Christmas in Disneyland #1 - Carl Barks art + 1st issue

Christmas in Disneyland #1

(Walt Disney's) Christmas in Disneyland (Dell Giant) v1 #1, 1957 - Accompanying Santa Claus on his Christmas eve journey, a little boy and girl listen intently to his holiday tales. His stories feature a variety of Walt Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Chip N' Dale, L'il Bad Wolf and Snow White. This first issue's highlight, however, features Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and his nephews on a voyage to the South Seas. Carl Barks uses this unexpected setting to tell one of his best holiday tales. From his depiction of a volcanic pit (page 10) to the scene of an exploding island (page 16), Barks' visuals are masterful. This story was later reprinted in Mickey and Donald #17, Christmas Parade v3 #11191 and Walt Disney Comics Digest #38. This issue also includes artwork by Al Hubbard. This is 1 of 1 Christmas in Disneyland issues by Barks. /// key 1st issue
