Not hereabouts, there are some differences. For example, Barks will be 
excluded completely from the German 'Hall of Fame', because those in power 
decided we've already suffered a Barks-overdose within the last ten years or 
so. Which is rubbish, of course, although maybe not from a business point of 
view. ;-)

My sentiments as well. If they are going to present 3-tiers, these would 
amount to maybe three or four stories, which sounds a bit... um... 
anti-climactic to me. I can only hope there will be more than one volume 
dedicated to Scarpa. As far as I know Vicar was asked to compile his book 
himself; I wonder if the same is true for my fave Italian artist. As for 
Vicar, I'm curious about his choices.
