This review is from: Walt Disney's Donald Duck: The Duck in the Iron Pants (Gladstone Comic Album Series, No. 27) (Paperback)

In the 1980's before Gladstone Comics starting production of their 1990's graphic novel format "Carl Barks Library in Color" (CBLIC) Gladstone published their comics and their album series. The albums reprinted classic Carl Barks stories of Donald, the nephews, uncle Scrooge and the gang based on themes, such as the Donald and Gladstone issue. In the next series the CBLIC they aimed to print in chronological order all of the Disney duck stories by Carl Barks. Carl Barks was a genius comic book artists who drew the Disney ducks from the 1940's to the 1960's, and if you have not heard of him, now is as good a time to start as any. As a special treat Gladstone Comics (and their parent company Another Rainbow) began making comic albums in a graphic novel format, and grouping similar style stories together. Like all Gladstone publications, they were known for top quality paper, colors, binding, and printing from the original black & white art with new coloring, despite the extra cost. They made a few albums in the Giant format, at least double the length of the other albums, selling for $11.95 cover price at the time. These were a huge treat to collectors like myself at the time. Issue 27 includes the famous snow fort story, it is a classic Donald versus the boys.
