Donald Duck. The Ultimate History

English

By (author): David Gerstein J. B. Kaufman

Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of Donald Duck the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever.

Revisit Donalds lifes work from nine decades in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Following TASCHENs Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History, we witness the career of Mickeys only rival for the throne as Disneys most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donalds more than 170 cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances. As a special treat to his fans, they also dive deep into the vaults to tell the story of his unfinished film projects.

With unprecedented access to Disneys vast historical archives and collections as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donalds life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the Duck Man himself, master storyteller Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.

In the history of comics, Donald Duck is the most frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre, and has appeared on screen more often than any other Disney character. Since the 1950s, Duckburg has expanded into a truly global village, with American artists being joined by a new generation of international colleagues.

As Carl Barks once said of Donald: He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make. He may often be unlucky, but this is precisely why everybody can relate to the worlds most famous and best loved Duck, fittingly celebrated with this monumental tribute.
