Walt Disney's Christmas Parade #1
This volume collects the first issue of Gemstone's 2003 holiday series, featuring classic Disney comic strips and stories with a Christmas theme. The collection brings together beloved characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Scrooge McDuck in seasonal adventures originally published in earlier decades.
In "Letter to Santa," Donald Duck faces a holiday dilemma when he realizes he forgot to send the nephews’ letter to Santa—just as Christmas Eve arrives and they reveal their wish for a steamshovel. With help from Uncle Scrooge, who’s less thrilled about being upstaged by Santa than he is about giving the gift, things take a turn when Scrooge buys his own steamshovel, leading to a chaotic showdown between the two in their machines. The issue, written and illustrated by the legendary Carl Barks with colors by Susan Daigle-Leach and lettering by Barks himself, features a cover by Walt Kelly and Carl Buettner, capturing the festive spirit of a 2003 Gemstone release.
In "Letter to Santa," Donald Duck scrambles to save Christmas Eve after realizing he never mailed Huey, Dewey, and Louie’s letter to Santa—especially when he learns they’re asking for a steamshovel. With Uncle Scrooge’s reluctant help, Donald tracks down the gift, only to spark a rivalry when Scrooge, jealous of Santa’s spotlight, buys his own steamshovel and challenges Donald to a showdown. As the day winds down, the two end up in a wrecked mechanical battle, forcing Donald to don a Santa suit to deliver the truth.
