The gift of continuity
My interest in the Ducks has recently been renewed, after growing up on Duck Tales cartoons and such. I had read a couple of Gladstone comics as a youth and somehow the experience has stuck with me. Perhaps I am turning to these comics now that the Marvel and DC ...

Walt Disney Treasures - Disney Comics: 75 Years of Innovation

Floyd Gottfredson, Ted Osborne, ...

Gemstone Publishing, 2006

Gemstone and Gladstone
Comics were made to sell for 5 or 10 cents, but the modern comic, even full of distracting ads, runs two or three dollars. Gladstone/ Another Rainbow Publishing came up with a great idea. In the '90s they presented Carl Barks' duck comics in graphic novel format, which ...

Donald Duck Adventures, Barks/Rosa Collection, Vol. 2: Donald Duck's Atom Bomb/The Duck Who Fell to Earth

Carl Barks, Don Rosa, ...
