Quote from user: Will BarksQuote from user: Robb_KQuote from user: Roger NorthI think it would be cool to see a William Van Horn Libary in Color too. Of Course He hasn't retired so it won't be entirely complete.
They'll probably wait until he retires. He's around Rosa's age, so, he might well retire within the next 10 years, or so. Coudn't you wait that long?
I'd say a true artist NEVER retires. :)
Barks worked on Disney stuff till his death, Rosa also said he'll still do covers. So I'd say even if Horn stops doing stories in ten years he'll do covers or aquarelles or whatever.
That might well be, and I hope so. But when he stops drawing stories his collection of his stories can be made with no stories missing. Perhaps his later covers and paintings and other works can also be collected later, after he finishes making those. In any case, I'm sure that we all hope all of these artists wait as long as possible to retire, so we can enjoy as large a body of work as possible. I intend to draw as long as I can see, and write even longer (as long as I can dictate). But, maybe I should draw even after I can see, taking the example of Rune Kidde.

William Van Horn?s new story ?Just In Time" (D2007-305, 10 pages) is now being prepared for publication in Europe. Donald is on night shift at a scientific research center.
The German translation will be done by Gerd Syllwasschy.

Good news. I can't wait to rtead it. I'm sure it will be printed in The Dutch DD Extra, or, maybe even in The Weekly within some months.. It should be printed in Gemstone WDC & S within several months, too.

I suppose I could Robb. There might be a chance that I may not afford it anyway.

Just not to raise false hopes: Egmont has just sent the story out to their European subsidiaries. It will take some months before it gets printed anywhere. I wouldn't expect to see it in a Gemstone issue before next year. Dunno how fast the Dutch are, though.

It seems to me that the Van Horn stories are often printed in Dutch comics slightly before Gemstone (but also sometimes a little after), but there is a several months delay after the Egmont printings for both.

Robb, until now there are 33 stories drawn by Bill which are never published in the Netherlands yet.
21 x D-code
4 x AR-code
1 x K-code
1 x GEM-code
6 x OJ-code (orange juice gags for advertising)
I´d like to know if Dutch readers like Bill´s tales or not. However, Van Horn is even a Dutch family name.

Wow! I hadn't realised so many are still missing. Of the Dutch fans I know, most of them like his work very much. The few others are neutral about him. But, the fact that his stories are, for the most part, published in DD Extra, as opposed to Donald Duck Weekblad (The Weekly), shows that Chief Story Editor, Thom Roep, doesn't hold his work in high regard.
I guess it's a good thing for me that Gladstone and Gemstone try to print all Van Horn's work.
Yes, van Hoorn is a good dDutch name. It was given first to people who came from the town of Hoorn near the border of Noord Holland and West Friesland. A good friend of mine used to live very close by there.

Robb, it would be very kind if you could convince Thom Roep to publish these 33 stories. This would be great for the Dutch Van Horn fans and could even increase the number of them.

I will mention to him that many of Van Horn's stories are missing, and that I know a lot of fans that love his work. But, alas, I fear that my recommendations will carry little weight in changing Thom's taste or printing policies. I'd rather he'd first print two stories by me and Jan Gulbransson left over from the 1990s.

Interesting. Have these two stories ever been printed elsewhere or are they still buried in Sanoma's archives?

Robb, I still admire Gulbransson´s work and yours too. But if Thom Roep prefers to publish Massaroli and Miguel instead of Van Horn or Gulbransson, that points of an uninformed taste.
On the contrary every story by Don Rosa is puplished in the Netherlands. Many of them are brainless regurgitations of Carl´s work for my taste.

"The Greatest Hoax of All Time"("Der Grösste Schwindel Aller Zeiten") was printed in The German "Tollsten Geschichten", as well as in Jan Gulbransson's German Hall of Fame book, and "Playing Hooky"("Die Schneidigen Schulschwänzer") was printed in The Hall of Fame book. So, you can read them both in German. Personally, I'd like Sanoma to print them, because I'd enjoy reading them a lot more in Dutch than in German (which I can read to get the gist of a story, but can't enjoy the jokes or appreciate the writing skill (use of the language).

No, it merely indicates that Thom Roep's taste isn't the same as yours. Massaroli drew one of my stories (http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2003-057), and in my opinion he did an impressive job.

Taste in art is in the eye of the beholder. There is no "right" or "wrong". I wouldn't describe Thom Roep's taste as "uninformed". He has always been a big comic book/strip fan, and he has read a tremendous amount of comic book and strip stories. He is one of the main reasons why Dutch comics have had an extremely high quality from 1973 to the present, after he and Cees de Groot and some other big Disney fans took over publication of Dutch Disney Comics (Geilustreerde Pers/Oberon). It was like the difference between night and day. I disliked the Dutch weekly so much in the late 1960s and early 1970s that I stopped buying it. But in late 1973, and, especially in 1974, the Dutch weeklies and special books had lots of Barks reprints, and previous unpublished US stories, and Daan Jippes and Mark de Jonge and a few other decent and good Dutch artists started drawing gag pages and stories. The story quality improved greatly. Thom Roep was a main reason why Dutch Disney printed "lost" or previously unreprinted Barks stories first (even before USA (The Milkman story and "Silent Night", Donald Duck's Atom Bomb", and stories pieced together from animation cells or storyboards.
Thom Roep has his taste in storywriting, and it may differ some from mine. But I would never describe him as "uninformed". He knows his stuff, well. He seems to print a lot more Vicar stories than those of Branca. But, he is more interested in the story quality being very high, than printing great artwork with mediocre stories.
