PKNA issue 11 - Angus Tales part 1 / Announcement

Alright, here's the update. It's going to be a two-parter this week. Scroll down for Angus Tales. But first, an announcement of sorts.

As some of you have noticed, a lot of links on this site have been dead for a while. We've lost the first few pages of a lot of issues, and if you try to access them, you just get a dead end.

Unfortunately, it's not a problem we can easily fix, as the posts in question have been removed by BlogSpot, at the request of Disney. It's a fairly automated procedure, so I don't think we'll have lawyers breathing down our necks anytime soon, but just to be on the safe side, we are NOT going to reupload the pages in question. (BlogSpot made it clear to me, in a polite yet firm automated email, that if I simply reupload everything, they might have to shut down my account.)

Obviously, this was always a risk with what we're doing, and obviously the people at Disney are entirely within their rights. We can just hope that the fact they care, means that they might be getting around to PKNA themselves at some point.

So, what does this mean for us in the future? Well, we were always intending to take a step back from PKNA after issue #11, so it doesn't change THAT much. Still, we might slow down a little in the future - especially the very near future, as we try to figure out what to do next.

I've thought about setting up a mailing list, just in case this site suddenly gets shut down. (Hey, you never know.) We might not know what we're going to do YET, but it'd be a shame if we couldn't reach you guys when we figure it out. If you'd like to be added to that kind of list, just write to birch_PKNA@yahoo.com and write 'Mailing list' in the headline.

Any questions, just ask me in the comments. We're still figuring out how to deal with this situation, so we'll see what happens.

(But, hey, maybe this will finally get us to focus on translating the special features for the first few issues. Som maybe SOME good will come out of it.)

And now: ANGUS TALES!

(Special thanks to Murray who did the translating on this one.)

Let Disney know that you want to see an official translation of Paperinik New Adventures – here’s how!


Disney has already shown an interest in the characters – Superduck comics are now available in the US, the UK, and Italy through Disney Digicomics! A growing archive of never-before-translated comics are now available. Here’s a brief explanation.

  2. Hi guys. Just found your site while I was searching for missing issues of PKNA in my collection.
    Would it be possible to repost the megaupload links for Issue 0 and 9? (or could you please send them to me by mail (tat_a@web.de, blogspot won't let me fill in the address field)). This would be great.
    (just wrote you a mail regarding the mailing list to stay informed)
    Keep up the good work!

  3. Don't tell Disney, but the download links are actually at the END of each update issue - so they're still there. Check it out:
