Quote from user: Robb_KQuote from user: AnemoWell, I'd be glad if we have a Disney Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck comic published here.
What country is "SGP" (that has no Disney Comics)?
That'd be "Singapore" Robb. ;) I'd like to see more classic Floyd Gottfredson stories that haven't been reprinted in the US.

Anemo:
I have a Singapore Disney Comic from the 1990s. It's the only one I've ever seen. It was published by an Egmont-related publisher. Apparantly, they published them for a few years. I would assume that the Chinese Disney comics are sold there, and perhaps the indian (English version) publications sell there. And, maybe also, a Malay Disney publication exists?
I was lucky to get mine, because it has one of my stories in it. Arthur de Wolf, of "Disney Comics Worldwide"-website, graciously gave it to me because of my story.
I don't know how many years the Singapore publication lasted. But it couldn't be more than a few. I and others have looked long and hard to find 2nd hand issues of them, and have failed, miserably. Even my friend from Indonesia, DCML member, Ari Fachrisal, who has gone to Singapore several times, hasn't found one.

All this talk of Disney dailies and Sundays has me buzzing for my library.
You can get all of them for next to nothing - it's just time consuming.
Most libraries in the USA allow you to request reels of microfilmed newspapers for free from other libraries. It's called 'InterLibrary Loan Request' program. If you have a library card go to a website and request which newspapers you want. They'll allow you to view them and you can save the images and text to a USB drive. Of course having black and white sunday comics is better than having none at all.
Right now I'm saving the first year of MM dailies from the Danville Register, and The Oakland Post Enquirer at my library.
Also, you might try a certain newspaperarchive website. They have most everything from 1932 on. I was able to get quite a few good stories 'Mickey Mouse Sails For Treasure Island'. Hope that helps.

Well, I can loan most of it on micro-film, but unlike in the US I have a hard time getting images in 'lectronic format since I don't know any library with that function in any close proximity of my humble abode. And besides... The question was "What Disney Comics do you want published in your home country?" and the answer to that is "Luxury bound collections of high grade newspaper strip-comics".
Micro-film are not of the best quality, most of the time, and it's not for anybody.

ZE CARIOCA!!!! :) He's definitely got his fans here, but he seems so underappreciated. Also, I'd like to see some Oncle Picsou and maybe Pappereta Ye-Ye, and DEFINITELY the Gyro Gearloose comics so popular in Europe. I've got a friend who lives in Finland and she tells me about those all the time, and I am SO jealous for her! :P

I agree with you so much LadyQuackly. I'd really love to see a José Carioca comics from Brazil over here and definatly some Pappereta Ye-Ye stories since she seems like such an interesting character. (too bad her character probably wouldn't be excepted by some American fans :( ) Oh well you can always dream right?

I surely would like to see Mickey's Inferno by Martina and Bioletto (after the first part of Dante's immortal La Divina Commedia) in Finnish. I have Italian reprint and the one Gemstone translated. But unfortunately Gemstone's version is altered and censored. Layout is changed from 3-tier in to 4-tier. Wild barbershop torture scene is missing. Also it's translation tends to make it softer, duller and/or simpler for American reader. For example: "E'uno scherzo di satana!" (frolics of satan) translates into "Durn it anyway!". And right after Goofy (Virgil) and Mickey (Dante) have acrossed the river of Acheron we see schoolmasters and teachers being tortured by schoolkids. Here all the references to old classic education is removed, nothing about the conspiracy of Catiline, nothing about Plato's dialogues, kids are just plainly complaining about detention and having too many tests at school. Mickey says about one teacher: "E'peggio che la peste bubbonica!" (She's worse than bubonic plague), diluted, watered down translation goes simply: "Gee whiz! Math class might be fun..." Goofy adds: "Mettetele la camicia di Forza!" (Put her on straitjacket!) translation: "...but not with a boring teacher like her!".
Fortunately David's translations of epic poems (created by Martina with great skill, perfectly in vein of Dante) seems to be quite good, using correct jambic "terza rima".
German translation is missing all this completely. It's more like simple nursery rhymes than Dante. This comic is hard for any translator!
Secondly I'd like to see lots and lots of Scarpa, preferably chronological Scarpa library. so much Scarpa is still unpublished in Finnish.
Third, some Brasilian made Disney stuff. While some of them looks highly interesting, I know that some of them are quite routine stuff, but still...

Quote from user: timoroLayout is changed from 3-tier in to 4-tier. Wild barbershop torture scene is missing.
Both of these changes were made for the Italian reprint we used as a source?and that we essentially had to use. Disney was concerned that this story could be too racy for some readers (witness its longtime censored state in Italy itself), so we needed to softpedal its presence by restricting it to a single issue. This meant keeping it below 64 pages, and that meant using the remount. I think we did the best we could under the circumstances.Quote:Mickey says about one teacher: "E'peggio che la peste bubbonica!" (She's worse than bubonic plague)
Goofy adds: "Mettetele la camicia di Forza!" (Put her on straitjacket!)
Okay, now we get... subjective!
I'm certain I'm going to take some flak for this, but at Gemstone we like to try to keep the Disney characters in-character. Mickey and Goofy, generally kindly individuals, had seen this teacher in action for all of one panel when they made the furious-sounding comments you quote; comments that not only struck me as extreme for the characters, but extreme even in the context of this racy story. Not to mention in the context of the art. As the Italian Mickey and Goofy call this teacher a horror and demand her corporal punishment, they have unaccountably placid, neutral expressions on their faces.
So I'll stand by my decision to soften their statements in this one panel.Quote:Secondly I'd like to see lots and lots of Scarpa, preferably chronological Scarpa library.
We've got no plans for a library now, but there's gobs of Scarpa coming?last month brought the classic "Easter Egg-Sport" and the modern "Quiet Day on the Beach," and next month will bring the feature-length "Taking the Plunge." The feature-length "Lights Fantastic" and (postponed from one of our pocketbooks) "Sacred Spring of Seasons Past" are on their way soon, too.

Since the complete Carl Barks and Don Rosa is being published here, the only thing left for wish for is Floyd Gottfredson and Al Taliaferro. Then I would be happy...

You said *complete* Rosa.. Hall of fame isn't anything you could call "complete"... Besides.. HoF will be closed down shortly.

The Hall of Fame Series hasn't been released in America but I think it should be. It would be cool to have a series of Don Rosa stories published in Chronological Order from the first one to the most recent which I believe is the last one.
