----------------------------------

A really good month. US 344 sounds like it may be one of the best US issues 
ever with Rota/Scarpa/lesser known Barks stories. Gemstone is getting better 
with almost every month that passes by as far as I'm concerned (except for the 
Bucky Bug conspirators that obviously haunts their halls. ;)
