Please tell ?me your comments

Thank you.

Eikonikos (Nikos Panagiotopoulos)

Greetings to Everyone!

In answer to Nils, it was only a matter of time before the Frenchman's
Disney Comic Page was taken down.? Despite the work he had put into it,
he had not paid for the right to use those stories, even in a non-profit
fashion.

I agree that - perhaps - Disney or BOOM or Gladstone or whoever should
have looked the other way and considered the page a way to keep the
characters alive, especially since there is no comic publishing of The
Duckburg Universe right now in America.

The first principle of Economics is that - despite what some radicals
think - nothing is free. ? If you created a comic book, and somebody else
appropriated it, profited from it without giving you proper payment, you
would consider it theft.

Theft of intellectual property by certain countries, in some cases
supported by a government, is one of the largest problems of our age.

So if Disney or one of the publishing companies complained, it is their
right to do so.

On this topic: is it not time for Disney and the publishers to consider
e-book versions of the Barks/Rosa/Van Horn/Jippes/Gottfredson/etc.
stories?? And to start publishing new stories by worthy authors for
e-books?? We have talked about this before, when Gladstone went out of
business.

The Wall Street Journal from July 7/8 , 2012 has an article about
e-comics:

That is pretty good. I liked the joke about being a dentist.
Was this drawn using an art software program or paper, pencil,
and then inked?

And I am almost afraid to mention this on a mailing list that
may contain young readers but does anyone here know about Dolan
the Duck? I do not go out of my way to read them but every once
in a while I stumble upon it while reading reddit and some are
quite funny.

This is not very well known I think, but there was some Disney in the Swedish weekly Veckans serier (This weeks comics) 1942-1943.
First there was a strip with Benjamin Syrsa (Jiminy Cricket) on the back cover of number 9 -26.
Then there was two strips/issue of Den fredliga draken (The Reluctant Dragon) in at least issues 27 - 33.
The story had not ended in nr 33 so I suppose it went on for some issues.
Can enyone tell which issues ?

Some info about Veckans Serier.
This was a short lived weekly comic with 42 issues. I had tabloid format and 12 pages which were later shrunk to 8 pages.
It cost 25 ?re (5 cent). It had no special cover. All pages were comics on the same cheap paper. Half of the pages were color, some were black/white/red and some black/white.
The comics are mostly unknown to me.
On the front was Bob & Frank. Two young men in the US coast guard World War 2
It had one page Windy & Paddles, a US comic by Dick Moores who also drew Disney.
One strip with Skippy, a US joke comic about a boy. The rest of this page was a story.
One page with two trappers in the US liberation war.
One page of The Shadow.
Half a page Yarko (US name ?), similar to Mandrake but much more magic (and not at all as good) The other half had a bad story about an US military officer called L?jtnant Vinge (Ltnt Wing translated). WW2
One page of a US doctor Bobbs
One third page of some runaway girl, Annika. One third The little king. One third a comic version of a Fleischman cartoon about some bugs that has a visit by a grasshopper that tries to save their village so that they won't have to move. With a cute bee girl and a villain beetle. Hoppe kommer till stan. This was later replaced with Reluctant Dragon.
One page of two US pilots on some adventure in South Amerika. Tom is one name and I think the other is Bill but I'm not sure.
One third page of joke strip with story about how two people (different all the time) don't get married for some reason or another. The rest of the page is called Lyckliga familjen (lucky family)
One page of pussles and jokes.
The back page has a Swedish comic (Karolinerna) about some Swedish soldiers in the 18:th century. They're in Russia during the Great Nordic war. At the bottom is the Benjamin Syrsa strip.
Later the GREAT Swedish adventure/sci-fi comic Allan K?mpe debuted. Beautifully drawn by Eugen Semitjov in a Alex Raymond style.

Hope it was of some interest.

If someone has some info about the comics it would be fun to read about it.

If you are going to visit that shop, also take a look at Serieboden on Sven Vintappares gr?nd 2, very close to the other shop. Very small road, so maybe not indicated on all maps.

However, you should really stay in Scandinavia instead of going to Finland and Estonia. Now you are going to miss the DDF(R) summer meeting in Funen in about two weeks.
