Unfortunately, I doubt that you'll see the books in your local Wal-Mart anytime soon. I remember reading of a ban they semi-recently passed regarding comics in their stores (there was a rumor about censorship-driven mothers complaining endlessly), although I think they still continue to sell Archie Digests, MAD Magazine, and Disney Adventures. (Two of which are only "semi-comics" anyway.)<BR>

I've yet to see the Gemstone comics in any chain bookstores here either--not even the "Donald Duck Adventures" book, which I thought was going to find its main (children) readership via chain bookstores. Hm.<BR>
