Kalle Anka [julbok]

A long-running Swedish annual, Kalle Anka [julbok] collected Donald Duck newspaper strips into a sturdy hardcover format from 1998 through 2017. Published by Bokförlaget Semic and later Egmont, these twenty volumes primarily featured the classic, warm-hearted work of writer Bob Karp and artist Al Taliaferro. For Swedish readers, the series became a reliable holiday tradition, preserving the gentle, gag-a-day charm of mid-century Duckburg in a perennial gift-book.
