To "Kneon":

I assume the "k" is silent?

As far as I know through information here, you should contact "Boom" Comics, since they seem to have the license now for Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge.

Best Wishes!

Was this series of Italian Topolino books in English?

The two pictures attached - both have text in english. It says the
publisher is a company called 'Comic Art' and that they were limited edition
albums by Disney.

Anyone can tell me what the quality is like? Inducks doesn't seem to have
interior pictures of these books - just covers.

A few sound effects and signs are in English, but apart from that, all of the
text is in Italian.

My modest contribution to Donadl's birthday...

I had another idea for a drawing this evening (I have not drawn the first one), and have just uploaded it onto my site:
http://bobcat74.free.fr/events/donald075/donald075.htm

Even though I'm late for Asia & Europe, I am on time for Donald's anniversary: it's still June 9 in Calisotta ! ;)

Hello all!

What might be this odd-sounding story?

"One Donald Duck issue revealed that a giant octopus called Ar-Finn sleeps beneath the depths in a sunken city. Our reality (or at least Donald's) exists only because Ar-Finn dreams about it. But if he wakes up, the world will start to adapt to his image, with the architecture becoming more and more alien and the people more octopoid in appearance. Also interesting to note is that Ar-Finn's subconscious mind manifests as humans in our world; a good guy who wants the dream to continue and a evil guy who wants the dream to end. It was awfully cynical for a Disney story, especially the ending, where Donald is horrified to find out that our whole existence is just a dream. Probably as close to Lovecraftian standards as Disney will come for the foreseeable future."

I haven't seen any mention of the Disney duck books being picked up by Boom
Studios anywhere on their site. The only mention of anything Disney related
is the Disney/Pixar Muppet comics deal from May which isn't duck related.

I haven't seen any mention of this online... Should I assume this
is speculation - or did it actually happen? If so, can anybody show me a
reliable source?

Thanks

Maybe not crap, but certainly very painful. A forced, nonsensical plot, that
drags on and on, with a high-tech coloring scheme that fails to add anything
to the rather poor art.

Here in Greece, the story was accompanied by a toy (I think it was PK's car)
that came in parts that had to be assembled. When the issue with the last part
of the toy was published, I was glad that the story was finally over, only to
discover that the story had more parts than the toy.

Or anywhere else, actually. Super Daisy? Super Gladstone? Super Fethry? Super
Gus Goose?

Now, if you are not calling Ultraheroes crap, I wonder if you reserve this
honor for Wizards of Mickey. I just read the story (it was published as a
two-volume summer special, here in Greece), and it's actually quite good. I
agree, though, that it is not the best choice for a monthly comic book, even
if an entire episode is printed on each issue. From the way the story is
structured, it is obvious that the Wizards' creators understood that, reading
one chapter a week, readers might easily lose track of the plot. Reading one
chapter a month, taking more than a year to finish the story, is too much.
