How many pages will the issue contain? 
Will it only contain letters and (not-yet-written?) articles, or will 
there also be (lots of) unique art?

I think $10/$13 for a fanzine is quite a lot of money. I may be wrong, 
though. At least, I would like to have more information about what I 
will get, before requesting a copy. I don't care if the issue is 
numbered. Such numbering only suggests I'll be paying more than needed, 
just because someone put a number on it.

The message asks for thoughts on the question "Will Barks collecting 
survive us?" I think it's going to be pretty hard if even the fanzines 
try to keep themselves within "limited editions". And why would they?

Just my two cents. And again, I might be wrong.
