You basically summarized things perfectly in my opinion. I was willing
to pay up for Barks and Rosa but now I flip through new books and the
art seems uncompelling and the stories not what I am used to.

I asked my local comic store how disney was selling and the kids do not
purchase it for themselves. He said the parents are buying them for their
kids when they happen to sell. I imagine summer vacations up north do
require something to keep the kids happy on the car ride or rainy days?

Barks is Barks. What can I say?

Rosa was dedicated ?because? he liked it so much.

How does one find a person like that? Many are willing but few are able?
