Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Donald's Happiest Adventures

by Lewis Trondheim, Nicolas Kéramidas, David Gerstein (Translator)

Overview

Acclaimed French cartoonists Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Kéramidas present a mind-bending Duckburg graphic novel!

When Donald grouses that money will never buy Uncle Scrooge happiness, Scrooge snaps — and sets Donald on a treasure hunt for happiness itself. A terrible task for an unlucky Duck… or is it? With help from Professor Ludwig Von Drake, deep in the cranky kingdom of Brutopia — the impossible may be possible!

Presented as a "lost" 1960s Disney story — complete with retro-style color — Donald's Happiest Adventures bristles with wit in the Carl Barks tradition… and bustles with the whole Disney comics cast, including friends and rivals Gladstone Gander, Mickey Mouse, and Pegleg Pete!

Editorial Reviews

"Donald’s journey from Duckburg to parts unknown is gorgeously rendered. Every page is a visual smorgasbord. Each detail is dynamite."
