(W/A/CA) Ted Osborne 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!
