Walt Disney's Disneyland Birthday Comics Digest

Gladstone Publishing launched this one-shot digest in 1985 to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Disneyland, pairing new framing material with a classic Carl Barks story from the early 1950s. Barks, the legendary Duck artist and writer, provides the centerpiece tale, making this a compact but significant tribute to both the park and the creator who defined Disney comics for generations. It stands as a nostalgic, single-issue salute from the early Gladstone era, bridging the past and present of Disney’s comic-book legacy.
