STAFF PICKS :: WALT DISNEY DONALD DUCK DAILY NEWSPAPER COMICS HC VOL 01 :: SEPTEMBER 02, 2015
MATT’S PICK :: WALT DISNEY DONALD DUCK DAILY NEWSPAPER COMICS HC VOL 01: This is truly a glorious day for Donald Duck fans the world over! We FINALLY get to bask in the artistic glory of the finest duck artist who ever lived! And no, I am not talking about Carl Barks! Blasphemous, I’m sure, right? In my humble opinion, Donald (and his sadistic nephews) are best rendered by the great Al Taliferro. His ducks are more faithful to the animation model sheets than any other “duck artist’s” work. Furthermore, (I mention this often when praising Al’s version of the ducks) his duck drawings consistently have me laughing out loud at a mere glance of his character staging and attitude. He truly shines when he presents an exasperated or incredulous Donald meeting the reader’s gaze.
