What's going on?

[Arthur de Wolf]

Hi everyone,

There're some things I'd like to know. I'm currently collecting six
bimonthly comics by Gladstone. They're called:

	Walt Disney's Comics and Stories
	Donald Duck
	Donald Duck Adventures
	Uncle Scrooge
	Uncle Scrooge Adventures
	Donald and Mickey

As I'm reading the messages on this newsgroup, I'm getting the feeling
that there're going to be some serious changes at Gladstone.
First of all, I got #1 issue if Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse last time.
So that would mean that the Donald and Mickey comic has stopped!

Yesterday, I got Donald Duck Adventures #34. It was printed on this
'recycled looking' paper (like DD&MM). Why is this? I haven't got any 
new issues of the other four comics, but are they going to change too?

It's not only the paper that has changed. I also noticed that there
isn't a 'letters page' (like the MAIL BIN and the ADVENTURE'S LOG) 
anymore. Also the price sunk from $1.95/$2.50 to $1.50/$2.10

Why are all these changes going on? And what about the other comics.
Are there any new comics being published by Gladstone? 

What about this "Walt Disney Giant", that you're all talking about?
Is it a new serie, that is being published every 2 months?

I heard that it's not going very well with Gladstone, because Disney 
comics aren't very popular in the States anymore. I don't know if this
is true, but does it have anything to do with all of the things 
I mentioned here?

I'm from Holland, you know. And I'm not quite aware of all these 
things happening in the States, so I hope someone can tell me 
more about it.
