So , here's a line for discussion of Disney-based comics - Especially the " ducks and mice " , Mickey/Donald/Uncle $. , etc. , although if there's anything to say about a Hanna Montana or Pirates of the Carribean(Sic??) or Haunted amnasion comic , go ahead...
I bough UNCLE SCROOGE #403 to-day at the ol' LCS , it was the first of Boom's Disneys I bought in a while , lack of money and said LCS not seeming to be totally on the ball when came to getting everything in and Boom!'s confusing system of assigning stories to titles and just being unsure about what I read all contributed .
I haven't but slightly glanced at this ish , which features a lead story by Romano Scarpa and a back-up by Daan Jippes - Both new to trhe U. S. ??? - , both credited , story-wise , solely to them - Even the English dialogue .
I guess the Scarpa story might have been drawn with that late-20th century " album " format in mind , as it's shrunken slightly past the " normal " American comic-book story page size to fit in , somewhat proprtionately wider then , while Jipppes' story is more in the U. S. standard funny-nbook page size .
It's now " kaboom " for the line's name , not " Boom Studios Kids " . Why not "Sh-Boom " ( Um...Distracts your kids by making them shut up and read so you can have some peace and quiet !!!!! ) , na na na na na na na na na na , hey nonny ding dong , or does that not strike a chord ?

I haven't gotten into the Disney Boom books, as the higher price and lack of familiarity with some of the creators steered me away. I usually liked the Gladstone books, though, and I like a bunch of the other Boom Kids books, so I'd be interested in others' opinions of the Disney books.
I imagine Boom changed the name because kids don't like reading books labeled for kids, so they hid the name some. KaBoom is kind of clever, in that it alludes to Kids with the K and retains the Boom name.
I'm sorry to see they seem to have stopped doing Incredibles, or at least have slowed it way down, so I've got a Boom slot open if one of the Disney books is worth picking up.

...Yeah , as far as American creators go , Don Rosa has retired* , and the ( seperately ) father and son with Dutch-y names who are the other North American latter-day Dis-creators of general fan note , um , it seems that ninimizing more traditionally " funny " , short , stories has overlooked...um , those two !...So , it basically all Europeans , I guess .
I commented about the dialogue credits because , it the earliest issues of Boom!'s Disneys , practically every story was translated by the same woman with an Italian name , obviously a lingistically skilled employee somewhere , when I was at Boom!'s Disney presentation at Wondercon 2010 they acknowledged her , when I asked...
The Gottfredson Mickey Mouse collection from Fantagraphics will be the big Disney comic news this year.
...William Van Horn is the senior of the two NA artists that I was referencing .
A suprisingly large number of the modern B. Disney titles are not indexed at Comics.Org , for a line with such a dedicated , established , fandom...

-To , belatedly , respond to my asterik above , there is a smaller-scale ( Um , meaning " Not from Wizard World or Comic-Con " ??????? ) comics convention coming up soon , near me in San Jose , CA . Don Rosa is a guest there !!!!!!!!!!!
Frankly , I had read that he did not do autographs/whatever at conventions in the US - partly , frankly , because he's grumpy about the failure of his material to reach as large an audience/make him as big -time as he ( In his own mind , anyway . ) deserves to be in the US and so does not do " fan " things/promotional stuff on this continent.........Well...anyhow .
