Summary: "After more than 80 years, the complete Silly Symphony newspaper strips are collected in English for the first time ever! The artwork for these rare strips has come straight from the Disney vaults. Each page has been meticulously colored using, as a guide, the original bound file copies that belonged to Walt Disney himself! This first of four volumes includes all the strips featuring Bucky Bug, the first Disney character to be originated in newspaper comics. The book also includes the very first Donald Duck newspaper strip -- an adaptation of The Wise Little Hen. Other classic adaptations are Birds of a Feather, Penguin Isle, The Boarding School Mystery, The Robber Kitten, and Cookieland. Plus, the "Mickey Mouse Movies" bonus toppers!"--provided by Amazon.com.

Contents / Notes

General Note:

"Disney Comics"--Cover.

"Introducing Bucky Bug and the first appearance of Donald Duck"--Cover.

"Publisher's note: These comic strips were created in an earlier time and may contain cartoon violence and occasional historically-dated content, such as gags about smoking, drinking, gunplay, and racial stereotypes. Needless to say, Bucky Bug and the other characters in these stories wouldn't mix it up with these elements today; we include them here with the understanding that they reflect a bygone era. Enjoy the show!"--Title page verso.

"A note on source material: The black-and-white artwork in this book was scanned from the Disney Licensed Publishing collection. The color reference material was photographed from original bound volumes at the Walt Disney Archives."--Title page verso.

"A note on coloring: Sharp-eyed readers may notice some minor color inconsistency in these pages, particularly in the early Bucky Bug strips. We have chosen to present an authentic reproduction of the original comics pages in order to preserve their historic appeal."--Title page verso.
