Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #700 will have an extra story titled Close-ups by William Van Horn in the back.
I've also learned that the next two issues of WDC&S will wrap up the first four-story arc of Ultraheroes and starting in January (the same month the first Ultraheroes TPB comes out) WDC&S will start a new four-story arc with Mickey Mouse in The World of Tomorrow! That's pretty cool! :)

A story by William Van Horn is always good news.

Indeed. This book is definitely a must-buy. "Close-Ups" is arguably one of the most unusual stories Bill has ever done.

14? Your pocket calculator must be on the blink. ;)
Besides, Arthur said something about a "double-sized issue".

Quote from user: Robb_KA double-sized issue for $2.99 would be a nice surprise.
WDC&S 700 has extra pages for the Van Horn story for the same price of $2.99. Pretty nice, he? :)

I assume that this is an effort to try to keep the adult "nostalgic" fans, along with the general plan to go after new child readers. Otherwise, they lose a decent % of the Gemstone readers, who don't like the new, Italian, superhero formats. I admit that I was ready to only buy the Uncle Scrooge, and not the other three. Now, I will struggle to decide if I want to have that Van Horn story in both Dutch and English. I won't buy all The Walt Disney's Comics & Stories just to have all the books in an historical series. I have limited room for paper items, and will eventually need to get rid of items I want less than others.

Quote from user: Robb_KThe regular issue size has 24 pages, but only 22 of comic story.
I see. I had based my calculation on the Inducks entry for WDC 699 which says that the 1st part of Ultraheroes is 26 pages. So the Inducks is wrong in this case?
