Duck Comics Revue

 Okay!  A li'l NBW for you today.  I remember this one fairly fondly from when I was small, and someone else seems to as well, as "...

Well, in that case, perhaps you should turn your eyes to The Mouse Maestro,  if you haven't already.  They've got some really good a...

Somewhat belatedly, I acquired a copy of the Disney Masters book of this title, and then I read this story.  Maybe sometimes it's intere...

 I'm really preoccupied by that after-the-fact title.  "It's because there's a Shakespeare play called 'Much Ado About ...

 See?  I can do non-Western stories.  Just try me!  This, from 1973, seemed like a good story to do.  Right, so, just to make sure we're...

 So I'm not gonna lie to you: I was a little preoccupied this week, realized on Tuesday evening that I didn't have anything planned ...

Hey, it can't all be Barks.  But don't worry; we're still going to be fairly positive this week.  I wanted to cover this story b...

 Here's a story I should probably have done some time ago.  The reason I didn't was probably because it wasn't clear how much th...

 I must admit, I like that after-the-fact title.  It's pretty solid. Sometimes it happens that I read a story and zero in on one specifi...

 So here's one that doesn't really have a good title: the inducks page calls it "The Price of Fame," which I suppose is ac...

Woof.  Tough week, eh?  It's great that civilization didn't end, but the fact that was apparently on the table, uh...well, that'...

 Well, I had something else planned for this week, but then Maciek mentioned Barks' Easter story, and I thought, yeah, oughta do that.  ...

 Imagine you subscribe to Walt Disney's Comics and Stories in the 1940s, at the same time that Barks starts his run of ten-pagers.  Pret...

 Yeah yeah, I know: back-to-back Moores Mickey stories were not what anyone was hoping for, probably. I understand the vox unpopuli! And we ...

 I dunno, people, I'm having vague thoughts about poetry after Auschwitz here.  Not just with this blog, either.  You know, I watch friv...

 Boy oh boy.  What do you do when your country is cranking up its theme song yet louder and louder?  Well, if you're me, you retreat in...

 Okay okay, let's do this, by popular demand (?)--well, I probably DID at some point say I was going to do it, so here you go.  I haven...

 As long as I'm talking about Lockman, I've gotta mention this conceptually interesting one.  So we're familiar with Disney Stud...

 So the thing is, I was starting to have almost a parasocial relationship with Vic Lockman.  Yeah, I'm hard on him a lot of the time, bu...

Not a very inspiring title, is it? Of course, it has no official status; it's just what people call it.  Presumably someone from Another...

I feel a little self-conscious about these entries, given, you know, everything.  I didn't cause it, of course, so I'm not really li...

This week we're going to stare into the abyss. "Don't you do that quite a lot?" you ask. And my unambiguous answer is: no....

 I have to get my biggest--and, really, only serious--critique of this story out of the way first, which is man, that title.  Totally generi...

This might be the first story I've written about with an imperative title.  Well...probably.  You could also read that title in the same...

Happy New Year! Let's hope 2026 is less horrible! I feel like that's probably gonna require rolling a natural twenty, but it's w...

Hello, all.  Just a quick hit here.  I didn't think I was going to be doing anything else for Christmas, but then, idly flipping through...

 Merry Christmas.  This year I got you nine Western stories.  Hope you like 'em.

Hello all.  Yeah, yeah, but as I noted in comments to the last entry, I DO have something big-ish and dumb-ish coming for the holidays, or s...

 Look, I'd LIKE to start with an intro, but there just ISN'T TIME! Gotta get going NOW NOW NOW! I mean, "He's a lonely old ...

 You know, in spite of the grim unavoidability (I could've said "inevitability; it's denotatively the same thing, but somehow i...

 I swear, I'm going to try to have something about a Barks classic soon, but I need an easy layup, and for that, we have this story , re...
