Disney Comics: The Whole Story Paperback – August 15, 2016

Alberto Becattini has created a comprehensive resource of information about Disney comic strips and comic books, with information that you just can't find anywhere else. He details the development of Disney comics in the US, UK, Italy, France, Spain, Scandanavia, the Netherlands, Latin America and Brazil, providing insight into the history of all the foreign-language comics that I've seen pictures of but have never read. I've wanted a book like this for a long time, and I'm so thrilled to discover that it exists, and it's such an engrossing and insightful read.

A very thorough look at Disney comics around the world, with a good section on the US comics, and on the Disney overseas comics program. I was not aware of much of this information. Highly recommended, and Alberto Becattini has done the subject proud.

An excellent book covering the history of Disney comics. It covers all the Disney comic characters. Highly recommended to the serious Disney comic fan.

Alberto Becattini’s Disney Comics The Whole Story (Theme Park Press) is a hefty and scholarly historical text that reads as comfortably as a good novel, with over 400 pages of tidbits that inform, interest, excite and surprise. Disney fans, comic book and comic strip fans, fans of Carl Barks, Floyd Gottfredson, and many other Disney storytellers and artists, will find delight in these pages. They’ll learn the behind the scenes comparisons between racy newspaper strips and the more pallid comic book stories, and discover the publishing greed and gaffes that eventually brought the heyday of comic books to a disgruntled end.

This book is the best paper about Disney Comics ever written. It contains precious information about Disney authors in all over the world from the beginning of Disney Comics in the 30ies till now. It's a must for every Disney-fan.

A very good rewiev of Disney history full of description of authors and publications. Detailed and interesting for all Disney's collectors.

This book, to me, seems no more than a tedious list of characters and comic designers which didn't really engage me. I dropped it after 30 pages. It may be useful, though, for the comics' historian or to anyone who needs a timeline reference of Disney's endless production.
