Hi!

I bought some Disney Marvel Comics today. I had never seen them before,
but they look quite impressive. When I compare these Marvel Comics
with the new layout of the Gladstone comics (with the recycled paper),
I like the Marvels better. Ofcourse the Gladstones are the ones,
which have THE stories everyone wants, like Rosa and Barks. But
the covers of the Marvel comics are very bright! Fortunately,
it's not the cover that counts. It's the -stories- that are
important. In that view, I prefere the Gladstones!

My view:
I think, Marvel is a much larger company. They have all these X-Men
and Spiderman comics. That way, they can afford to have these good-
looking covers. Or are these Marvel comics more popular in the States?
Compared to the ones from Gladstone. Is that true?

What's with this 'Disney Comic Hits!'? Is it a replacement of 'Beauty 
and the Beast', 'Disney Afternoon', 'Little Mermaid' and 'Aladdin'? Or 
is it a news series.  

HARRY:
>> Disney-Comics at student.docs.uu.se?
> Yes, it is. It's just a different address of the same mailbox, 

So you could practically use every word you'd like in stead of 'Minsk'?
Like: 'Disney-Comics at MList.Docs.UU.SE' or 'Disney-Comics at Tomato.Docs.UU.SE'?

I'm sorry! I didn't know that. You're right about the "j" and "y", I
do pronounce them the same in English. When I use them in _words_ that
is! As seperate letters, I always pronounce the "j" like "jay" (like
Jay Leno) and the "y" like "why".

I don't have a scanner myself. I'd have to go to someone else to do it.
It could take a while, but I'll let you know when I have the .GIF files!
