Olivier (asking about the Dark Horse edition of "Little Lulu")
>Are there any essays, as in the Hamitlon/Cochran sets?

Nope - no essays or covers, just the stories in black/white and in
chronological order.

I got Disney's comics and stories 666 last week which i had bought especially for Mickey's Inferno and i have been pleased with the quality of the paper, printing and overall with the magazine; that was the first time i read this classic story because it seems there hasn't been a translation in France, i don't know whether that is due to the content of some situations, since amongst other things, the teachers are especially mistreated in the story; anyway, this is worth reading for two esential points : firstly, the beginning of the story, when we see both Mickey and Goofy turned into antics poets by a Fakir and walking through, once out of the theater, the streets of the modern city, is mesmerizing, as if there weren't boundaries between the fake universe of the stage and reality; the second enjoyable thing of the story is in its visionary images and situations full of imagination, this is mostly a visual story, the plot and the intrigue are not the most important here, and the story earns a lot thanks to its atmosphere; this is a tale which also mixes the Disney's universe in a rather unusually way since we meet a substantial amount of Disney's characters which are normally spread into different worlds and stories; we meet Dumbo, Donald and his nephews, Pete and so on...there is other italian stories gathering a lot of commonly separated Disney's characters with some legendary - fairy tales undertones : i can quote two from memory : Donald au pays des nains-longs aka Paperino e l'oro di reno ovvero l'an ello dei nani lunghi ( what a title! ), and 'Capitaine Fracas' aka Paperin Fracassa.
Coming back to Disney's Inferno, it would be a good thing since Gemstone started publishing this Guido Martina's story by completing it with an almost unknown classic outside Italia called Topolino e il cobra bianco.

Hi!
Does anyone of you have this issue of German Micky Maus :
http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php/x/de/MM1962-35
This issue, mistakenfully depicted as 1965-35 is Asger Pedersen's work, is
the only publication of the story "Duckburg, USA" ("Professor Primus von Quacks
Geistestat Nr. 1"), W LVD 1-02, from 1961, in which we can read that Ludwig's
ancestor Hofrat von Quack married Grandma's aunt, making Ludwig a distant
cousin of Donald. Even if it's an invention of the translators it has been
considered as a fact by several researchers.

Is it possible for somebody here to provide a scan of the panel in which this
is told? or at least tells us in which panel and which page of the story
this is told?

Here are a couple of web pages you might find interesting. The first
one discusses some aspects of Paul Murry's art work. The second is an
attempt to discover Donald Duck's "real" birthday:

- Bob Bishop -

My wife is playing some really hard video game equivalent of those "Find the Hidden Objects" pages we first saw in the doctor's waiting room as we thumbed through "Highlights for Children". Just now she asked me what a sextant looks like. I do, so I went over and looked over her shoulder to help her locate the one hidden in the picture on her screen. After spotting it, I realized (and proudly announced to my wife) that the first place I saw a sextant identified by name was in the pages of a Carl Barks Donald Duck story (The Golden Helmet). So, I've just seized upon this idea for a discussion thread where we could share some of the little factoids we first learned from Duck comics.

I'll throw in another one, which I only just learned from Don Rosa's Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck: The obscure "'Law of Apex' of 1849 says that whoever owns land where an ore vein is closest to the surface owns the entire vein."

Bob Bishop:

My friend, I just loved your disgression about DD's
birthdate, along with Murry's mooons business. That's
a real comics' investigator job!

I'll review my grandparents' old letters in the case
they mention such a rainy night back in 1914... ;-)

Santiago.
