Donald Duck
Lucky Numbers !
Donald regularly graced the cover of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories starting with its first issue.While Donald's cartoons enjoy vast popularity in the United States and around the world, his weekly and monthly comic booksenjoy their greatest popularity in many European countries, mostly in Norway and Finland, but many other countries are rightbehind - most notably Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden.
In 1942, Western Publishing began creating original comic-book stories about Donald and other Disney characters. Bob Karpworked on the earliest of these, a story called Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold. The new publisher meant new illustrators, inthis case, Carl Barks and Jack Hannah. Barks would later repeat the treasure-hunting theme in many more stories.Barks soon took over the major development of the comic-book version of the duck as both writer and illustrator. Under hispen, Donald developed more in the comcis, becoming more adventurous and less temperamental. Pete was the only other majorcharacter from the Mickey Mouse comic strip to feature in Barks' new Donald Duck universe.
Barks placed Donald in the city of Duckburg, which Barks populated with a host of supporting players, including GladstoneGander (1948), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Uncle Scrooge McDuck (1947), Magica de Spell (1961), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), TheBeagle Boys (1951), April, May and June (1953), Neighbor Jones (1944) and John D. Rockerduck (1961). Many of Taliaferro'scharacters made the move to Barks' world as well, including Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Barks placed Donald in both domestic andadventure scenarios, and Uncle Scrooge became one of his favorite characters to pair up with Donald. Scrooge's popularitygrew, and by 1952, the character had a comic book of his own. At this point, Barks concentrated his major efforts on theScrooge stories, and Donald's appearances became more focused on comedy or he was recast as Scrooge's reluctant helper,following his rich uncle around the globe.
