Following \u003cspan\u003eWalt Disney’s Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History\u003c\/span\u003e by TASCHEN, we witness the career of Mickey’s only rival for the throne as Disney’s most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film \u003cspan\u003eThe Wise Little Hen\u003c\/span\u003e on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald’s\u003cspan\u003e cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003cspan\u003eunprecedented access to Disney’s vast historical archives and collections\u003c\/span\u003e as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald’s life story with \u003cspan\u003erare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan\u003ecomic drawings\u003c\/span\u003e as well as \u003cspan\u003ehistorical photographs\u003c\/span\u003e. 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 \u003cspan\u003eCarl Barks\u003c\/span\u003e, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the history of comics, Donald Duck is the \u003cspan\u003emost frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre\u003c\/span\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs 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 what has endeared him to readers around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59644012724510,"sku":"DDULTIH","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/9783754404812.jpg?v=1788546417","url":"https:\/\/budsartbooks.com\/products\/donald-duck-the-ultimate-history-2","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
