<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great news that besides the Good Housekeeping
cartoon stories we will also be seeing soon stories from the King Features
Disney strips. With Leonard Maltin presenting the series of Disney film
treasures, we now have David Gerstein as his counterpart providing us with the
Disney printed treasures. Many thanks to Gemstone enabling this to
happen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have two particular favorites that I would like
to see. A representation of the very first Disney comic book that appeared in
1931 which consisted of black and white Gottfredson strips.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Secondly, I would like to see a reissue of the 1943
Gremlins story produced by Disney. This was written by Roald Dahl, the author
for the Disney stop-motion film "James and the Giant Peach", he wrote many
of the Tales of the Unexpected used by Hitchcock, and he is the
author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with its new film
version now being shown. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Included with the Gremlins story book
were beautiful color drawings by the Disney artists. The Gremlin characters
later appeared in WDC&S in several short two page comic gags drawn
by Walter Kelly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps the reissue of the Gremlins could be bound
together with a comic book type version of the story drawn by a modern day
artist ( maybe a new challenge for Don Rosa ! ). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am sure that many will have their own special
favorites.</FONT></DIV>
