    Does that mean you now have the "Prisoner of White Agony Creek?" Is it
being scheduled to come out before its debut in "Uncle Scrooge?" I only ask
because the summer of 2006 seems early, since no word exists about its
publication in Europe yet (as far as I know). I'm excited about this
prospect though and look forward to buying and reading this book.

    I think that Don Rosa mentioned that Gemstone was planning to release a
"complete" hardback version of "Lo$" sometime in 2007. In it, the 12
chapters of course would still be retained together with the additional
B-ones at the end. Is this project still on the table (I realize 2007 a long
ways away yet not too long)? For one, when I heard this news, I was
EXTREMELY excited. For such a magnificent series about these wonderful,
beloved characters, this is exactly the type of format that I want to
purchase the "Lo$" so as to collect and enjoy it forever in "completed"
form. Please tell me such a project remains in the works, and you can sign
me up already to purchase it, no matter the high cost, which I'm sure it
will be.

    As for 2006, does Gemstone have any other special collections or
projects in the near future? Keep up the good work. I've loved your comics,
since I was a young child during the Gladstone days and still do in my
college years. I wish other Americans appreciated them, as much as people on
this list for example, but that is their loss, unfortunately. Merry
Christmas!
Sincerely,
Anthony Vuono
