Upcoming comics in Holland

[H.W.Fluks@kpn.com]

Last week in the shops: WINTERBOEK 2003. Mainly Egmont stories. Haven't
bought it yet.

Today in the shops: DE BESTE VERHALEN VAN DONALD DUCK #113: DD als
goudhaantje. Beautiful cover. Barks "Philosopher's Stone" reprint from
Italian ZIO PAPERONE with beautiful colours. Also a Barks/Jippes JW story
and a 4-page Gyro.

In a few weeks: DD POCKET #90, OOM DAGOBERT #69 (Don Rosa), EEN VROLIJKE
KERST MET DD (with one "new" story), DD DUBBELPOCKET #13.


And here are the anouncements for January till April 2003:

Week 8: JUNGLE BOEK 2: The book to the sequel to the film.

Week 8: DE BESTE VERHALEN VAN DONALD DUCK #114: DD als houthakker. Barks;
Paul Bunyan Machine. Again, a nice Jippes cover.

Week 18: OOM DAGOBERT #69 (Don Rosa, The Lost Dutchman's Mine)

Week 15: De avontuurlijkste reizen van DD #2: another Ben Verhagen special.
I like that! Rota cover.

Week 1, 6, 11, and 16: DD pocket 91-92-93-94. Apparently the pocket books
are now every 5 weeks (so 10 in a year in stead of 8). Maybe we won't miss
anything from now on (compared to the Egmont countries). Especially
interesting because they started printing old Scarpa stories in every (?)
issue.

Week 5 and 14: DISNEY FESTIVAL #11-12. Number 11 was already for sale in
Belgium a long time ago...


DONALD DUCK EXTRA will mainly contain American Scrooge stories, taken from
Italian ZIO PAPERONE. #12 has a Strobl story from DD 42, #13 a Bradbury
story from DD 32. Next year, #1 contains two Rosa/Leach shorts (AR 107 and
AR 118 - I'm curious what the translation will look like...) and a Rota
story (S 72108).
