About the series
From 1988 to 1990, Gladstone Publishing revived classic Disney comics magic with Walt Disney's Mickey and Donald, an 18-issue series that paired the studio's two most iconic characters in adventures both new and nostalgic. The series showcased the legendary Floyd Gottfredson's foundational Mickey strips alongside the energetic, modern cartooning of William Van Horn, who also wrote many of the stories, while Alberto Becattini and Bob Karp contributed scripts that kept the spirit of the funny pages alive. A key bridge between the classic newspaper strips and the direct-market comic boom, this series mattered because it reintroduced a generation to the clean, timeless humor of Disney's core cast.
