* History of Donald Duck *

Donald Duck is a fictional duck created by Walt Disney in 1934. His debut was in the Silly Simphony The Wise Little Hen. This short film was so successful that Disney decided to give Donald Duck another role in a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Shortly after, Donald got his own cartoon and became Disney's new hero.

In 1952 the Dutch magazine Margriet decided that Donald Duck should come to the Netherlands. Margriet's editors were hesitant, but they decided on a compromise. A few booklets of Walt Disney characters such as Snow White were first published and if they were successful, the editors would make the very first Donald Duck

The Disney books were very successful and Margriet decided to publish the very first Donald Duck as a free supplement to Margriet magazine. Nowadays these leaves are worth around 200-300 euros(!). It was decided that the magazine should be published more often and more publications were made by Margriet. However, the Margriet reader had to pay 15 cents per issue. Donald Duck continues to this day.
