Sergio & Mark News

KOMIX is a Disney comic magazine published in Greece.  In theory, it's supposed to focus on "classic" Disney comics and their creators, featuring the works of Carl Barks and his most faithful successors, as well as articles about such folks.  That all makes wonderful sense.  What doesn't is why they have recently purchased the rights to reprint Space Circus, a four-issue mini-series that Sergio Aragonés and I did last year for Dark Horse.  The editors of Komix are attempting to make some sort of "inspired by Barks" connection, I suppose, and the first issue that did this (that's the second, pictured above) had a long article about me which I can't read but which I gather focused on my days writing Disney comics.  It still doesn't seem right to me and seems very, very wrong to some Disney/Barks fans who are understandably irate.  Sergio and I would like them to know we're as puzzled as any of them.
