1 DISNEY MAGIC KINGDOM COMICS

Magic Kingdom

S

ixty years of Disney parks... who knew? But it’s true!

And as long as we’ve had Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris, we’ve had hilarious, farflung comic book stories telling all about Donald’s, Mickey’s, and Uncle Scrooge’s adventures there. Now—in honor of the big anniversary!—we’ve got a limited series to bring you the best of the best!

In this first issue, the legendary Carl Barks and Al Hubbard explore Disneyland with Uncle Scrooge and Goofy... while Pete Alvarado brings us a tale of Mickey, Donald, and the Country Bear Jamboree, dating from when that grizzly hoedown first opened at Walt Disney World’s Frontierland. Finally Magica De Spell is up to tricks in a Disneyland Paris epic: created for a series of tie-ins that hit North America in 1992, but unlike the rest, never published here till today!

In the words of Walt Disney’s 1955 Disneyland dedication speech: “Here age relives fond memories of the past... and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.”

—David Gerstein, Archival Editor
