Description
In 1932 Disney kicked off their second-ever original comic strip, the full-color weekly Silly Symphonies, and with it came the debut of Bucky Bug, a daring, rhyming, mischievous squirt whose escapades took him from brutal birds of prey to the terrifying trenches of the Great Flyburg War! Also here: Donald Duck’s debut in The Wise Little Hen and The Robber Kitten, Cookieland (a spoof on Alice in Wonderland), Penguin Isle, and Mickey Mouse movies, plus a bonus feature each week with a pinwheel adventure with the early Mickey. Beautiful reproduction, nice bright colors. Also here are Max Hare, Toby Tortoise, and that awful bandit Dirty Bill (who “never took a bath, and he never will!”). With his brave lady friend June and bumpkin pal Bo, Bucky even travels to a mixed-up Mother Goose Land… where a not-so-merry Old King Cole has mayhem on his mind! In this latest stand alone Disney reprint collection, readers can follow all of Bucky’s adventures and the Symphonies Sunday sagas that followed. The lengthy introduction by J.B. Kaufman nicely puts these strips in context, as they were supplementing the original Disney cartoons coming out in the theaters. Original theatrical posters and press kit pages are included.
