As you leaf through the pages, you begin to understand that the Donald Duck comics have exactly that in a very relaxed way: diversity and inclusiveness... Donald's adventures are neatly contextualized, periodized and categorized in the monumental volume. Walt Disney's Donald Duck thus shows... avant-garde popular culture.”
“TASCHEN has published a detailed Donald chronicle with some previously unpublished images. It not only pays tribute to the feathered character with the many all-too-human weaknesses, but also to the illustrators who helped him in comic books and animated films to achieve his still ongoing career.”
“The Donald Duck book is here, the result of years of work by editor Daniel Kothenschulte... A quality of reconstruction and reproduction that has never been seen before. What could be seen was considered known. What did make it into the book is not. The most spectacular thing is what Kothenschulte brings to light in terms of preliminary sketches for Donald Duck films... This book will enrich even the knowledge of intense Duck fans. Pop art avant la lettre. In addition, there are knowledgeable texts (each the length of a veritable monograph).”
“TASCHEN began its publishing career almost 45 years ago with the clumsy duckling... The book is a treasure trove of drawings, sketches, photos and stories.”
“Donald is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.”
