Summary
Suave yet short-tempered, Donald Duck was Walt Disney’s cartoon bad boy, a more complex foil to the ever-optimistic Mickey Mouse and a box-office draw from his earliest silver screen appearances.

Critics Review
A monument to the ‘Duck Man.’ This volume is also a piece of comic history. Restored, illustrated, and accompanied by essays from Disney historians, it shows why Barks is revered as the ‘Duck Man. * Rolling Stone *
Donald is a very outrageous fellow, with bad manners and a worse temper, and everyone is very fond of him, including me. * Walt Disney *
I think the reason Carl Barks’ stories have endured and have had such international appeal is primarily their strength as good stories. Yet on a deeper level, they display American characteristics that are readily recognizable to the reader: ingenuity, integrity, determination, a kind of benign avarice, boldness, a love of adventure, and a sense of humor. * George Lucas *
Donald is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make. * Carl Barks *
