Donald Duck Digests #1-5
Shortly after Gladstone's launching of it's original 4 titles in 1986, it was decided to publish an additional four titles - only in digest form: Walt Disney's Comics Digest, Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge Digest, Walt Disney's Donald Duck Digest, and Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Digest. For slightly more than the cost of a comic book, these pocket-sized editions contained 3 times the comic pages, were kid-sized, and lasted longer because of the stiff covers. The kids had no problem with the small printing...but enough older readers did.....such that it was not economically feasible to continue their publication. After 5-7 issues of each title, the digest series came to an end. Now, for the first time, these 'pocket-full-of-fun' digests are being offered on this website. Get them while they last!!
