YAI (= Yet Another Index)

Here's an index of the covers and comics in Gladstone's digests, i.e.,
those small-sized books that appeared 1986-7: Walt Disney's Comics
Digest (WDCDG), Donald Duck Digest (DDD), Uncle Scrooge Digest (USD),
and Mickey Mouse Digest (MMD). WDCDG is abbreviated that way (with an
ending G as in Gladstone) so as to not confuse it with the earlier
WDCD from Gold Key.
For every entry I list:
o Number of pages (FC for front covers). A "+" indicates half a page
more, so "6+" is six and a half pages.
o Origin, i.e., the book where the story or cover originally
appeared. (I use the "long" names for the four-colors.) This piece
of info is very often missing for the covers. A "*" indicates that
this isn't really the origin, as it was originally a newspaper strip
or page. If I knew the date I'd put that in instead.
o Creators in three columns: writer, penciller, and inker. My
sources for that are the tables of contents for the books, later info
from Gladstone in letter pages etc., other indexes, and own
observation of the stories. I hope most of it is correct. For an
explanation of the abbrevs, see the legend after the index.
o Title. The title character is abbreviated---see the legend after
the index. If the story doesn't have a title I've put something,
mostly the title in the contents page, inside parentheses.
Lines beginning with "!" are comments on the preceding line.
