historic! Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse beginAny comic historian can hardly overlook the importance of Disney characters to early comics and here is the key issue to own for the Disney comic collector. From the beautiful Donald Duck cover to the inimitable strips inside, this one is a classic winner by any estimation. This features early Donald Duck strips by Al Taliaferro and Godfreson's Mickey Mouse strip.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While Action 1 and Detective 27 may have launched a thousand hero titles, it was WDCS that showed the potential of the "funny" in funny books. It also raised the bar every month, forcing competitors to create better and better titles to keep up, as, true to the Disney tradition, WDCS consistently boasted top-rank art, tightly plotted stories, and characters that would go on to have lives of their own independent of the cartoon features the book was originally devised to promote. This historic first issue usually does not turn up in this kind of condition, and Disney collectors and Golden Age comics fans alike will surely salivate over this brilliant copy.
