MICKEY & DONALD:
For Whom the Doorbell Tolls!

Ernest Hemingway: Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner, war hero, famed novelist, journalist, adventurer — and inspiration to Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and Goofy! The year: 1999. The place: Italy. Fan-favorite Venetian Disney cartoonist Giorgio Cavazzano dared a creative team to take its cues from Ernest Hemingway for a striking, cinematic, and occasionally silly new series of Duckburg tales! In this original Disney collection, Hemingway’s “The Battler” and “The Killers” inspire new Mickey and Peg Leg Pete parodies while our title adventure, with Mickey meeting “Ernest” in person! From Donald’s bid for knighthood as “The Duck Who Would Be King” to Peg Leg Pete’s invasion of a diner in “Bad Boys” and Uncle Scrooge’s shark-wrangling in “The Older Man and the Sea,” these epics range from direct pastiches to shorts loosely based on “Papa” Hemingway’s work — each paired with its authors’ “liner notes,” telling the fascinating tale of how and why they were inspired.

UNCLE SCROOGE & DONALD DUCK:
Bear Mountain Tales!

In this special collection of Scrooge McDuck’s amazing comics adventures, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of the iconic character created by Carl Barks, Scrooge and Donald return to the site of their first meeting!

In 1947, Carl Barks's comics story "Christmas on Bear Mountain" didn't just introduce the Scrooge McDuck character — it took Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie to Scrooge's Bear Mountain cabin, where beastly bruins made for holiday havoc! In keeping with that memorable debut, Bear Mountain has been the site of countless Duckburg sagas since. This special edition collects Daniel Branca's "Return to Bear Mountain," in which Scrooge engages in a gambit with nasty gnomes; Don Rosa's "The Richest Duck in the World," which features Donald's first visit to the fabled Money Bin; and there's a crash course with Launchpad McQuack in "New Year's Daze." An unforgettable batch of birthday stories and winter adventures is here!

THE DISNEY AFTERNOON COLLECTION Vol.1:
Darkwing Duck: Just Us Justice Ducks!

Here's where the fun begins: awesome 1980s and 1990s comics based on the classic Disney Afternoon TV cartoons! From the pages of Disney Adventures and its sister magazines come much-requested feature-length thrillers! In "Just Us Justice Ducks," Darkwing Duck and DuckTales' Gizmoduck are called to action when the Fearsome Five — Negaduck, Megavolt, Liquidator, Bushroot, and Quackerjack — successfully take over St. Canard! Then Goofy and Max take a trip on the open road… far from Max's beloved Roxanne, but into the clutches of a Bigfoot in the original comics adaptation of A Goofy Movie! Then in "The Legend of the Chaos God," an evil spirit named Solego is trapped in a priceless gem… and wreaks havoc on Cape Suzette, Duckburg, and St. Canard. It's up to the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Scrooge McDuck, Darkwing, and the TaleSpin crew to stop him! "…Everybody's busy, bringing you a Disney Afternoon!"
