The Donald comics are hugely loved in Europe. Carl Barks set it off, Don Rosa took it further. Don Rosa is an actual superstar in several European countries, genuinely the most famous comic book artist/author of any genre. For good reason - he's done amazing stories. Witty, gritty, full of detail and life and even historical context. Highlight probably being the epic saga "The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck". You can buy his Duck works in chronological order from Fantagraphics' new collections The Don Rosa Library.
It makes me so sad that most of the GB guys are pretty oblivious to all the great Disney comics, and even the shorts. They were on constantly on the Finnish channels, and the comics were everywhere. I think even a few years ago, the Donald Duck comic was the most subscribed weekly publication in Finland, with around 55% of households subscribing. And even Comicvines Disney stuff was pretty lackluster a few years ago when I checked.
I actually prefer Looney Tunes, but some of the Donald shorts were brilliant
