The Gladstone list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of last year some people volunteered to contribute to our
Gladstone List. They asked for the issues left to be done, and the format
the list should have. I think it is best that one person coordinates
the list, me for instance (if you have problems with that, just tell me).
This could save us unnecessary double work, the use of different codes
for the same artists etc.
(Sorry I didn't start this before christmas, but I was very busy.)
Compiling the list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "
Volunteers are Per Starback, Hannes Faestermann, Torsten W Adair, Andrew
Krieg. Of course, more volunteers are very welcome.
I suggest the following procedure:
1. e-mail to me the Gladstone issues you are working on or are planning to
work on in the near future.
"
The most recent list of 'to-be-done's (according to Per Starback):
DD 268-272, 274-277
DDA 1, 3-4, 6-7, 9-11, 13, 15-16, 18
DT 1-13
MM (Per will do these)
US 210-214, 216-219, 221-227, 229-234, 236-238, 240
USA 1-3, 7-8, 10-13, 18-19
WDC 512-516, 518-525, 527-530, 532-539, 542-545
some specials
Albums (Andrew will convert his list)
(BTW: I plan to make a 'Disney Comics' comics list myself; well, only
WDC, DDA and US; well, only the issues I have)
2. e-mail to me the parts of the list that are finished (I can do
the format conversions, if necessary. E.g. Per's Digest list, and my
own part need some layout changes)
3. in this mail I include a list of creators (writers, artists) and title
characters. If you find an artist/character that is not mentioned yet,
contact me for a unique abbreviation.
4. from time to time, I will post a list of issues to be done.
5. the first version of the Gladstone list could be finished by, let's
say, april 1993 (?).
Before posting to the list, the authors (the people named above and
me) could review the finished list.
Interim versions can always be obtained from me by e-mail request, by
anyone.
(Parts of) the list already sent to me should not be changed without
my knowledge.
6. If you have any problems with 1.-5., let me know. I don't want to look
like a dictator, but we have to have some rules.
We could continue the discussion about the format of the list after we
have finished the first version.
The layout of the list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For every entry we list (on fixed positions, *NOT* using TABs):
1. (position 1) Code of Gladstone issue:
CP Christmas Parade
DBP Disneyland Birthday Party
DD Donald Duck
DDA Donald Duck Adventures
GCA Gladstone Album
GG Gladstone Giant
MD Mickey and Donald
US Uncle Scrooge
USA Uncle Scrooge Adventures
USGD Uncle Scrooge Goes to Disneyland
WDC Walt Disney's Comics and Stories
2. (position 11) Number of pages, or
FC = front cover
CF = center fold
PI = full page illustration
IL = illustration ("the Gladstone that never was")
A "+" indicates half a page more, so "6+" is six and a half pages.
Number of pages is rounded to halves of pages.
3. (position 15) Code, this is the _exact_ code as seen in the story.
If a story or cover has no code, a code can be added, e.g. if the
original publication of a reprint is known.
4. (positions 27, 31, 35) Creators in three columns: writer, penciller,
and inker.
If writer not mentioned: writer unknown.
If inker not mentioned: inker = penciler. If inker = '?': inker unknown.
Creator + '?' means: uncertain.
Creator + '+' means: the main creator listed wasn't alone.
5. (position 39) Title prefix and title or description.
The title character is abbreviated, see the legend below.
Title prefix:
T: exact title (even a cover can have a title!)
D: description from the contents page, if the story has no title
O: own description, if T: and D: not available.
Texts between [] after the title/description are comments.
