They have also added information about the size, and it looks like the books will be in about the same size as the IDW trade paperbacks and smaller than regular comic books. I'm still looking forward to these, but I was hoping for a larger print size.
That is very annoying. The main reason I don't buy IDW Disney trades is their smaller-than-regular-comic-book size. Most of their non-Disney trades are regular sized. I suppose I will buy these since there's no alternative, but I wish they would stop doing this. (BTW can someone please confirm that IDW's DuckTales trades are also smaller than regular size?)
The DuckTales trades are the same smaller size as their other Disney trades. The Duck Avenger trades are full comic book sized which is the only exception that I'm aware of. I'm assuming they do this to keep costs down as these are a few dollars cheaper than the trades they've released of other comics.
Honestly wouldn't mind it so much if we were still getting the hardcover versions. And I mean I have a few of these trades. They're fine, there's nothing really wrong with them, the text is still large enough to read, print quality and everything is good. I just don't know.
The DuckTales paperbacks are in that smaller size, yes. The text in the DuckTales comics is already too small. In the paperbacks, shrinking them down really doesn’t help this.
I have and know the first eleven of Scrooge's Millions. The problem with them is not so much the stories per se but that they get rather repetitive after a while. I think Vitaliano has done better. But it's still Fausto Vitaliano - his snarky dialogues between Donald and Scrooge are always fun. It's almost impossible to beat his humour - except if your name is Tito Faraci
Or Faccini.
I'm not a big fan of the man, but he does come up with a good idea once or twice. But as I said, he's not one of my favourites...
Care to enlighten me? I don't know that one, "infamous" though it may apparently be. Though I do know of a Walt Disney's Adventures of Uncle Scrooge McDuck in Color book, by INDUCKS.
Put the title in INDUCKS and you'll find them: two issues, regular-sized comics, 1998. It's the length of the title that's infamous.
I'd always hoped they'd create a regular, ongoing Donald and Scrooge title, because I had the perfect name in mind for its letter column ... "Relatively Speaking"! Because they're relatives, get it?
It just struck me how outdated letter columns are. Remember the old days before the internet, when the only way you could publicly share your thoughts on a story or issue or creator was to write a letter, put stamps on it and shove it in the mailbox, wait three months and hope that yours would be one of a handful chosen to be printed? Mind-boggling. Truly the dark ages. Surprising, BOOM! actually had letter columns in its Disney books.
In the July-for-September catalog we also got two old trades relisted for distribution:
SS JUL180895 DONALD & MICKEY DISNEY COMICS/STORIES 75TH ANNV COLL TP (DEC150504) 08/22/18 SRP: $12.99 = $ SS JUL180896 DONALD & MICKEY MAGIC KINGDOM COLLECTION TP (OCT160527) 08/15/18 SRP: $12.99 = $
I've seen these now and then and thought it was old stock being redistributed. But then I saw this post making some confusion on the facebook group "The Disney Comics Fan Group". According to the comments it sounds like there's a new printing of the Anniversary collection with the text "July 2018" inside. Can anyone confirm that the trades actually got a new printing that can be distinguished from the original one?

Any second printings of trade releases should be labeled as such on the bottom of the credits page.
While a second printing certainly is possible, I want to say I think the Diamond catalog would mention it if it was...? The comments on that Facebook post also seem to be from before the date this rerelease was listed for though it could have always came out earlier than it was scheduled to. I would ask the person who made that post if they could share an image of the page above from their copy to verify if its a second printing or not.
