Donald Duck and Friends #349

Donald Duck goes full secret agent in this 2009 Boom! Kids entry, with the cover by Magic Eye Studio showing a sweating, wide-eyed Donald dangling from wires through a ceiling hatch — dressed in spy black — while a web of red laser beams crisscrosses the room below and a mysterious device sits on a pedestal just out of reach. It's a pitch-perfect spy-caper setup that captures Donald's endearing talent for finding himself in exactly the wrong situation at exactly the wrong moment. With stories from a talented international creative team including Fausto Vitaliano, Marco Bosco, and artists Vitale Mangiatordi and Marco Mazzarello, this issue delivers the kind of charming, clever fun that has kept Donald Duck comics a joy for readers of all ages.
