Do you know if he'll be writing/drawing stories for Gemstone exclusively in the future? I remember really enjoying his DuckTales stories from the first run of Gladstone comics, so it would be great to see some more short adventure stories, as opposed to the short strictly-humorous ones.<BR>
<BR>
What I liked about his adventure stories was that they had the same "feel" as the strictly-comedic ones; they just took place in other locations than Duckburg. Barks and Rosa seem to shift between styles, depending on the style of story, while Van Horn combined everything into one.<BR>
<BR>
Of course, that didn't always work...<BR>
<BR>
Still, it would be great if Van Horn were to work for Gemstone exclusively!<BR>

Thanks for reading this nonsense,<BR>
