Stål-Kalle

Stål-Kalle ("Steel Donald") is a robot or mechanical double of Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) appearing in Swedish Disney comics, whose adventures involve the iconic Duckburg cast including Farbror Joakim (Scrooge McDuck), Långben (Goofy), and the nephews.

Born in the Bronze Age pages of a beloved Swedish Disney comics tradition, Stål-Kalle made their debut in 1978 courtesy of the talented duo Guido Martina and Massimo De Vita — a creative pairing with serious pedigree in European Disney comics. Appearing across Joakim (Farbror Joakim) and the perennially popular Kalle Ankas pocket, this character shares their adventures with some of the most iconic figures in the Disney comics universe: Kalle Anka, Farbror Joakim, Långben, and the nephews Knatte and Fnatte. With only seven catalog appearances across a decade-long window, Stål-Kalle is a genuine curiosity for the dedicated collector — a rare find nestled within the rich Scandinavian tradition of Disney comics publishing under Hemmets Journal.
