Interesting to see those many scans that you have "stolen" from
the old raptus.dk site :-) It's perfectly okay--now, since the
site doesn't exist anymore. I am only happy that they've become
useful in one way or another...

So Ehapa/Egmont did not send you an author's copy? If you ask them they
will probably correct this oversight.
Here is a scan of your articles in "Hall of Fame: Roman Scarpa":
http://www.wiljes.de/tmp/scarpa.pdf (7 MB!)
The two articles you asked for are shorter annotations, probably taken
from longer articles.
BTW: The yellowing towards the spine is intentionally printed in the
book, not a result of bad scanning.
BTW2: Of course Scarpa made it into the list of Top100Comics some
friends and I created some years ago:

OK. Wasn't this one of the reasons to Don Rosa's strike a few years
ago, i.e. that he didn't get author's copies of issues containing his
stories? Has something about this changed during the latest years, or
are articles different compared to stories in this sense?

They sometimes do. I wrote a few short articles about distinctions in the
two first Scandinavian Hall of Fame-books, and I got author's copies of
the Norwegian editions of those books. But not of all publications of
these articles on a worldwide basis, no. My impression of the Norwegian
branch of Egmont Serieforlaget, which does a lot of editorial work on
books and such things, normally send a copy of the book to the people
who's written articles in these books. Though I can understand why the
same thing isn't done for every publication of that same article on a
worldwide basis.

DISCLAIMER: The following paragraphs are pure speculation. I do not have
any special insights into the interior mechanisms of comic books
publishers. What I do know however is how businesses are run and why
sometimes things don't work as they are supposed to ;-)
The main reason why publishers often do not send out free copies to
authors is, I think,
+ NOT the cost of the book (absolutely negligible)
+ NOT the shipping costs
+ BUT RATHER: the amount of work necessary to keep track who actually
are tho book's authors and where they live
So the problem probably isn't money - but time. There has to be someone
whose job description includes "send out author's copies". If there
isn't no one will find the time to do it, even if everybody has good
intentions.
I believe every publisher will send out one (or more) free author's
copies if they are specifically asked for a certain book. But they may
not find the time to do this automatically for every publication.
In the case of authors like Don Rosa or Vicar, whose works are published
a lot by Ehapa here in Germany, I suppose Ehapa would rather be willing
to send out *every* new German Disney publication to them. This may in
fact be easier (and thereby cheaper) than trying to filter only those
which contain stories by the respective author. It may not hurt to ask
Ehapa for this.

Jeff, thanks for the kudos for "Somewhere." I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
As for doing a long version, I doubt that this is something that'd happen in
the near future. I haven't even showed that version of the synopsis to any
of my Disney editors. But, yeah, I think the epic-length version of this
story would be kind of cool.
Whether that'll ever happen--or even should happen--is not something I'm
going to worry about right now though because...well, something else has
come up regarding "Somewhere."
Both Gemstone and Egmont have expressed interest in having me go back to
Carl Barks' original synopsis and do that 10-12 page story without all the
extras that were thrown in when "Somewhere" was expanded.
This is something that I've wanted to do for a long time. I never felt
comfortable deviating from Carl's synopsis. And I'm a hard-core Barks fan so
I would like to see the story done the way Carl originally intended it.
I don't want to keep re-writing the same story the rest of my life. The
challenge for me would be to stick tightly to Carl's original synopsis and
to make it seem fresh and unique--rather than just a shortened-version of
"Somewhere."

There's the truth of it. There is no one whose job it is to send out
author's - or "comp" - copies. In fact, it's not required of anyone.
It is done as a courtesy, which means that 1) it's a good thing to
do, and should be done, but also 2) that it has no practical priority
in the workflow.

Perhaps not every publisher will necessarily do this, but I have yet
to hear of one that wouldn't, within reason.

Whether this is Ehapa's view or not, it is a pretty fair description
of a fairly common practice.

In the latest two issues of Swedish Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) & co a kind
of sequel to the classic Gottfredson story Mickey Mouse and the seven
ghosts from 1937 was published. It contains the house, Colonel Bassotti
and another character from the original that I don't want to reveal
here. I didn't spot that character myself until it was revealed in the
story itself who it was.
It is beautifully drawn by Cesar Ferioli who have drawn Mickey, Goofy
and Donald in the same style as in the 1937 original. I must ask you Mr
Ferioli since you seem to be following this list if the drawing style
was your idea or the writers? Also I noticed at least one drawing of
Donald that was an exact copy from the original, was that your idea ?
Anyhow my compliments to you for the drawings, I really liked them !

Hi Ola!
First of all I want to clarify something...
Doc Static=Ferioli
Mi old e-mail adress didn't work since a long time ago and a new "identity"
was the only way to receive again e-mails from the list. I'm a complete
*Goofy* on internet matters, I must say!
Well... I'm glad you liked the story. The script took backgrounds and
characters from "Mickey and the Seven Ghosts" as you well say, story
inspired in "Lonesome Ghosts", an old animation short...
There wasn't any order from the scripter nor the editor about. I decided
drawing old characters on my own, I think it was logic and the only way
possible.
Take the main characters for instance: readers have seen them evolving
through the years, so nowadays is "normal" that Mickey or Donald has nothing
to see with the old thirties characters... What could you think at seeing
Col. Basset "modernized" in a shot without seeing a logical process through
the years?
Thereby I preferred to keep as long as possible harmony in main and
secondary characters and, of course, backgrounds. Surely you can find some
"identhical" characters, I always had Gottfredson' story under my eyes
during the process.
I want to make clear it has been one of the hardest stories I've ever done:
more than "copy" a style is trying to change your own style into another one
(it happened to me also in "Mickey's Trailer") but at the end I had a reward
wich didn't deserve me... The opportunity of working deeply on the style of
Gottfredson in the thirties. You know, since Disney artists dont't make our
*own* characters, it's important to get back to the original sources from
time to time, that's an exercise I lively suggest to my colleagues...

First of all I want to clarify something...
Doc Static=Ferioli
Mi old e-mail adress didn't work since a long time ago and a new "identity"
was the only way to receive again e-mails from the list. I'm a complete
*Goofy* on internet matters, I must say!
Well... I'm glad you liked the story. The script took backgrounds and
characters from "Mickey and the Seven Ghosts" as you well say, story
inspired in "Lonesome Ghosts", an old animation short...
There wasn't any order from the scripter nor the editor about. I decided
drawing old characters on my own, I think it was logic and the only way
possible.
Take the main characters for instance: readers have seen them evolving
through the years, so nowadays is "normal" that Mickey or Donald has nothing
to see with the old thirties characters... What could you think at seeing
Col. Basset "modernized" in a shot without seeing a logical process through
the years?
Thereby I preferred to keep as long as possible harmony in main and
secondary characters and, of course, backgrounds. Surely you can find some
"identhical" characters, I always had Gottfredson' story under my eyes
during the process.
I want to make clear it has been one of the hardest stories I've ever done:
more than "copy" a style is trying to change your own style into another one
