Quote from user: GeoXThe problem with the Boom books is that, if I understand aright, Rosa will refuse to sign them for you. :/
I must have had mine autographed before he made this decision (about 3 years ago). I have the first two BOOM! hardbacks signed; the first signed "Don Rosa", the second "Don Rosa Again".

Wow just got 4 Boom TPBs for $.99 each! Double Duck 2 and 3 plus two of the Mickey books. Very luck find :)
Also there's a UK seller on ebay.com right now with several copies of the DuckTales/Darkwing crossover book for just $18. Best price I've seen.

THAT WAS YOU???
I was bidding on the first Mickey Mouse one and would have bid on The World to Come if I didn't figure you would win anyway. Been wanting to read World to Come for a while.
Darn you.

Ha! Sorry AzureBlue. I was honestly shocked that nobody bid on them. I guess you got one bid in on Orbiting Nightmare and drove the price up to $2 but that was it.
Though I'm more surprised about the Double Duck books, those usually fetch $15-$20 each.
Well, you win some, and you lose some I guess...

Yeah you do. Don't worry, I'm actually not that mad, World to Come is fairly easy to get for a decent price, I don't care that much about the other Mickey one, and I don't care at all about Double Duck.

Quote from user: garbanzoI dropped $150 for the lot. I never thought I'd pay double the cover price for some 3-year-old books!
But I'm a big Rosa fan, and I love the series, so I figured I should go ahead and get the HCs.
I just hope they ship fast, I can't wait to read it again :)
Really? Have the prices gone so high for those ones ? I remember they were pretty beautiful editions, but I didn't want to pay double the price, let alone having the story on 2 separate books. On the other hand, I bought the companion when it got out. More pages, all of the Life and Times other stories, and for the same price. I got it for ~14?¬.
I have the main Life and Times and the Companion in Greek. However, the main reason I wanted the US companion as well, was because it featured 2 more stories, "Last sled to Dawson" and "The dream of a lifetime". On the other hand, the Greek edition included the "Dutchman's secret" as a lost episode with the name "6-2, The Dutchman's secret". It was presented as a Life and Times story, because it "continued" from the "6-1, Vigilante of Pizzen Bluff".

I blame Don Rosa. If he weren't such a great storyteller and artist, the prices wouldn't be so high!
But I was willing to pay that much for the books, so I'm happy :)

By Vacation Parade and Spring Fever, do you refer to the original Dell ones, the Gemstone ones, or something in between?

Gladstone. I am not much for floppies - I prefer trades and hardovers that I can display proudly on my shelves and pull out to read without bothering with boards and bags :)

Ah. I have a fair amount of floppies myself since I often buy in lots, but they can be a pain. Out of curiosity, do you have your collection indexed? I'd like to look at it.

The first Vacation Parade (Dell 1950) didn't have a number. "Spring Fever" as a title was only used during Disney Studios' run of Disney Comics (early 1990s). "Missing Mummy" was a Pat Block comic from the end of Gemstone. Getting the '40s Christmas Giveaways for $10 each is great. I suspect that they aren't in very good condition.

Ah I never knew Spring Fever wasn't around before inhouse. Didn't Gemstone later come out with a couple issues of it too though?
As for the Missing Mummy, I never had heard about that comic before. It looks similar to the Barks/Rosa issues Gemstone did; I have 1 and 3 of those, which are both great (and is my only printing of the Golden Helmet, which is pretty much my favorite story ever)

Gemstone also had its own two-issue run of SPRING FEVER. We used the same logo as the Disney Comics version.
"Missing Mummy" paired the Block story with a "Mummy's Ring" reprint, for which Susan Daigle-Leach provided the best color I'd ever seen for it!
I don't think Garbanzo was saying he got the actual 1940s giveaways??he meant the 1990s Gladstone album reprint.

Not yet. That can be done in INDUCKS, right? I'll work on it...

Correct, the Christmas Giveaways is the Gladstone version.
