<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the link by deanmary, David gave the
following:<STRONG> </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>GERSTEIN:</STRONG> At this point,
Gemstone's publishing license covers only the Disney "Standard Characters" -
Mickey, Donald, the Silly Symphonies characters and their respective worlds -
and some other characters who appeared in WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND
STORIES</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the earliest issues of Gemstone included a
story with Jose Carioca and Panchito from Three Caballeros.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However some of the most loved Disney characters
also appeared in the golden era of WDC&S including:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dopey, </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Figaro,
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dumbo, Thumper, Gus the Gremlin (appearing in a
Dark Horse Comic in Sept.), Brer Rabbit, Bongo, Little Toot, Tinker Bell,
and Lady and Tramp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In MHOP, instead of Bucky Bug and the Big Bad
Wolf, I would prefer new stories or reprints of the above.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope that Gemstone can get by "Standard
Character", at least on a one-off basis.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With huge numbers of DVD's sold
of the animated Disney Films, there should be a revitalized
interest in the great classic characters.</FONT></DIV>
