Does anyone know if the Fantagraphics Don Rosa Library is going to be the same dimensions as the Fantagraphics Carl Barks Library? I would prefer it'd be just a little larger.
Thank you,

Quote from user: ArildQuote from user: rodneyWill these be a similar format to the Barks Library books?
This is what Jano wrote on the Danish forum:
The book will be in the same small format as the Barks books since Gary Groth wants to make it more mass market compatible. A larger sized edition would have needed to be sold at a higher price (at least that was the word in San Diego this July). The content will be very close to the Hall of Fame books, it's NOT an adaptation of the Don Rosa Collection book set.

Thank you answering my question, Arild. I'm very pleased to finally have the Don Rosa Library being published in English in any size. I would have preferred it a little larger, though, because all the little details he puts in would just be that much easier to see and enjoy.

clefrere apparently emailed Fantagraphics, and they said they are working on potentially publishing it in a larger format.

I wouldn't mind it being regular comic book size myself.

Skritter, I suspect the best way to go about something like that is to email Fantagraphics directly and ask about that. I'm hoping it's a larger format, since the comics are shrunk to (if my numbers aren't wrong) about 50% of the size of their original size.

I agree with you guys that it would be cool, but I hope larger ones wouldn't have a significant price increase.

I assume The Don Rosa Collection will be strictly chronological.
I would prefer to see the exception to that, with the "Life and Times" stories. Even putting the extra in-between stories, so that all 16 stories are presented in one time line instead of the "Companion" stories presented latter. I gather it's possible "Life and Times" stories (all 16 and extra content, essays etc) could be presented as two separate volumes on their own?
*** Does anyone have links to the 'Table of Contents" for each the European Rosa sets, so I can see how they where laid out?

Don is such a stickler for accuracy and chronology, I'd actually like to see the stories presented in the order he see's them fitting in, which would include the approach to Life and Times material.
With the way Disney comics are heading, Rosa might just be the last, great, "epic" Disney storyteller.

This is not the way they were supposed to be read. The 12 main chapters are the full saga and the original narrative, which was written to work as one unit. While the "bonus chapters" add to the original narrative, they are in no way necessary and were never intended to be included in between those original chapters. From what I remember, Don would even consider it disturbing to include them in those spots. Also, due to the added "Scrooge remembers his life and tells Donald and the kids about it in the money bin" framework, they would break the flow of the original 12 chapters. Thus, all the proper Lo$ editions have always presented the original saga in the first part of the book and the additional chapters in the second part (or split over two books).
