Swedish publication of GotLL

[Mattias Hallin]

DON and GARY:

    I just gave Don's message to Stefan, and he says that the Swedish 
publication of GotLL is an unusually serious affair: it won't be published in 
the Kalle Anka & C:o weekly, but in a special Junior Woodchucks graphic 
album/book, together with EXTENSIVE background material on the underlying 
historical facts and such. Also, the editor of this album is much more 
interested, both in the story as such, and also in this background information,
than would the average editor at Hemmets Journal. To quote Stefan, "this is 
THE instance of Don Rosa-publication in Sweden that might match what Gladstone 
does".

He has not as yet briefed his editor on this discussion we've been having
lately, but will probably do it early next week or so.

Of course he/they are ONLY interested in the changes pertaining to the Marco
Polo sequence. Stefan says he already has a "go-ahead" on changing the
dialogue, and would thus like to know in as much detail as possible WHAT you
substituted for Marco Polo (he knows about the muslim scholars - I told him
that) and how the script was actually changed in those panels that he/they
ALREADY HAVE (i.e. the "old version" panels). If it's possible for you to fill
him in on this through the list (or by regular mail), he asks, would you please
do that?

If this isn't possible - GARY: is it possible for Stefan Dios/Hemmets
Journal/Egmont to get access to usable copies of the material that Don has sent
you? IF necessary also the new art for the Marco Polo sequence? He has some
hope, you see, of getting his editor's "OK" on using the art-changes in the
Marco Polo sequence, and when I told him that you're on the list, too, now,
asked me to ask you this, sorta PRELIMINARY - you don't have to make any
legally binding promises here and now, but perhaps "yes, I think that would be
possible" or "well, I'm not so sure..." or "don't really think so, old chap,
don't you know". Hmm?

Anyway, Stefan sends his regards to both of you - he was pretty sure he'd met
you, too, Gary; and so of course does
