Hi Dennis
In Rome from 7th to 10th April 2016 there will be Romics, a large exhibit of
comics (see http://www.2015.romics.it/en).
It is not only about Disney comics, but you will surely find plenty of its
comics and related toys.
Hope you will enjoy!

? Hello... I am writing to those I know who?have some interest in Disney
collectibles in the hope you respond with information to help me plan a
European trip in APRIL/MAY 2016 with Ed Bergen (President of Carl Barks Fan
Club) and Tom Barker (Film Editor, Producer and early TV Enthusiast).While
visiting historical sites we would like: (1) to meet with individual
collectors to view their Disney collection. (2) attend any vintage toy show,
comic book convention or antiquarian book show. I will need time, place and
date of shows? with the hope to make a purchase. My interests include Carl
Barks, Disney artwork and collectibles made prior to 1950.BestDennis

Dear all,
nice to see at least few mails pouring in again on the list.
Just wanted to share a real life experience triggered by good ol' Uncle
Scrooge.
As a kid I had read a story where the Ducks (in particular Scrooge) and
Flintheart Glomgold race to an old miner's shed in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia, to get an old shovel (I think it was crucial to get som land
or digging rights?). Scrooge finally made it by riding in a Kangaroo's
pouch.
I still remember this as it was in one of the issues I read over and
over during a childhood holiday.
After some decades, I was now able to visit Kalgoorlie in real life,
during a long trip to Australia.
Kalgoorlie (actually a twin city with Boulder) is basically a mining
city in the middle of nowhere, some 600k East (inland) of Perth. In the
city centre, many buildings are from that era and spill quire some
atmosphere over the city (as opposed to outer roads with some
industrial/services companies).
Interestingly, still today Gold is mined in one of the largest open
pits. Additionally, some tourist attractions are there, in particular a
mining museum.
It provides info on how miners (and possibly Scrooge) would have lived
and survived in the late 19th century (water being more expensive than
petroleum!). But it spans until today, with a huge Caterpillar Minig
truck with app. 400 tonne gross weight on display.
Just wanted to share how a comic story in the 80ies influenced travel
experiences... :-)
Regards,
Soeren
