Pop links: Donald Duck is 75! Cover Browser is cool! The Specials reunion rolls on!
It's the 75th anniversary of Donald Duck!
Donald Duck made his debut on June 9th, 1934, in the animated short The Wise Little Hen, in which Donald and his friend Peter Pig try to avoid work by feigning stomach aches. Since then Donald has appeared in over 150 cartoons, 21 video games, several feature films and most importantly thousands of comic book stories.
Indeed, Donald Duck comics--especially those written and drawn by the brilliant Carl Barks--are something truly special. But, unfortunately, Gemstone Comics is no longer publishing them! I believe Boom Studios now has the license to do so. I hope they'll use it! And, speaking of which, is there any hope of this series of Barks reprints ever seeing the light of day in the U.S.?

Pop links: Del Torro on the Hobbit film; Boom Studio's new Toy Story comic
Director Guillermo del Toro updates the BBC on his progress filming Tokien's "The Hobbit."
The intensity of the scenes of the Hobbit will have the intensity they had in the book when I was a kid reading them.
The spiders of Mirkwood are a pretty harrowing experience and facing the great goblin in the caves is quite a thrilling moment. The Battle of the Five Armies, the first encounter with Gollum - there are scary moments in the book.
But they are already there. We are not inventing or trying to do horror for horror's sake we are trying to imbue those moments of intensity in the book into the movie.
