<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dark Horse comics is going to be releasing a nearly
500 page B/W collection of Casper the Ghost stories in June. I would
imagine if Dark Horse thinks there is an audience for Casper stories in such a
format, that Gemstone should be able to publish a similar type of title with
Duck or Mouse stories.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question for Gary. At first you
compared a possible B/W Gemstone title to "Shonen Jump". Later you seemed
to compare it more to a Showcase/Essentials type title. I think there are
two big differences to the two. One, Shonen Jump comes out on a regular
basis like a periodical. Showcase/Essentials do not come out on a monthly
or regular basis. Two, Shonen Jump costs about 5 or 6 dollars each,
whereas Showcase/Essentials cost more like between $15.00 and $20.00. I
would be curious whether Shonen Jump or Showcase/Essentials is the type of B/W
title Gemstone is considering? Of course from what has been written on the
list, Gemstone may be reconsidering having such a B/W title at all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course I can't post to the ML without mentioning
a 3rd monthly prestige format title! :) Just wondering if anyone at
Gemstone is talking or discussing this, or if it is not even on Gemstone's
"radar" at this time? If anyone at Gemstone has *any* info about this, I
and many other list members would love to hear about it.</FONT></DIV>
