Description
The 1930s were the heyday of Disney's second-ever newspaper comics feature: the full-color weekly Silly Symphonies! And with it came Donald Duck's first starring roles... from his debut as a barnyard brat to his battles with Mickey's naughty nephews--and the unforgettable debut of Donald's own riotous relatives, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, first created for this strip by artist Al Taliaferro!

Also included in this two-volume set: Zeke the Big Bad Wolf, always in pursuit of the Three Little Pigs--and Bucky Bug, the daring, mischievous beetle whose escapades took him from brutal birds of prey to the trenches of the Great Flyburg War! Plus more golden-age Silly Symphony cartoon stars: feisty Max Hare, slow-but-sure Toby Tortoise, that awful bandit Dirty Bill (who "never took a bath, and he never will!")... and timid Elmer Elephant, one of his adventures plotted by comics maestros Carl Barks and Walt Kelly!

Artist: Taliaferro, Al
Al Taliaferro began working as a comic strip penciler in 1934. His early comics work involved Bucky Bug and other Silly Symphony Sunday characters. In 1938, he started the first Donald Duck newspaper strip. Within that strip, he created many fan-favorite duck characters including Grandma Duck and Donald's infamous nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. "Disney Legend" Jack Hannah was one of the first creators to put pen to paper for Disney Comics in the late 1930's. After many successful collaborations with other legendary Disney creators, Hannah went on to direct more than 100 animated Disney cartoon films and shorts.
