Gemstone's Disney Comics
 

Has anybody been reading or seen these lately - they've brought back the old Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and Comics And Stories books. I grew up reading these things and its nice to have them back (albeit a little expensive =\)

I was kind of curious as to whether anyone else is a fan of them or grew up reading the works of Carl Barks, Don Rosa, or Floyd Gottfredson as well?

I've collected the old Gladstone Comics which printed classic Carl Barks and Don Rosa works. I particularly enjoyed the comic variant of "DuckTales", which first saw print as "Uncle Scrooge".

I've found that Donald Duck has a significant role in the comics, while he was virtually written out of the DuckTales TV show from day 1.

Bwah? No, I had not heard this, but the news overjoys me. The old Disney comics were awesome, and I really regret not taking better care of the ones I used to have. They were great kids' comics that refrained from talking down to the reader.

The new run has been great so far. Really has a lot of the shades of the original 80's Gladstone run.

Plus Gemstone just got the liscence to start reprinting the classic Mickey Mouse newspaper strips which are some of the best Mickey stories ever made. :)
