welcome to this list! it's nice to see another American (assumption?) fan 
pop up here as we seem to be few and far between outside of the actual 
creators.

i'm really fond of the anniversary issues myself as I know that we're 
usually in for something pretty good. My first encounter with them - while 
not a 250th issue deal - was the full print of the Miracle Master by 
Gladstone.  in (I THINK) 244. I was a little bit dissapointed that Mickey 
Mouse 250 ended up being only Bill Wright's "Sinister Sorcerer" when I 
finally found it. but considering how much they went all out for that 
Miracle Master print I think missing the ball a bit on 250 was justified. :)

For anyone at Gemstone - What's the next major milestone issue coming up 
with the various books anyway?
