Thanks for that link!!! Good to see our David is on board for the special features segment. And the bit we were all interested in:
We will indeed be doing more Disney books, including a separate series of color Donald Sundays. One most germane to our discussion here is Silly Symphonies, not only because it will eventually showcase Taliaferro pre-Donald artwork, not only because it features the try-out run for Donald under the Symphonies banner, but because Silly Symphonies features an adaptation of The Wise Little Hen cartoon that marks Donald??s debut as a character. Some fans have asked why we didn??t put The Wise Little Hen in this first Donald collection. The answer is easy: our plan is to release it where it belongs, in our Silly Symphonies releases!

Ooooh, very interested in their plans for more Disney books. Is this the best time for Disney comics, or what?
Also: that King Features anniversary book sounds awesome.

Between the work done by Fantagraphics and IDW, I'm really happy with what I'm seeing right now.
I feel like we've got the best of both worlds. A lot of the historical material, in nice formats and collections, at reasonable prices.
I think it does a good job of capturing the excellence of what Gladstone and Gemstone did, while also providing me with stories that are new to my eyes.
I'd love to keep seeing artist collections, including guys like Van Horn, Milton, Rota, Branca,, etc. Obviously they won't be as large or as deluxe as Barks and Rosa, but I'd love to see their material collected.

Completely agree.
Generally speaking it's a pretty good time to have access to older material in the comic realm.
Peanuts, Dick Tracy, Sunday strips, superhero archives, etc.
I'd be curious to hear what changes have occurred in the industry in the last 15 years or so that have enabled archive collections and niche printings to thrive.

They baby-boomers starting to retire from their careers, and dive more deeply into hobbies?

[quote=Robb_K]They should also include Taliaferro's 30-strip page (10-full page equivalent) story that was printed in a Wheaties (or was it Cheerios?) giveaway comic book ("Counter Spy"), and the long Moose Hunting story that also appeared in a March of Comics
Rob, the March of Comics story you're thinking of was really drawn by Paul Murry with a different inker than usual??I can guarantee that Taliaferro was not involved, although Murry's Duck designs were clearly inspired by Taliaferro's.
We do have a reprint of Taliaferro's "Counter Spy" coming up very soon in the regular monthly comics. Wait for it...!

If memory serves me right, I believe that Al Taliaferro wrote/drew some Donald Duck 2 pagers in the early days of WDC&S. Will we be seeing any of those reprinted?

I saw it listed as being drawn by Taliaferro, and I think on COA. "Counter Spy"is the story to which I thought I was referring. I forgot it was a Cheerios giveaway, rather than Wheaties. I'm glad it will be reprinted by IDW. But, I really wanted to find out if it will be also put into the Taliaferro Collection (along with the 2 2-pagers from WDC.

But I would've thought that was what happened in the 1980s. The boomers were in their 30s and 40s, earning better salaries and theoretically pumping money into their hobbies.
I wonder, is this just a continuation of that phase, is this because the children of boomers are now hitting their 30s and 40s, is it easier to publish material.
I have no answers, but I'd be curious to hear what's happened in the last 15 years and the rise of publishers like IDW and Fantagraphics - both of whom are doing some fantastic work at consumer friendly prices.

One of the first comic-strip compilations I ever bought was a soft-cover volume of Cliff Sterrett's Polly & Her Pals. The strip ran from 1913 to 1958. By the 1930s, Sterrett had simplified his drawing style. Patrick McDonnell created the Mutts comic strip in 1994 and it is done in a style identical to that of the 1930s-40s Polly strips. Some of the humans in Mutts even look like some of the Polly characters. Yesh!
IDW is now reprinting the strips in hardcover:

I would be thinking it is a matter of now or never. The fanbase numbers are getting lower year by year. That is why I am concerned about the CBL being a smaller size than the DR Library. There may never be a chance to get the size right in the future.
