Walt Disney Treasures
Short stories and long adventures marking milestones in Disney Comics history. With 75 years and probably thousands of stories to choose from, it couldn't have been easy to select the stories that made it into these volumes. The folks at Gemstone did an admirable job with a wonderful sampling of rarely reprinted comics from the US and Disney's foreign publishers -- some being reprinted in English for the first time. Most of the legendary Disney comic creators are represented here, from Floyd Gottfredson to William Van Horn to Don Rosa to the immortal Carl Barks. Gemstone has replicated the DVD Treasures format, from the cover (including nice art by Don Rosa) to essays by David Gerstein (taking the Leonard Maltin role for the book). A fine sampling, one that any Disney comic fan will enjoy.
