In ftp.lysator.liu.se:/pub/comics/disney/crone there are some comics
titled "Duck Album" and "Donald Duck Album" in the file
four-colors.titles.  Unfortunately there are no dates of comics
there---I guess they ought to be added.  Then in the file
four-colors.index are the data on the comics in those books.  Maybe
one of the books Jamal has is OS 1239 from 1961.  Then the index says:

Then it's evidently Jack Bradbury (= JB) that Jamal thinks is lousy.
Four Color 1140 which is a Donald Duck Album from 1960 is mostly by
Tony Strobl (= TS) though.  None of them are lousy in my humble
opinion by the way.

Does your employer know that you're badmouthing snail mail like that.
:-)

She isn't on this list though, but I guess the ranger-listers will
know the answer to that question (if there is one).  Write to
Stephanie da Silva <arielle at taronga.com> to join ranger-list which is
about Disney TV animation.
