Sad news from Finland:

<<
Finnish ex-editor-in-chief Markku Kivek?s passed away quietly in his sleep last Thursday night. He was only 60 years old, but in his last years he had serious health problems. Duck fans all over Finland will miss him very much.
>>

Markku was also one of the early-day indexers, a.o. publishing articles and indexes about Carl Barks in the Finnish fanzine SARJAINFO.

Is there anyone who can do a detailed comparison and tell me if there are
any differences between the most recent reprint of Race To The South Seas
from Walt Disney Treasures and the original in MOC 41?

I have this story reprinted. Though I don't see the necessity of having the
original unless it's the only way to have the original Barks art. It's abit
hard to tell with Daan Jippes because his stuff is a bit closer to Barks.
Anyone know if the Abbeville Press reprint is any good?

Thanks.

Since the illustration on the cover is in b&w, I assume these will be not
colorized; good news.
so, I myself will be pausing collecting the italian reprints from the 1970s.
the 360 page length is also tentatively good news. there is more than one
thousand strips in the period covered in this v?olume, so if they will be
printing three strips on each page, they will be printing all of them.
keep my fingers crossed that they won't skip or re-edit anything, so I'll
quit collecting the Italian reprints for good..

Doesn't look like this will have anything to do with mice or fowl.

Hi folks,

I haven't posted here in a very long time, but I thought some of you

http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different

I bought my copy of Gemstone's latest US, #375, March 2008. The long
story is a reprint of Barks' "Twenty-four Carat Moon" US #24, Dec.
1958. The front cover is by Daan Jippes, featuring Scrooge in a space suit
leaping out of a rocket ship, being greeted by "little green men". But the
cover is not actually based on anything in Barks' story. The little green
men on the cover are not similar to Barks' green space alien,
Muchkale. Instead, they are closely related to the 2 little aliens in
Barks' story "Island in the Sky", US #29, March 1960, page 7, panels
7-8. This was only a cameo appearance for these mini-asteroid dwellers,
who did not interact with the ducks. But other than the similar little
green men, Daan Jippes' cover has no close connection with this Barks'
outer space story, either. So does anyone know what Jippes' original
purpose was for this cover art?
Best wishes, Larry Giver.

Hi Larry,

I looked up the cover, and it seems to be re-use of this one:
http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=HC+DD1995-33

This cover has (according to Inducks) previously been used only one time:
The Dutch Donald Duck magazine #33/1995.

However, nothing space-relevant seems to be on print in that magazine: I
haven't read the main story, but the title and description sounds like
it's about a big pumpkin. The second-longest story is a Mickey where
Mickey must take care of a pig. None of the other stories in that issue
has more than four pages. Neither does the cover has Inducks xref data
saying that it's a reference to a story.

So my guess is that the cover is meant to be a simple gag, with no
relation to a specific story at all. I can't say it's a gag I really
understand that much, but there's really nothing even vaguely related to
space in that issue. In fact, SCROOGE doesn't even appear in that issue AT
ALL! (cover excluded)

Then of course, this could be a cover that was drawn for one purpose and
used for another -- and in that case, only Daan Jippes and the fine lads
at Sanoma Uitgevers knows for sure.

Best,
Olaf Moriarty Solstrand
