So no Showcase this month. Let's hope they are just skipping a month (or two) because the series currently is two months behind the origianl schedule, and not that the series is canceled after just 6 issues.

Eisner award-winner Don Rosa launched his Carl Barks-inspired career in 1987 and drew two decades' worth of ripping Scrooge and Donald yarns!

Presented with brilliant color with a trove of Rosa's cover art and behind-the-scenes factoids, these Duckburg epics are back at a bargain price worthy of Scrooge himself!

Humphrey GOKART? Really? Oh God! (In German, he's Hubert Bogart. I've always loved that name.) That said, this story is one of my absolute favourites. Just sublime.

Is "Goofy's Monster" the Great Goofunga? If so, you are about to read one of Casty's best stories, too...

The credits seem to be messed up...

Humphrey Gokart=Umperio Bogarto?

[The KKM]

Yep.

In this month's IDW solicits page, Walt Disney Showcase is listed as issue #(whatever) of 6.

[squeakyboots]

Here's the current schedule for IDW's Disney lineup as best as I can figure out.

Uncle Scrooge: Issue #36 is scheduled for July 4th, #37 is scheduled for July 11th and #38 is scheduled for July 25th. #39 and #40 have not been updated yet.

Donald and Mickey: Issue #3 is scheduled for June 20th and #4 is scheduled for July 4th. No issues after #4 have been solicited yet.

Walt Disney Showcase: Issue #3 is scheduled for July 4th and #5 is scheduled for July 11th. #4 and #6 have not been updated yet. Right now, it looks like this series is ending after #6.

Walt Disney's Comics & Stories: Issue #742 is scheduled for June 27th and #743 is scheduled for July 18th. This is a six month gap in between issues 741 and 742 and those contain a two part story. Yikes.

DuckTales: Issue #9 is scheduled for June 13th and #10 is scheduled for July 11th. #11 has not been updated yet.

Tangled: Issue #2 is scheduled for June 13th and #3 is scheduled for June 27th. This series looks like it is ending after #3. Four month gap in between issues #1 and #2.

Here's hoping that things will get better, and we'll eventually get a somewhat consistent schedule for these books.
