Donald Duck: The Complete Sunday Comics is a series of hardcover books collecting the complete run of Donald Duck Sunday newspaper comic strips drawn by the american comic artist Al Taliaferro, starting off with the first of Donald Duck's "own" Sunday strip page from the 10th of December in 1939, after he had first been introduced in the successfull Silly Symphonies Sunday strip feature as well as in his own daily newspaper strip since 1938.[1] The publisher behind the project is IDW Publishing and their imprint (subdivision), The Library of American Comics. The first book of the series was released in March, 2016.

Format

The books are of the hardcover type have a sewn binding and sewn linen bookmark and come with a dust jacket. The books measure 12 inches × 8.5 inches, approximatley 305 mm × 216 mm, and are oriented in a landscape view to be able to fit each sunday page in such a large scale and so close to the size they originally were published in as possible, given the set surface area. Each page accommodate one Sunday strip page.

The print is in full color throughout the book, the Sunday strips were published in full color originally and for these archival volumes the coloring has been recolored and remastered by Digikore Studios for the best possible reproduction.[2] Each volume of the series have about 170 pages and contain around 160 full color sunday strips(the equivalent to a little more then three years of an original Sunday newspaper run) as for supplementary material there are introductions included[3] just like in the Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics from the same publisher.

Volumes of the series are sold seperatly and have a suggested retail price set by the publisher at $49.99, ten dollar more expensive each compared to a volume of Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics, this due to the restoration and recoloring of the Sunday strips according to the publisher, something that was not needed for the black-and-white daily strips. The release schedule for the series has to this date been inconcistent, two volumes during 2016, but none during 2017.[4]
