"Hound of the Whiskervilles." SC, 5x7, 144pages, FC  $10.95

Donald Duck and Friends #340 --- May is Donald's "birthday," so this issue

Vicar. 32 pages, FC  $2.95

Donald Duck Adventures #18 --- Donald and Fethry return as TNT agents in 
"Let's Get Kraken" by Jensen (so popular they don't even need to say his first 
name anymore!) and Andersen. Also, Mickey squares off against his long time foe 
in "Blot Clot" by Petrucha and Miguel. Lastly, Donald dons long underwear to

"The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of," Mickey must contend with his own dreams that

Uncle Scrooge #354 --- Scrooge, Donald, and the Boys butt heads once again 
with the gentleman thief Arpin Lusene in "The Black Knight Glorps Again," by Don

day Mickey adventure, "Sandgate," written and illustrated by Noel Van Horn. SC, 
80 pages, FC  $8.95

Slave Labor Graphics:

Wonderland #1 --- (I include this because it says it's inspired by the Disney 
movie Alice in Wonderland, but the art certainly looks nothing like the film) 
What happened when Alice left Wonderland at the end of the classic Disney 
animated film? This new series follows the adventure, chaos, and hijinks in 
Wonderland as the Queen of Hearts is determined to get to the bottom of who exactly 
caused her so much trouble. We're also introduced to the other human resident 
of Wonderland, a timid little girl named Maryanne. This continuation of the 
classic Disney film will satisfy fans of all versions of Wonderland. 32 pages, 
FC  $3.50

Cars - Cine Manga and Junior Cine-Manga --- Lightning McQueen is a hotshot 
rookie race car, driven to win the coveted Piston Cup. While heading to the

forced to slow down for the first time in his life. In doing so he learns the 
importance of teamwork and friendship - and discovers that life is about the 
journey, not the finish line. $5.99/$3.99, 48pages/24 pages, 5x7 7/16 - 6x9.
