Donald Duck

Launched in 1944 by Western Publishing, Donald Duck is a foundational comic series that brought the beloved Disney character to the four-color page. Most closely associated with the work of writer-artists Carl Buettner and Roger Armstrong, the series established the warm, gag-driven adventures of Donald and his extended family in Duckburg. Though the run spans decades, its single-issue debut marks the start of a long tradition of humorous, all-ages storytelling that helped define the American comic book landscape.
