| I read a lot of Disney comics when I was 12-15. I don't know in what format people read them overseas but in France I was subscribed to two things : "Le journal de Mickey" (Mickey's newspaper) Which was a weekly 30-35 pages book with two Disney comics and some articles. "Mickey Parade Géant" (don't know a good translation sorry) which was a monthly ~200 pages pocket-sized Book aimed more at 15+ children, it had the best stories imo with reccuring ones. Both of these contained a lot of translated comics from Italy, Spain, etc... But Mickey Parade Géant always had a page before a story which indicated where it was from and a couple of facts about it's authors, sometimes even small interviews ! These stories remind me of all the multiverse stuff going on in movies nowadays, because each time it was the same characters (Mickey, Donald, Goofy...) With (often) the same personalities but in different roles and times ! I remember one where they were all superheroes (Ultra heroes I think), another where Mickey was a reporter in a big city, or one where he was a doctor ( and a bit unfriendly) in a parody of Dr House. I should re-read them all in the correct order someday ! |
My wife is surprised by the fascination with donald and scrooge comics Europeans have.
