| Donald Duck FC #300 |
(Walt Disney's) Donald Duck v1 / Four Color v2 #300, 1950 - After losing Daisy's heirloom brooch, Donald tracks the item to a traveling circus. Getting a job as a clown, he discovers the pin in the hands of a quick change artist.
Carl Barks opens the tale with a splendid panel of Donald and the boys fishing as the circus arrives (see interior page below). From there, the artwork gets even better as chase ensues inside the big top. Layouts and panels become more dynamic and unconventional (pages 10-14). Interestingly, all the supporting characters are humans rather than the usual personification of animals. This golden age story was later reprinted in
Donald Duck #261. This is 17 of 43
