Robot Man Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks – I guess this was overlooked. "Christmas for Shacktown" and "Trick or Treat" are surely among the mandatory inclusions. "Only a poor old man" as well. And of course "Christmas on bear mountain" and "Back to the Klondike". Besides "The Terror of the Beagle Boys", do you have other stories to suggest that represented first appearances worth of note? First apperance from syndicated strips as well, indicating the date. And then Mickey Mouse and the other characters… Aside from Four Color #16 (which in the end is a reprint). Thanks much! How about the first appearance of Huey, Dewey and Louie? (and a great Golf cover as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't overlook the Barks' Duck lead off tales in Christmas Parade 1 and 2 and Vacation Parade 1. Vacation Parade 1 may in fact be a better tale than all of the above other than Only a Poor Old Man!

Here's a couple: Gyro Gearloose in WDC&S 140 (and his lightbulb helper in Uncle Scrooge 15) Gladstone Gander in WDC&S 88 You can find all of the Disney first appearences at the Inducks site! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 @AJD: Thanks much! @Robot: Thanks, but I am trying to avoid the more expensive early WDC&S, and also I believe the first apperance happened in syndicated strips (as with Donald in "The wise little hen") so the WDC&S is de facto a reprint, albeit the first edition in comic book form. As an example: "The wise little hen" appeared first in newspapers, then in Italy it appeared in the very rare and scarce "Topolino supplemento" in 1935, and then in comic book format. I have this last one version of Donald's first apperance, which – in fact – is a second italian edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Don't overlook the Barks' Duck lead off tales in Christmas Parade 1 and 2 and Vacation Parade 1. Vacation Parade 1 may in fact be a better tale than all of the above other than Only a Poor Old Man! Right – often there are tales acknowledged as classics because of their quality but also their popularity, but there are less known stories which could be classics in their own merit. "Trick or treat", however, is a milestone as it’s the first apperance of Hazel, and our school of authors widely used Hazel in classic stories as opposed to Goofy (I talked about this previously).

vaillant Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks guys, keep the suggestion coming! I’d love to get a #26 sooner or later… I would also like to show you more about the italian Hazel stories, as I believe are all unpublished in USA. Here’s some splash pages… I believe I already showed some of them. Unfortunately there is little on the web in terms of scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 They are very different… Each one stands on its own merits, IMO. Keep the suggestions coming: more Mickey Mouse, more comic book significant stories in general, not just ducks… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These stories are incredibly cool and fun. Goofy constantly rationalizes what Hazel does because he refuses to believe in magic and in witches.
