I'm at work () - but here's a link to a copy for sale.

The European books are, unfortunately, not in english - I *think* they are Finnish.  The publisher is the famous Edgemont and they even have NEW stories coming out.

How's this for sad:  I actually had a dream that I went into my Comic Shop and there was a new issue of Uncle Scrooge.  It had a green cover.

  Sadly, it seems that day is far off, if ever.

That US 310 is a recent issue. It has a $6.95 cover price! It's not even an old issue so what is the reasoning for it being so expensive, just low distribution?

This ebay listing is funny. It says a "website" values 310 at $300. I wonder if the seller and the website are one and the same? hmmm...

Sadly, I've gotten used to some of the foreign writing styles and actually look for some of the artist/writers. It just took some time to get used to their interpretations of the characters.

That auction looks good!

oooooo!   The Uncle Scrooge #179!  If you want to sell that baby!  I have one, but am always interested in getting one in better shape.

Well...a little research and.... apparently Archie DID distribute some of the Gladstone books way back.

So there you have it.

...Just to revive this:
  Of course , Boom! comics HAS picked up and revived the traditional " ducks and mice " Disney titles , re-starting Uncle $crooge , WDC&S , and Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse ( " and Friends " , in both cases ) in standard 32-pagers - generally !!!!!!!!! - selling for the now-standard $2.99 .
  Something that was never quite explicitly spelled out here , to be fair to Gemstone , was , that their WDC&S and $crooge titles were , indeed , " mini-TPB "/Prestige Format almost-books , on slick paper with maybe (at most??) 4 pages of ads...and 60 of comics material !!!!!!!!!!! They did work out to slightly less per page than the 32-pagers which they also published for a while .

...Don Rosa has retired and apparently has no more non-published in America stories .
  WDC&S #700 had as a bonus a short story by one of the other artists (Whose name escaped me right now and I am under a deadline ) whom latter-day fans of the more " traditional " type have liked .
  Its color is credited as having been done by Egmont , presumably not meaning the Italian publisher whom I guess?? have put together all the material Boom! has published to date - You can really tell the difference !!!!!!!!! - the Egmont-ed story has far more a " traditional " Disney look !
  It is also a self-contained humor story , which I would like to see more of .
  At another , somewhat " older " , forum , comment was made that Boom! appeared to be moving away from Barks-style adventure stories , " rather in the 19th century Jules Verne/' Kidnapped ' tradition " .
  Myself , just as I tend to go to Archie most of all for short humor stories which are GOOD more than I go to them for " event " stories or Archie's Weird Mysteries or Life With Archie-style " special/semi-serious " stuff ( Though that's part of it too !!!!! ) , I maybe , once we are beyond Bark's stories , especially his stone classic absolute best !!!!!!!!!!! , I want humor from Disney .
  Maybe , emulating what DC did in the 90s with their Superman titles , Boom! ( Who actually publish the Disneys under a Boom! Kids logo , inder which they publish Pixar- and Jim Henson-based titles , too . ) could supplement their 4 monthly Distitles , as above , w/a quarterly " DISNEY FUNTIME " , or whatnot , title concentrating on said short , humoror-oriented stories ?
  I've seen some of the other Boom! Kids titles at newsstand accounts , therefore I presume that the Boom! Disneys are at non-comics shop places , too , but , I have not , that I can recall , actually seen any .
  BTW , it appears that , whereas Gemstone went to some lengths to redialogue their European material for a " more American " feel , sometimes crediting known semi-pros for this chore , Boom! is sticking with the Italian company's English translation , resulting in a correct , but perhaps a little more bland " International English " feel , it seems to me - Which well may be a better idea , for all I know , considering the far larger amount of immigrants' children in the US and Canada of the last 20 years .
  I guess Gemstone was meant to be a " successor " to Gladstone , which I guess was the Hamilton company's name for their Disney comics , and , given the Disney connection of the name , I presume they only used it on the Disneys ?

BTW-- BOOM! Studois also puts out a very fine & fun series, The Incredibles.

Art & storylines are both true to the film, & original & fresh.

And, I believe, very Archie-Fan-Friendly.

I could see an Archie/Incredibles crossover, someday.


And check out the graphic novel Incredibles collection from BOOM!, over on Amazon.
