The wild adventures of the first Disney star created just for comics- and Donald Duck's hilarious funny-page debut! 1932 saw the launch of Disney's second-ever original comic strip, the full-color weekly Silly Symphonies, and with it came the debut of Bucky Bug, a daring, rhyming, mischievous squirt whose escapades took him from brutal birds of prey to the terrifying trenches of the Great Flyburg War! With his brave lady friend June and bumpkin pal Bo, Bucky even travels to a mixed-up Mother Goose Land... where a not-so-merry Old King Cole has mayhem on his mind! Now in this latest stand-alone Disney reprint collection, readers can follow all of Bucky's adventures and the Symphonies Sunday sagas that followed, which alsoincludes Donald Duck's debut as the barnyard's spoilt brat in "The Wise Little Hen"... and further tales of golden age Silly Symphony cartoon stars: egotistical Max Hare, slow-but-sure Toby Tortoise, and that awful bandit Dirty Bill (who "never took a bath, and he never will!").Hardcover, 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 192 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $39.99.
