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.

Hello,I came across your post for this item with a link for it listed on ebay. From what I can tell this was posted in 2001. I am curious to your experience with selling this item. I myself have #12 of 12 that I purchased at the SanDiego ComicCon in 1994 from the same people. I was contemplating selling it but have yet to research what it is worth and thought you might have some insight. I also thought it was pretty cool to find something on the web about it being that it is such a limited run.Thank you for your time,Scott

Unfortunately, the ever-increasing electronic takeover of our kids' world will not allow comics (especially Disney comics) to be around for many more years. At least in the U.S.A.

Future of Comic Books

Greetings!
Paper comic books, like newspapers, may indeed not be around by the end of the century. I recently saw an advertisement on TV about the iPad from Apple: something like that might preserve the idea of a comic book for the future.
On the other hand, children might wonder why the cartoons don't move, and why they have to read the story, rather than watching and listening passively.
We will see what happens to literacy in this century: one would think that it would be increasing, and be seen as more important than ever. But as a teacher I can tell you that reading ability is declining.
American literary critic Sven Birkerts wrote a rather pessimistic analysis of the "future of reading in an electronic age" in 1996 called The Gutenberg Elegies.

Best Wishes!

I agree with Dux, I have witnessed the same with fellow teachers among the less fortunate classes. Our obversations are that many children are raised (or baby sat) by the tv sets. Unfortunately, unlike the fifties/sixties when the 4:00 to 6:00 tv programmation was reserved for kid-friendly shows (remember Mickey Mouse Club, Sesame Street, Mr Rogers...), it has been replaced by Oprah, Ricky Lake, Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, Charlie Rose) each trying to outdo themselves with gorier and weirder stories of family disasters & disruption.
There is a huge difference in the "peace level" and the "education level" (i.e. the basic knowledge base) of my students from 20 years ago to now - for the worse
Comics can be a powerful tool to help students learn on their own if the parents are not involved - observations made in the USA.
Thank you, L

I also noticed how much children, even at the youngest age, recognize and appreciate quality. Not only do they instinctively prefer Barks' stories over others' but they even know which Barks stories they like best. They are very good critics.
