Ma cose ne pensa del fatto che in Italia, le storie di Don Rosa vengono publiccatte molto molto tardi. In Francia, Don Rosa vienne publicatto gia nel 1988 (gennario). Per esempio, mi sembra che Mondadori/Disney Italia ha publicatto produzione Olandese molto tardi, e quasimente nessun produzione francese. Credo che la Francia sia il sole paese nel qui vengono publicatte assolutamento tutte le produzione (Brasile/Olandese/Another Rainbow) e anche rare storie come quelli inglese (nelle paese nordici, ci sono praticamente nessun produzione Braziliana). Mi sembra che in Francia la produzione e MOLTO diversa.

I agree with you, it's quite some time that I am a "faithful" Picsou reader and IMO they make a very good selection. I like very much the authors they choose, and if one looks at  last issues indexes all stories are interesting, including some very old Scarpa's and for me all  recent Van Horn too.
Maybe there are not critical contibutions?? Maybe this is a critical point? What's your opinion?

PS if you go the "Zio Paperone" topic you will find a lot of criticism there too... even if it is an Italian publication!

Mi sembra che se dovessi leggere le storie con Paperino che abita a Donaldsville sulla costa atlantica francese e Zio Paperone avesse sulla facciata del Deposito il simbolo del Franco mi sentirei abbastanza preso in giro.

E sinceramente è un dato di fatto che i francesi siano nazionalisti, basti pensare alla polemica sulle nominations ad Angouleme perché c'erano troppi fumetti stranieri fra di essi...  :

Je vais traduire pour Gorthan (il me semble qu'il a écrit ailleurs qu'il ne parle pas français).
" A mon avis si je devais lire des histoires avec Donald habitant Donaldsville sur la cote atlantique française et que sur la façade du coffre de Picsou il y aurait le symbole du Franc, alors je me sentirais mené en bateau.
Franchement ce n'est pas une opinion que les français soient nationalistes; il suffit de penser à la polemique au sujet des "nominations" du festival d'Angouleme, où il se plaindraient qu'il y avait trop d'etrangers".
Désolée du français très "italien"!

Otherwise, I'm still the winner of this argument.

Mi dispiace, ma non so una parola di Francese, non mi interessa studiarlo e soprattutto non mi interessa essere il "vincitore" di alcuna discussione. Se è questo che ti preme, guarda, ti cedo volentieri la corona o quello che vuoi...

It's a very good publication, and it is due to the impulsion of it chief editor, Pascal Pierrey who is a great connoisseur of Disney comics, a bit like Lydia Canatella was (still is?) for ZP. They have published some Scarpa comics that where unpublished outside Italy, and almost never reprinted in Italy. They have published Barks gags or covers in chronological order, some of which had never been published in France, and are making a lot of articles about Barks and other artists. Occasionally, they also publish rarities from Walt Kelly or Bob Grant or even Gottfredson, but their best job was that they made Don Rosa and Barks well-known in a country where Franco-Belgium comics is everywhere (enfin).

Merci beaucoup, tu parles francais mieux que moi.

In effect, Donald Duck in french publication doesn't live on the Atlantic coast as you said. He lives in some unknown place/world. It happens that there was a F on Scrooge money bin, but there has almost never been any other reference to France. They just never explained or clarified where the ducks live nor made up a consistant world/history for them. The F sign is like in most other Euro countries except Italy. The Dutch have had e.g. the Dutch sign on Scrooge's money bin, and so on for many countries.

Also, in Federiccho Pedrocchi's early stories, you can spot that Donald's city looks a lot like Milan.

The French being nationalists? There are (old) people in France who say the Italians are thiefs. This is of the same level. From what I know, French hate anything that is nationalistic. Patriotism is a forbidden term in France unless you don't mind people thinking you are from the far far right. If you want to see nationalistic people, the US where people have national flag inside their house is a better example. That in France would be really ridiculous.

I don't say I am the king of this forum, but just the winner of this thread (wether you concede it or not).
