As we know, Gemstone is about to start republishing Disney Comics,
with "Uncle Scrooge", "Walt Disney's Comics & Stories", and later on
also "Mickey Mouse" and "Donald Duck", I understand.
* We may finally buy Rosa stories in the original language;
* the required doses of Barks will be injected into the veins of the
new generations;
* we'll again see Gladstone Gander try to out-date Donald for the premier
datee Daisy;
* our blood will shiver (does blood shiver? yes I think so, at least quaver)
when Mickey is pitted against formidable adversaries in fiendish plots
(perhaps Peg-Leg Pete will win, next time?);
&cetera &cetera. Long live. Hurrah. Applause.
But how shall we go about actually getting the stuff?
* Take the bus to Torp airport and jump onto one of the less expensive
flights to New York or Chicago. Bring your passport. Remember to tell
your boss that you might be late for work. Then spend some days trying
to locate comic shops. Maybe a couple of these will actually carry the
new Gemstone magazines. And maybe not.
* Try to subscribe directly from gemstone. It should be possible.
* OR, if you live in Norway, at least, or Scandinavia, it might be easier
& simpler & less expensive to go to www.calisota.no . Check out
"News" / nyheter, and "Subscription" / abonnement, or use the contact
mail address given there. This will take you to a very dependable guy,
Harald A. Subscribers to the Disney Comics magazines will get the
"Maharajah Donald" March of Comics #4 1947 for free. (Not the ugly
boring original, but the slick freshly printed one, which has better paper quality.)
Sorry about the "commercial plug" aspect of this mailing, but I simply consider
this valuable information for us Scandinavians, at least. (I have nothing to
do with www.calisota.no myself, I'm simply glad it exists.)
