Scrooge Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I haven't seen a new WDC&S or Uncle Scrooge for well over two months. I know Gemstone haven't been the most reliable publisher of late, but coupled with the thread on Diamond's problems, I wonder if we have seen the last of those titles? Anyone know any different? good point, I noticed the schedule looked off. I am most distressed about the news of their not having paid the printer for the EC Archives. I was hoping the project would reach completion ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Nearing the end of my purchases... one more biggie to go in a few days. What I like about this one is while it is the 2nd Barks art in the title, it's the 1st time he wrote & drew any story for Dell!

Funny bird-on-bird violence too, kind of like the Thanksgiving dinner covers. Jack at least Donald's beak escaped unscathed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great imaginary Walt Kelly cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This was a cgc 6.0 OW I just tore open That is such a great story! I still remember getting my first issue of that comic in the mail as a kid. I was sick and had an awful day at school, got dropped off at the wrong place by the school bus in the rain and miserably walked home only to find, "Voodoo Hoodoo!" Changed my whole outlook on the day as I recall. Probably paid all of five bucks for it too, but condition wasn't so important in those days so yours is a tad better!

Transplant Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This was a cgc 6.0 OW I just tore open A wee bit better than the copy I got from you. But it also goes to show how Ducks get hammered by CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a GD- from a lot in March of last year. Wow. Didn't realize it had been that long. Better be some good art on those cards for as long as I had to wait. Oh, payment wait time > shipment wait time. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
