Hi<BR>
<BR>

> for Kalevala." Any chance they will appear in "Uncle Scrooge" this year?<BR>
<BR>
I remember that Gary Leach wrote on this list, that they've prepared the <BR>
contents for the next half year or so, but that was a couple of months <BR>
ago, I think. I've seen the cover for both US 328 (Forget It!) and US <BR>
329, and US 329 is not a Rosa cover, so I strongly presume this issue <BR>
won't have any long Rosa stories in it, unless they don't know of the <BR>
cover for the story! (Crown of the Crusader Kings)<BR>

<BR>
Another thing, if I am not mistaking Gary said that they might consider <BR>
reprinting the Lo$ (albums), I sure hope they would print them with <BR>
extra chapters and the commentaries Don wrote for them. Those comments <BR>
always add a little dimension to the story! :-)<BR>
<BR>
Hopefully the previews for the next couple of issues will be availble on <BR>
the web!<BR>
<BR>
Btw, Gemstone (Gary), is there any chance you would consider using the <BR>
one-parter versions instead of using the three-part versions, when it <BR>
comes to Don Rosa's stories ?<BR>

<BR>
I'm a Dane, and I noticed it too :-) I just had a little laugh about it, <BR>
but sure would have to have seen the cover used instead!<BR>
<BR>

Also, Gary emailed to me here at the DCML that they were working on a Mickey Mouse Adventures digest-sized comic along the lines of DDA for the summer. And if the one shot MMA is successful(buy as many copies as you can people!!! :) ) then it would become a bimonthly series like DDA, alternating months with DDA(i.e. DDA in July, MMA in August, repeat, etc.)<BR>
