Pop links: Donald Duck is 75! Cover Browser is cool! The Specials reunion rolls on!

It's the 75th anniversary of Donald Duck!

Donald Duck made his debut on June 9th, 1934, in the animated short The Wise Little Hen, in which Donald and his friend Peter Pig try to avoid work by feigning stomach aches. Since then Donald has appeared in over 150 cartoons, 21 video games, several feature films and most importantly thousands of comic book stories.

Indeed, Donald Duck comics--especially those written and drawn by the brilliant Carl Barks--are something truly special. But, unfortunately, Gemstone Comics is no longer publishing them! I believe Boom Studios now has the license to do so. I hope they'll use it! And, speaking of which, is there any hope of this series of Barks reprints ever seeing the light of day in the U.S.?
