Donald Duck: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics is a series of hardcover books collecting the complete run of the Disney Donald Duck comic strip, a daily newspaper comic strip drawn by the American comic artist Al Taliaferro. The comic strip debuted on February 7, 1938, and within eight weeks became the fastest growing syndicated comic strip worldwide. The publisher behind the project is IDW Publishing and their imprint, The Library of American Comics. The first book of the series was released on September 2, 2015.[1][2]

Format

The books come in a hardcover format, which includes a sewn binding, linen bookmark and dust jacket. The landscape orientation of the books measures 11 in × 8.5 in (approximately 279 mm × 216 mm), which allows each comic strip to be reproduced as close to the original published size as possible. Each page accommodates three daily strips.

Only the supplementary material appears in full colour since the daily comic strips were first published in black-and-white in the newspapers. The strips are scanned from the original syndicate proofs of the Disney archives.[3] It's printed on high quality acid-free paper stock.[4] Each volume of the series has about 280 pages and contains close to 750 daily strips (the equivalent to a 2.5-year original newspaper run). Roughly ten pages of supplemental material are included, such as promotional art, portraits of the creators, and introductory essays by animation historian David Gerstein.[5][6][7]

The volumes of the series are sold separately[8] and have been released at a rate of one or two volumes per year.[9] The suggested retail price set by the publisher is $39.99 (US Dollars).
