Torsten here.  Having spent too much time reading Marvel Comics, and
trying to figure out how Spider-Man can stick to walls, I tend to question
science fiction when it appears in comic books.  I guess my Suspension of
Disbelief needs to be loosened.

Ahem.  My name is Torsten Adair.  I am a library science student who hopes
to infiltrate libraries from the inside, and thus expose a greater number
of the American populace to the wonders and excitement of reading comic
books.  I am 23 years old, and I once read the Dell/Western/Gold Key
Disneys as a child.  I started collecting comic books in 1984, and bought
the early Gladstones.  While not a devout Disney Comics collector, I do
enjoy the stories, and I find them a nice balance to the more heavier
Cerebus and Sandman.  My mother comes from Hanover, Germany, which
explains how an American like myself got such a non-American name.  


I have two questions:
	What other Disney Comics stories (outside of the Ducks) should I
look at?  Any other artists/writers?  Any opinions on Disney Showcase?

	I vaguely recall a Donald Duck story involving DD buying a lot of
plants for his garden?  I am certain it was Barks.  Did anyone besides
Barks do DD/US stories for Dell?
