Are y'all familiar with the Inducks? inducks.org/It's supposed to be the most complete database of Disney comics anywhere, but the user interface is a little unusual.

What I'm really interested in is the better international stuff that never was published in English in the first place. From what I've read there's a few true classics in foreign language only. And more that were in the Disney Adventures Magazine and haven't been reprinted in English since. I JUST found out that IDW is restarting all the Disney monthly titles in April, and that the primary focus will be on reprinting European classics that have never been seen stateside, including works by Castellan! Yeah, I have them on order... IIRC, Uncle Scrooge starts in April, and Donald in May.

Walt Disney's Comics and Stories was THE most widely read American Comic series ever, so back issues aren't too expensive.
It always amuses me that there was a Disney "Universe" where Bambi would hang out with Dumbo long before Marvel got into the act.

Truly a good representation of the properties that Disney has come to control with its "engulf and devour" business strategy. But I'm not sure what "Pretty Woman" has to do with the others, since it was a single movie and didn't even have a sequel. Is it representing the Touchstone Studios output?

Anybody besides Shaxper and me getting the IDW Disney comics? Now that they are well into their 2nd year i am enjoying all of these series very much. In my opinion i believe they are some of the very best values in comic books at the moment. Each series carries a wide variety of short and longer stories reprinting Disney stories that otherwise we would not be seeing. Personal favorites are the Uncle Scrooge and Walt Disney Comics and Stories. It is refreshing to read interesting fun stories which entertain with sparkling art and characters which remain in character and are drawn visually consistently and recognizably.
How about the Joe imprint doing the Disney Princesses and Darkwing Duck? Both of these are just splendid! Darkwing in particular is just plain exciting and silly fun that captures the spirit of the cartoon in comic book format. The Princesses is a cute gag comic strip style that is adorable and funny and great for younger girls and boys (and even this old man!) that would appreciate them.

If you want to talk about the new stuff (and I do!), we have two threads for that in the Modern Comics section as well: New Disney Comics from IDWAndrea "Casty" Castellan appreciation thread

Managed for finding some reasonably priced (under $10) used DVD's of Disney classic Mickey/Donald/Goofy cartoons via Amazon. Fun 60 minute collections of various Disney shorts Classic Cartoon Favorites starring Mickey Classic Cartoon Favorites starring Goofy Classic Cartoon Favorites starring Donald Classic Cartoon Favorites Extreme Adventure Fun Classic Cartoon Favorites Extreme Sports Fun
Found 2 DVD's new at Wal-Mart for $5 each: Walt Disney's Funny Factory #4 with Huey, Dewey and Louie Walt Disney's Funny Factory #3 with Goofy.
So nice for having some of the Disney cartoon's I remember watching on Wonderful World of Disney or during Holiday specials from Disney while growing up. Some good old classic silly funny laugh out loud goofiness. These along with all of the Disney IDW comics over the last year, along with several comics treasury editions collecting the more current Disney animated movies (Little Mermaid on up) and along with Sunday Newspaper comic collections of Donald and Mickey and then 1 more book for finishing the Don Rosa Library have provided me quite a Disney pleasure fix this year. Up next: I will be venturing forth into collecting the Carl Barks Library of which I believe there are 19 books. Spending towards my glory years reading in retirement! YAAAAAAAY

By now, DE Sinclair and others, you may know that Pretty Woman is on Broadway. prettywomanthemusical.com/Saw the movie once. Hated it then, would not p**s on the last remaining print if it were on fire. Most horrible part about that movie was the love it got from so many of the female high school students I was teaching at the time. Talk about twisted messages. Good old wholesome Disney.

Holy thread necromancy. I miss this discussion! Walt Disney's Comics and Stories was THE most widely read American Comic series ever, so back issues aren't too expensive. I've read a lot about this. Dell was ingenious in pioneering subscription incentives that would con kids into pre-ordering 12 issues of a book they didn't necessarily want, just to get a free gift. Still, there was a ton of quality to be found in every issue. They were delivering a quality product, if Disney comics were your thing (and they certainly are mine!) Oh wow are those fun. Pluto faced off against the evil queen from Snow White once. Everything was on the table when it came to guest appearances!

Speaking of universes, I like to think of Carl Barks as “the Jack Kirby of Disney,” in that he had all sorts of ideas that contributed towards the world building and have lasted to this day, at least for Donald Duck’s segment of the world anyway. Barks not only had the Duck family go on adventures outside of the neighborhood, but also tended to draw them in a large scale way that made them feel more special, as if the comics were more so movie-like graphic novels than just ordinary comics.
