It's the Edna St. Vincent Millay syndro...GeoX,<br /><br />It's the Edna St. Vincent Millay syndrome: burn the "Casty candle" at both ends until you run out of wick. At the very least, Boom! should consider a DONALD or $CROOGE back-up for the next Casty-fest.<br /><br />This week's UNCLE $CROOGE (the first Boom! issue with an August cover date) includes the official announcement of the cancellation of HERO SQUAD and WIZARDS OF MICKEY. It's pretty much the happy-talk you'd expect, but I am surprised that they don't seem to be keeping the door open at least a crack for the future use of ULTRAHEROES and WIZARDS material in existing titles. Has the bloom fallen THAT far off the rose for what are described as "successful" concepts?<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-55141746319048078552010-08-11T01:12:45.486-04:002010-08-11T01:12:45.486-04:00Here's my very serious question: are we EVER A...Here's my very serious question: are we EVER AGAIN going to see, oh, I don't know, a DUCK story in WDC? You know I'm gunning for that unpublished-in-the-US Van Horn stuff, but CRIKEY, even just some random Vicar-drawn shorts would be like manna from Heaven at this point. What's the deal, Boom!-people?GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-62185482039661607742010-08-10T06:23:51.266-04:002010-08-10T06:23:51.266-04:00>>Produced that way in Holland—glad you like...>>Produced that way in Holland—glad you liked it!<br /><br />So David Gerstein can speak both italian and dutch!

Now I'll explain you why. The italian version was published in two parts. Americans decided instead to publish it in four parts. Since the end of the first part (italian version) happened at page 5 of the third part (american version) they cut three cliffhanger panels generating suspence at the end of the first part and the title panel of the second part. This is my (imperfect) translation of the three cliffhanger panels:<br />-first panel:<br />--Who is threatening Peg Leg Pete and co.? <br />--Trudy: There is someone else in the valley!<br />-second panel:<br />--who is hanging over Minnie and Goofy?<br />--Minnie and Goofy: Noooo...<br />-third panel:<br />--and which terrible mysteries, in fine, are hidden by this man?<br />--Barraquater:... the only survivor of "Eon Vortex" project!<br />--The answers to every question... in a week's time!<br />--End of the first part.<br />Since these cliffhanger panels would have been published at page five of the third part (and not at the end of a part), they are right to cut them. However I'd prefer that the translators would have made the final of the first part (italian version) and the final of the second part (american version) to overlap. In this way they could have used the cliffhanger panels in order to generate suspence in the american version too, changing only "in a week's time" into "in a month's time".<br /><br />About the publication of "back up stories": why they don't publish better stories than "Minnie runs out of time"? For exemple "Pippo e la fattucchiera" (litterally "Goofy and the witch", 1960, 30 pages). In this story Witch Hazel tries to convince Goofy that she is a witch but Goofy doesn't believe her despite her magic tricks. This is the first of many stories about Goofy and Hazel. I think this story should be published in the USA because the fact she tries to convince Goofy that she is a witch is one of the main features of Hazel!<br /><br />Sorry for my (imperfect) english, but it's difficult to write in a non-native language! I have lesser difficulties to understand written english (the spoken one is almost unintelligible for (or to?) me! My sensation is that native speakers speak too fastly!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-45533189685242124782010-08-08T17:35:36.506-04:002010-08-08T17:35:36.506-04:00Produced that way in Holland—glad you liked it!Produced that way in Holland—glad you liked it!ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.com
