Fantagraphics continues the 90th Anniversary party for Donald Duck with Walt Disney’s Donald Duck: Vacation Parade.

Walt Disney’s Donald Duck: Vacation Parade

Book Description:

The award-winning creative team of Fréderic Brémaud and Federico Bertolucci (Love, Little Tails, Brindille) send Donald Duck and Chip ‘n Dale on a wild holiday in a new graphic novel!

Donald Duck is driven senseless by Duckburg’s hustle and bustle―and the cure might be a peaceful camping trip in the forest primeval. But can our mad mallard find rest and relaxation at last? Not if his greatest forest foes―Chip ‘n Dale and Humphrey Bear―have their way! 

Fréderic Brémaud and Federico Bertolucci, the team behind the world-renowned Love graphic novels, present a comics tribute to Donald’s Golden Age animation career. It’s a feature-length epic in Brémaud’s and Bertolucci’s acclaimed pantomime style.

Review

Can a duck get a relaxing vacation break to celebrate his 90th anniversary? The answer is a definite “NO!” in this new hardcover edition from Fantagraphics. This gorgeous book is only 49 pages long, but those pages definitely deliver a new Donald Duck story that has the same aesthetic style of Donald’s golden age classic 1940s and 1950s animated classics. If this was an animated short, it may be amongst your favorites as it co-stars Chip, Dale, and Humphrey the Bear. This camping vacation attempt by Donald is a quick “read” as there is no dialogue on any of the pages; however, the illustrated panels are so effectively drawn that I can hear the background sounds of every page. I love getting new funny and entertaining Donald Duck content in the form of this new comic misadventure, and I hope more animated classic feel type stories are published in the future.

Thank you to Fantagraphics for allowing me to go through this Disney comics journey.
