<DIV>Hey everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> I just want to say thanks to the kind words with
regards to my recent email. I really hope that we do see a "Donald Duck"
prestige title soon. There seems to be a market for it, based on this list
alone! </DIV>
<DIV> However, I also wanted to bring something else to
Gary and this list's attention that I just noticed today. In celebration of
Scrooge McDuck's 60th Anniversary, Don Rosa is doing 12 spectacular posters. Go
to this link for a view of some of them: <A

</DIV>
<DIV> My question to Gary is if Gemstone has any plans to
use this wonderful artwork in some way along with commentary from Rosa about
what they portray (although I imagine we Duck fans here know!). Personally, I
would love to see them in an American 2007 or 2008 calendar! I don't know if
Gemstone has the ability to do this, but I think such a product would sell
wonderfully if strategically distributed. Also, I might add that something as
simple as a calendar in mainstream stores like Walmart, Barnes and Noble, etc.,
could generate popular interest in these characters and hence the comic
books.</DIV>
<DIV> Anyways, just food for thought. Maybe, some Rosa
and Duck fans on this list agree with me again.....</DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Anthony</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
