O książce Walt Disney's Donald Duck. The Ultimate History

Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of Donald Duck the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever.

Revisit Donald's life's work from nine decades in this vibrantly illustrated publication on the Disney universe. Following Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History by TASCHEN, we witness the career of Mickey's only rival for the throne as Disney's most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald's cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances.

With unprecedented access to Disney's vast historical archives and collections as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald's life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the "Duck Man" himself, master storyteller Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.

In the history of comics, Donald Duck is the most frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre, and has appeared on screen more often than any other Disney character. Since the 1950s, Duckburg has expanded into a truly global village, with American artists being joined by a new generation of international colleagues.

As Carl Barks once said of Donald: "He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make." He may often be unlucky, but this is precisely why everybody can relate to the world's most famous and best-loved Duck.
