December 21, 2021 - Los Angeles, CA - Join BOOM! as we continue to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories in the pages of DONALD DUCK #363, featuring the unrivaled talents of Carl Barks, Geoffrey Blum, Daan Jippes, and Carlos Mota! Classic Donald tales abound in this oversized 40-page issue filled with feathered hijinks no Donald fan will want to miss! Shipping with two covers to please casual and die-hard fans alike, DONALD DUCK #363 features a never-before-seen cover by the legendary Don Rosa and a 1-in-10 cover by Carl Barks!
“Fans of Donald demanded we bring back these classic stories and we heard them loud and clear,” said BOOM! Studios Marketing Director Chip Mosher. “So, duck fans, prepare to read some of the best Donald stories by Carl Barks, Daan Jippes, and more beginning with DONALD DUCK #363. I’ve said it before, but I will say it again, ‘Classics are definitely back at BOOM!’”
Inside the covers of DONALD DUCK #363 you will find presented for the first time in the U.S. the much-requested 1997 Carl Barks story — recently redrawn by Jippes in the Barks style — titled “Somewhere Beyond Nowhere.” If that doesn’t whet your appetite, feast on the Carl Barks classic “Mystery of the Loch” as it’s reprinted for the first time in English in 16 years! And if that’s not enough, enjoy the Geoffrey Blum/Carlos Mota fan-favorite “Saga of Captain Duckburg” — that may even feature Carl Barks himself!
In November, BOOM! Studios announced “Classics Are Back at BOOM!” beginning this January. Celebrating the 70th anniversary of Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, January sees the release of WALT DISNEY’S COMICS AND STORIES #715 and MICKEY MOUSE #304 featuring some of Disney’s most celebrated creators such as Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Daan Jippes, Floyd Gottfredson & more! This February continues the celebration with even more classics in UNCLE SCROOGE #400 and DONALD DUCK #363.
DONALD DUCK AND FRIENDS #363 ships with a never-before-seen cover for “Mystery of the Loch” by the legendary Don Rosa as well as a 1-in-10 special variant featuring a reproduction of the Carl Barks oil painting entitled “Slow Boat To Duckburg.” DONALD DUCK #363 ships in February and caries a Diamond code of DEC100834.
