Hi.
I'm a longtime Disney reader and fan from Portugal, currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark (I saw a lot of Danes here :).
I recently found about Gladstone and their Disney comics releases, and wanted to start collecting them. As an avid collector, my overall want is to "have everything". :) But I don't really know what's out there. What collections, anthologies, or whatever else is there for me to start getting? What do you guys recommend? My main point of interest is Scrooge, Donald and the whole Duckberg world. I like the Mickey/Goofy universe too, but not as much, so I'd rather start with the Scrooge/Donald ones. What should I start by getting? What are the must haves? Just FYI, I love the old look of the comics (Carl Barks, I suppose -- I'm not too knowledgeable in this area yet).
I also have boxes full of comics back in my grandfather's attic. Those were all bought during most of my childhood, probably between 1990-97, in Portugal. I *think* that some (many? most?) of the stories there were reprints from old Disney comics, but I'm not sure. Is it worth trying to "get everything" even though I already have many comics, for fear that I might end up buying comics where I already own all the stories in some different comic?
I'm sorry if any of these questions could be easily answered by some simple google searches, but I got so excited about finding this forum that I couldn't help but posting immediately.
Thanks!

Hello lorian and welcome!

I'm one of the Danes and if you live in København you can visit a lot of great stores that deal with old Disney comics.
Feel free to ask!

Do you read and speak Danish?

Hi & welcome!

Maybe some of Gemstone's one-shots would help you feel around-- the Walt Disney Treasures series and the Barks / Rosa reprints, for instance, particularly the Carl Barks' Duck Tales volumes, which feature major stories.

Be sure to bookmark this site, as it will be extremeley useful to you:

You can browse through the issues, search for stories (beware: some words are not taken into account), find in what books they have been published, ...

The following will also be useful for keeping track of Gemstone's releases:

Searching for such things as "Somewhere in Nowhere" was impossible.
