Orchestrating Magic in Narnia ... All Over
Again
Telmarines, talking mice, and Minotaurs ... it's a wrap for the
second installation in C.S. Lewis' Narnia series, according to
director/producer/co-writer Andrew Adamson. "We're in the U.K.
tying up the last month of post-production... polishing the sound,
music, and special effects. I'm extremely happy with what we've
created. It's like a painful birthing process which you forget soon
afterwards." Considering "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"
took four and a half years to produce, it must have seemed like the
two years working on "Prince Caspian" whizzed by at breakneck
speed.
Speaking of his edgier, epic interpretation, Andrew approached
this film as if it were the true story of Caspian, the Telmarine's
naïve, idealistic prince who, despite discovering his dark
side, emerges as a true king because of his journey. "For any

ASK DAVE |

YOUR QUESTION
Dave - When I was a young boy in the 1950s, Disney comic books
were among my favorites. There was a particular one (my all-time
favorite) in which Mickey Mouse was a detective that featured, if I
recall correctly, clues with a round black spot on them. What can
you tell me about this? Story name? Year published? Anything
else?
- Bob, 59, Clermont, FL |

DAVE'S ANSWER
"Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot" was actually the first
Mickey Mouse comic book, published in 1941. It is very rare -- a
recent price guide listed it at $13,000 in very fine condition.
There was later, in the 1960s, a series called "The New Adventures
of the Phantom Blot." |
