from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald Comics & More was a comic - magazine - number of Egmont Ehapa publishing house , which appeared from 1999 to 2000 and the follow-up publication of Donald Duck pocket books represents. The volumes are larger and almost 60 pages thicker than the Donald Duck hundred piers.

history

Since the sales of the Donald Duck paperback had fallen sharply until the end of 1998, an attempt was made to restart in January 1999, in keeping with Donald's 65th birthday . Attempts were made to attract attention by designing the front and back pages more conspicuously . The younger readers should also be attracted by additional editorial pages. Last but not least, comics for the television series Darkwing Duck , Goofy & Max and DuckTales should attract a similar clientele as Limit magazine used to be .

However, the project failed and was discontinued after 19 issues. It wasn't until June 2010 that Donald Duck & Co. started a thinner paperback series in Germany.

Both the editorial pages and the comics were divided into sections, with some sections being more clearly defined than others:

  • Comic worlds : This section mainly featured comics for (older) TV series.
  • Puzzle fun : puzzles
