Introducing the next generation of
Disney superheroes!

*New Adventures for "Walt Disney's
Comics and Stories"!*
Mickey Mouse and pals reign supreme as undisputed stars of the animated
screen, but in the 1930s and 40s these Characters were equally popular in
comic books and newspaper strips. Walt Disney Publishing recently partnered
with BOOM! Studios<http://x.go.com/566305?eid=000015161&uid=8E16D3F6-FEB2-11D2-BE57-00A0C9E5C87D>to
re-launch its legendary comics -- and the anthology series couldn't
have
taken a more magical step from the golden age into the hands of kids today.

Located in Los Angeles, BOOM! is building a remarkable track record for a
company that's only been in business four years. After initial success
publishing Pixar and Muppets titles, Disney was excited to have the company
expand its offerings to include Mickey, Donald, and the gang. BOOM! CEO and
founder Ross Richie chats about the characters who have made "Walt Disney's
Comics and Stories" endure for generations.

Hi,

Trying to create some noise on this too silent list, I'm back writing
here after years since my last message, with a proposal to all of you.

For those who are interested, and who can read/perceive some Italian,
on Papersera (http://www.papersera.net) just started a game that might
be of some interest to you: I made a game consisting of a collection
of **virtual** Donald Duck related trading cards, with an album to
collect them.
They are virtual since they only exists on the website, are not for
sale or printed in any way.

I'll try to explain the "rules", but bear with me: it's already
difficult in Italian, in English I'm quite sure I won't made you
understand a lot... BTW, every day, hidden among the Papersera
webpages, are located from 1 to 5 packs, each containing 6 random
cards. By clicking on the pack, once you've found it, the cards will
"pop-up" and the ones you miss will be automatically added to your
album, wile the ones you might already own, will be available for you
to arrange exchanges with the other participants.

There are 562 cards to be found, and several weeks to "play" the game.
Well, I think that showing you how it works can make you understand it
better than my words, if you're interested take a look to the
following pages:

The album (55 pages):

Some explanations:

Where to exchange your doubles:

Where to read further informations, and ask for clarifications (also
in English):
http://www.papersera.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1265892147

In order to participate is required an account, you can get one on this page:
http://www.papersera.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?action=register

Feel free to ask me further informations, and enjoy this game!

- Paolo

Many thanks to Paolo for his efforts at Papersera!
As a teacher of Latin, who has some Italian training, I can understand some of the site!
The website obviously has taken many hours to construct! I think of Beru's website with all the scans of stories by Barks, Rosa, et al.
With Kindle and other so-called "e-books" I do wonder if Internet paperless publishing is not the best way to continue the tradition of
Disney Comics as handed down to us by Barks, Rosa, et al. On the other hand, perhaps the comic-book story
is obsolescent? Today's Wall Street Journal has an article on 3-D cartoons coming out this Spring and Summer, along with regular movies (over 20 total:
how does a $9.00 comic book compete with a $9.00 ticket to a 3-D movie? To be sure, you can keep and re-read the comic book.
But for the new "thrill me more" generations, that might be a difficult proposition to sell.
3-D Cartoons

Best Wishes!

I understand reading on computer means less dead trees, and that it
takes less physical space, but I still print documents to read them on
paper, and I sometimes I find I like to read it on a real-book-form.

In my opinion it should be investigated - there might be some demand for
Disney Comics e-books. As far as it is delivered with quality and on an
acessible format, it is another way to sell comic books. But I would
keep also the dead-trees branch of the business.

This is probably tue to Avatar, in the next months I'd expect some 3D
stuff.

You can ask the same question with a DVD/VHS release: if you buy your
copy you can keep it and watch as many times as you want.

Um, don't many people in this list still prefer hand-written lettering over
typesetting in comic books?

I realize that this may be a question without a satisfying answer, but does anyone know if there are any copies of the limited edition Complete Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse book (daily strips from 1930 to 1955) still available for sale? I've heard the book used to be carried by a German company called Dreidreizehn's, but they don't offer it anymore. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I bought my set some 10 years ago directly from the original publisher, Horst Schr?der. At the time it seemed he still had complete sets, though they were 20 years old back then. If you're lucky he might still have a few, but don't expect any discounts just because its an outdated publication ;-). I believe you can reach him through his company Epix (www.epix.se). Good luck!

Precisely, Mr. Schulte. And the issue of ownership of e-books will be
a critical one. Amazon has already discovered the disaffection that
could be created if the "rental" concept is allowed to take hold in
this market. And there can be no doubt that comic book readers/
collectors would be especially disgusted by it.
