	PER:
	"DD 293: cover by Heymans, Taliaferro strips, what more??"
	The DD-story in the issue is actually "The Dye is Cast", and
the Taliaferro strips in the back are mostly a continuity about a
superstitious DD trying to avoid being jinxed.  I've just fixed my
error on the "new Gladstones" WWW-page.
	DD&MM 2:  WDC 203 + Aladdin part 2.  Cover by whom?
	The cover is by Sparky Moore.  I know this name, maybe he did
some work for Disney Comics Inc.?  His art is VERY 1950s, so I thought
this was a Dick Moores cover until I looked at the credits.
	USA 35: "Temple of Khaos".  Nothing more?  Cover by whom?
	There's also a 1-page DD gag, but I can't remember what it's
about.  Drawn by Tony Strobl though.  Then the cover is by William Van
Horn.
	And the cover of WDG 2 is just an enlarged CB panel from the
"King Solomon" story -- the same kind of thing they do for the
CBL-albums.  Now and then they like to have a "new Barks cover" rather
than one of the modern-day artists illustrate a story.

	JORGEN:
	I'll try suggesting "Plastic Mickey" to Gladstone, but whether
they use it will probably rely on whether their license to publish
Disney comics gets renewed (according to some magazine articles, they
have a 3-year license, and that will expire after DDMM 6... and the
Egmont stories for DDMM 4-6 are, I think, already chosen.  #4 is "The
Treasure of Shark Reef" (with Eli Squinch) and #5 is "The Trojan
Horse" (a good Pegleg Pete story).  I don't know what's in #6
though... maybe JANET, you'd like to personally get in touch with
Gladstone about your story?  It sounds GREAT.
