Comics Storage/DDA Numbering/DD&Friends?

[ZeldasTriforce@aol.com]

I sent this email yesterday and I didn't get a post acknowledgement or 
anything. So I'm sending it a second time, hopefully it won't turn out to be a 
double post.

To Rodney:

I only got into Disney comics during the Disney Comics(1990-93) era. My only 
first-hand expreience(comics I've bought myself when they appeared for the 
first time) is with Disney Comics and Gladstone Series II. The only Series I 
comics I've ever had were bought used in comic shops, in which a majority of them 
are yellowed in the way I described. So I guess I had the luck of being comics 
that weren't stored properly(though the covers and pages outside of yellowing 
are great). 

Personally, except for the few comics(Series 1, a few others) I've bought 
that were already  bagged/boarded, I've just put my Disney comics in small stacks 
in plastic grocery bags! They've all stayed nice and white/great condition 
overall. I guess the Don Rosa way of comics storage is the best way!

But I've thought of buying bags/boards for the rest of my comics. So you 
suggest changing them every few years? What happens to the boards/bags that hurts 
the comics?

Oh, a small comment about the upcoming DDA. Apparently it will be called #1? 
I feel sorry for a Disney comics newbie just getting into DDA collecting. You 
have DDA #1 from the Gladstone era. Then DDA #1 for the Disney Comics era. 
Then Series 2 begins with it's own numbering continuing from Series 1. Now, 
here's a third DDA #1. Has Disney comics decided to follow Marvel? ;)

Also it seems that the formerly titled Gemstone comics 'Donald Duck and 
Friends' has now become Donald Duck? Yet it'll still have a supporting Mickey 
story? If that's so, the DD&Friends moniker would have seemed a better fit with 
'Mickey Mouse and Friends', which is doing the opposite, except with Mickey at 
the forefront.
