Two new Gemstone Disney comics are coming at you! And you’ll be a darned
sight poorer for missing these $6.95, 64-page prestige format softbacks. This
month we’re bubbling over with Gottfredson, Barks, José Carioca and — as
they say on TV — more of what you want!

What, you don’t
believe us? Let Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #670 prove it to you! A
classic Tom Wood cover wraps our opening epic, Donald Duck’s “Rewarding
Formula” by fan favorites Freddy Milton and Daan Jippes. Science-hater
Donald refuses to accept any theory that’s too complex for him to understand —
but he’s forced to shut up and deal when he visits Science Peak, a Mount
Rushmore-like monument to famous brainiacs. Throw in three smart nephews, the
wise Professor Broadmind, and the criminal Desperate Doe Boys and you’ve got a
real caper going!
Next it’s time for chapter one of a much-requested 1941
Floyd Gottfredson Mickey saga: “Love Trouble!” What if Mickey got
just a little too wrapped up in his adventures away from home — just
enough that he didn’t notice Minnie’s resentment of his long absences? What if
she decided to make him pay more attention to her… by getting a new
boyfriend? ”Montmorency Rodent,” Minnie’s new man, is tall, dark,
and handsome… not to mention styling like you’ve never seen! It’s up to Mickey
to out-cool Monty in the thick of high society. And that calls for
strategy!
Great backup stories round out the book in style. Gyro Gearloose
records sounds from the future in Stefan Petrucha’s “Scream Team”
…and learns his lab will soon be subject to a break-in! Then it’s time to
celebrate Carnaval Disney-style — with “The Carnival King,” a
classic Carl Buettner José Carioca romp. Gil Turner’s Big Bad Wolf goes
“Camping Out” in a reprint from Vacation Parade #1… and
runs into trouble with bigger, badder forest fiends! Finally Donald, Daisy, and
Gladstone have “Wheels on Fire” in the penultimate chapter of our
ongoing Formula One serial.

When you’re through with WDC&S,
stick around for Uncle Scrooge #355, another blockbuster issue! The
excitement starts with a feature-length Barks epic making its first American
comic book reappearance in some 19 years. When Scrooge nurses his health taking
a trip by ship, he lands up a creek with the Beagle Boys, a cabbage-crunching
dotty professor, and “The Mysterious Stone Ray!” Soon Donald and his
nephews are as petrified as the Rock of Gibraltar, and Scrooge will need fast
reflexes and faster wits to rescue them!
Up next in our book is Gyro
Gearloose in “Creative Impulse,” pairing Finnish fan favorite Kari
Korhonen with Spanish artist Tino Santanach and longtime American script doctor
Tony Isabella (Black Lightning). Gyro falls prey to sudden, compulsive
inventing urges — and soon he’s repairing or upgrading every machine he sees!
Can Donald cure him of his problem… and hold onto a new job in the
bargain?
Magica De Spell is up next in “Bottled Battlers,” an
adventure scripted by Carl Barks and recently redrawn in Barksian style by Daan
Jippes. During a broom-trip to Scrooge’s money bin, Magica loses her break-in
weapon — a hefty bottle of complex Formula X. When the Junior Woodchucks try to
prevent her recovering it, she wastes little time imprisoning them inside an
even heftier bottle!
Finishing off this stellar issue is “Something
From Nothing,” by Tomasz Kolodziejczak, Donald D. Markstein, and Vicar.
When Scrooge discovers a megamarket that sells normally expensive products for
pennies, his first step is to worry about business competition. But greater
worries follow fast when Scrooge visits the “Everything Store” up
close and personal — only to vanish without a trace!
