pipermail/dcml/>.

My intention was of course to restore the full archive today as a
birthday gift, but, alas, I can't find the archives of the second
incarnation myself! I know I should have it somewhere! (Maybe when the
list turns 313 years old...)

I should be able to find it on a backup tape if nowhere else, but
meanwhile I'm also interested in what other complete collections from
that time there are.

Wondering if anyone saw this solicitation under Amazing Ink in the new Previews:

HAUNTED MANSION 1
by Roman Dirge and various Welcome foolish mortals to The Haunted Mansion. Featuring stories inspired by the favorite Disney attraction, The Haunted Mansion is a bi-monthly anthology comic featuring some of SLG's favorite creators. Not based on the movie, Haunted Mansion will tell the stories of the 999 happy haunts that call the mansion home. The first issue features a cover by Lenore creator Roman Dirge. Interior stories will feature work by Dirge, Serena Valentino, Darren W. Frydenhall, Jon 'Bean' Hastings and a host of others.

Can we count this as a Disney comic?

As I haven't read about that bit of info before:

That complete HC series will also be published in German with a run
of 3333 copies, containing 10 boxes of 3 HC-books at the price of 150
Euro per box. Whereas it is discussed whether that number can be
sold, Egmont states that their preorder list is already exceeding the
copies available. The website for that is
www.barks.de.

It will contain the Fuchs translations as revised by herself in the
later years (not her first translations), if I remember correctly.
The new German spelling rules will only be applied in the commentary
text, not in the comics themselves.

There's a Barks 1950s ten-pager about Scrooge spending money to get rid
of it (WDC 144), a plan that fails because Scrooge unconsciously spends
it to his own factories and businesses, so that he gets almost the same
big surplus of money at the end.

Would this model work that way in real life, or did Barks use a huge
artistic liberty to tell the story? If one would spend money at his/her
own business, then a lot of money would be spend in the costs of the
production, wouldn't it? Then how can Scrooge get almost the same money
at the end?

Can someone explain this?

Reading the Dutch 'Extra Donald Duck Extra 2005-07', I have some
questions:

In Rosa-adventure 'A Letter From From Home' (D 2003-081), Scrooge is
mourning over never having received letters from his father, and about
not knowing whether or not his father is proud of him. This raises
questions when reading Lo$8 and Lo$9.
In Lo$8 Scrooge gets letters from his mother and father.
In Lo$9 Scrooge meets his farther in Scotland, and he tells Scrooge
that he is proud of him, which is celebrated with a party.
How does this match with the mourning and misunderstandings in 'A
Letter From Home'?

In another Egmont-story (D 2003-055), by Pat McGreal and Carol McGreal,
there's a scouting giving away prizes of *pure gold*. How can a scouting
be so rich?

Is there an explanation for these questions?
