Gemstone will be releasing a giveaway reprint of "Maharajah Donald" for Free Comic Book Day--found in comic shops throughout the US--on May 3rd. However, the actual books won't start being released until later...<BR>
<BR>
Uncle Scrooge #319 and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories will start being published monthly starting June 17, while Donald Duck #308 and Mickey Mouse and Friends #257 will start being released monthly on September 9. The Disney "take-along" books, published in about the same format as TokyoPop's manga, will appear later on.<BR>
<BR>
I'm not *completely* sure if the release dates are correct, as I would think they might have changed or could change in the future, but I'm going by the dates on my "Disney Comics are BACK!" poster that I received from my local comic book store.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I was wondering, is it possible to subscribe to receive them to my home, <BR>
somehow?<BR>
Or, is there a site where I can order the comics?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
I believe I read that Gemstone will be offering subscriptions, but I don't think they have them available yet. I'm not completely suire on that one.<BR>

Thanks for reading this nonsense,<BR>
