Finding The First Two Years of Don Rosa to give you the link to the first
book required searching for a story, as I could not find it otherwise.
Unless someone can come up with a list they already have, I?m afraid you?ll
have to go through the INDUCKS pages of every single Rosa story and check
the list of USA publications.
There may very well be a way to make the search easier, though; I have not
found it in the INDUCKS?s Advanced Search pages, but I?m sure Fran?ois must
have included some way to distinguish softcovers and hardcovers from comics,
and thus to search for them only.

Back to Melville in my case.
Back to Rosa, now.
I suppose you?re familiar with his
non-Disney-but-really-Disney-Ducks-in-human-guise comics, The Pert Willaby
Papers; have you been able to get a copy of Gazette Bok?s The Don Rosa
Archives (two hardcover volumes)? I hope you were, or that you will, because
they are worth having as such, and as the ?drafts? (so to speak) for several
of Rosa?s Duck adventures.

Katja,
Back in 1997 Gladstone published four albums called UNCLE SCROOGE ADVENTURES IN COLOR (Parts One, Two, Three and Four) collecting "THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF MCDUCK ADVENTURES BY KENO DON ROSA" (as declared near the bottom of the sidebar). This consisted of "Son of the Sun" through "Fiscal Fitness". These are the only collections of duck stories by Rosa in English that don't focus on the "Life of Scrooge" series that I'm aware of.

There is no standard way to specify whether a publication is a comic magazine,
daily newspaper, softcover book, hardcover book or any other kind of
publication, so it is not currently possible to design the kind of search that
you are looking for.
In some countries, people use categories for separating some kinds of
publications, but the names of these categories are not standardised and may
differ from country to country. In the USA, the only category currently in use
is "newspapers" (so it is currently only possible to split up USA publications
in two groups: "daily newspapers" and "everything else"). Anyway, there doesn't
seem to be any search option for only finding prints of stories published in
publications belonging to specific categories.

Katja Kontturi's Thesis - American vs. European Authors
Message 21 -
2010-12-18 at 16:06:59
Greetings to all!
A suggestion to Katja: I know that Don Rosa used to follow the comments here, and used to write comments himself. You might consider writing to him directly about your thesis. According to one website, his e-mail address is now deleted, but his postal address is :
9711 Dawson Hill Rd.
Louisville, KY 40299
USA
On a successor to Carl Barks and Don Rosa and American vs. European authors: the creation of cartoon stories is not easy. And as Don Rosa lamented throughout his tenure, the compensation presents difficulties. Nevertheless, some new genius must exist somewhere! It is a matter of opportunities coming together to catalyze such a person.
I must admit that I have never warmed to European authors of Duck stories, with the exception of some stories by Daan Jippes. The Italian authors have their fans, but again neither the art nor the stories have ever grabbed me. Perhaps there is a difference in what Americans and the French, Italians, Germans, etc. find funny and interesting. (Ultimately Americans are Europeans, even those whose families did not come from Europe: the Western Heritage, beginning with Greece and Rome and revived by Western Europe c. 500 years ago, is still alive, although under constant attack today.) Europeans might not know that Americans often refer to their family ancestry: "I'm Irish" "I'm German-Irish" etc. I once knew somebody who said: "I'm kind of weird. I'm Italian and Lithuanian!" The family ancestry is often used to explain their personality. "A stubborn old German" is how my grandmother described my grandfather. And they were not immigrants!
My point is that Americans and Europeans are not as far apart as it might seem: to be sure, there are differences, e.g. Americans remain more religious, and in general (according to the last election) dislike the larger taste of socialism now being offered. So if BOOM continues to offer European authors, whose stories fail to attract an audience here, they need to search for that new creator, American or otherwise.
Perhaps an international audition would catalyze the appearance of that unknown author!
Best Wishes!

New/old Barks story: "Somewhere Beyond Nowhere"
Message 23 -
2010-12-19 at 23:34:07
In February, Boom! Studios is publishing a totally new version of a
Barks' plotted story. The story has a new title "Somewhere BEYOND
Nowhere"; a new script (by me); and art by the great Daan Jippes. It's
12 pages long.
Why did I want to do a new version--especially since I scripted the
original 2000 version?
Well, the original version ("Somewhere IN Nowhere")--although it
certainly has its charms and some nice art by Pat Block--strayed quite
a bit from Carl's original plot. Interference from one of the managers
of the Carl Barks Studio (not Carl himself) twisted what was intended
to be a snappy 10-12 pager into a bloated 28-page adventure story. I
was continually encouraged to make the story longer. More importantly,
I was given some misinformation about plot changes that Carl
supposedly wanted.
It was only after the story was drawn that I learned how much the
story differed from what Carl actually wanted. As someone who admired
Carl personally and professionally, I felt horrible about this. I
really felt we should go back to Carl's original synopsis and do it
the way he wanted. Fortunately, my editors at Egmont agreed and I was
delighted when Jippes agreed to draw it.
It took me a few years to work up the courage to script this story. I
couldn't afford to do it wrong--again. And I wanted to honor Carl's
intent and legacy. So I felt I had to do my very best.
I think it came out well. (Certainly, Jippes' art is magnificent!) But
you can judge for yourself.
Boom! Studios is publishing "Somewhere Beyond Nowhere" in Donald Duck
and Friends #363. Advance orders from the Diamond Comics Previews
catalog are available through your local comic shop. Here's additional
info about the comic:
http://su.pr/2Zoi4u
And, yes, Boom! left my name off the credits in its solicitations.
(Don't ask me why. I don't know.) But I'm told that I'll be credited
as scripter in the comic itself.

Well, what do you know? This is great news! I, for one, greatly look forward to seeing the comic. I do want to say, though, that notwithstanding the disappointment, stress, and general irritation the first story seems to have caused, I did quite enjoy it. Perhaps this is simply because I didn't have your vision, John, or Barks's notes, and thus lacked the ability to compare the final product (positively or negatively) to what might have been, but all the same I thought the story excellent work.

I'm not sure this is a "continental" difference. There is already a big
difference between Disney comics fandom in (for instance) Holland, Italy,
and Denmark. This may be because these countries have different comic
traditions from the beginning (the 1940s). I'm sure that, if the USA had
published Scarpa and Bottaro in the 1950s (to name just some people), they
would have been just as popular now as Barks and Rosa.

Message 27 -
2010-12-21 at 11:18:37
Happy Holidays to all!
And thank you very much for all those who have responded and commented to
my questions. It's been really nice to know this list is full of great
people. I'm sure to let you all know where my thesis is going and in case
I happen to travel abroad in a conference to talk about Rosa or so on.
(The next one is on March in Prague, but I think that one is closed to the
participants only. :/)
I personally met Rosa in September in Helsinki, when he was marketing his
newest album. I took a one-day trip there and stood two hours in the
queue, but that was so worth it. Even though he hadn't much time to talk
to people (the queue was like 150 metres long, and it was the sixth
signing up for him), but I had time to introduce myself and give him a
letter in which I described my research. It also had my contact
information.
I had earlier sent him an email, while I was still working on my master's
degree, but got no answer and I wasn't sure if the email was right. But he
seemed to remember me and promised that he'll check on that email.
I'm not sure if he ever has time to write me back, but I still consider
myself a very lucky person to have met him and let him know about my work
too.
But perhaps I consider writing him a longer letter now that I have his
home address too. :)
I wish you all very best christmas,

Although I personally prefer and enjoy Rosa stories, here we were
fortunate (when there was Disney Comics publishing) to meet several art
and storytelling styles -- the smaller monthly issues used to be big,
~100 pages, so there were several stories, and maybe there's some issue
with Rosa, Scarpa, Barks and Vicar stories at the same time!

fortunate (when there was Disney Comics publishing) to meet several art
and storytelling styles -- the smaller monthly issues used to be big,
~100 pages, so there were several stories, and maybe there's some issue
with Rosa, Scarpa, Barks and Vicar stories at the same time!

I forgot to call your attention yesterday on the fact that the cannibals
have not been censored in the continuity ("Mickey Mouse Sails for Treasure
Island") currently published on D23 :
http://d23.disney.go.com/comics.html
The previous one ("The Great Orphanage Robbery")
I hope this is a good sign for Fantagraphics' collection; has the decision
been made, or is the Walt Disney Company testing the waters through their
site, seeing what the reactions are, before granting the right to reprint
all the strips, unaltered?
Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I thought I would treat myself to the two-volume Rosa Pertwillaby books put out in Norway, I believe??
Does anyone know how I could purchase these? Or the cost?
Thanks.
