Gold Key is apparently gone.  But the Disney reprints may live on.
There is a company in Scottsdale, Arizona that has been reprinting
the Carl Barks comics (The Carl Barks Library - 10 volumes each of
three hard-bound books, each volume about $100).  The company is
Another Rainbow.

Now I notice there is another company from Scottsdale (Gladstone)
which has published two old Disney's: Uncle Scrooge goes to Disneyland
and Disneyland Birthday Party.  The back inside cover of these
shows a whole bunch of Disney comic covers with the Gladstone
logo and "Coming in 1986 From Gladstone at your favorite
newsstand or comic book shop".

I don't care much for most of the super-hero comics, but prefer to
try to get the old comic strips (like Mandrake, Steve Canyon,
Disney comics, Maggie and Jiggs, Dagwood, -- also the newer ones
like Cathy, Tank McNamera, Doonesbury, Dupie, and so on.
