{"product_id":"walt-disneys-donald-duck-9783754404829","title":"Walt Disneys Donald Duck: Die ultimative Chronik. 45th Ed.","description":"Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of  Donald Duck the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals  his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever.   Revisit Donald’s life’s work from nine decades in this vibrantly illustrated publication on the Disney universe. Following Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History  by TASCHEN, we witness the career of Mickey’s only rival for the throne  as Disney’s most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony  short film The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald’s cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances. With unprecedented access to Disney’s vast historical archives and collections as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald’s life story with rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and comic drawings as well as historical photographs.  We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and  comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the “Duck  Man” himself, master storyteller Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings.   In the history of comics, Donald Duck is the most frequently printed figure outside the superhero genre,  and has appeared on screen more often than any other Disney character.  Since the 1950s, Duckburg has expanded into a truly global village, with  American artists being joined by a new generation of international  colleagues.   As Carl Barks once said of Donald: “He is everything,  he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.” He may  often be unlucky, but this is precisely what has endeared him to readers around the world. Copyright © 2026 Disney Enterprises, Inc.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 July 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taschen GmbH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e German\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783754404829\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Gerstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":67802812547322,"sku":"9783754404829","price":22.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9783754404829.jpg?v=1792461938","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/walt-disneys-donald-duck-9783754404829","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
