Donald Duck - Donald Duck - 66 Comic - Various editions - 1962/1966

Walt Disney – Donald Duck #85–154 – 53 Gold Key Comics – USA – 1962/1974

Magnificent lot composed of 53 original American comics starring Walt Disney – Donald Duck, published by Gold Key Comics between 1962 and 1974.

These are authentic USA original editions in English, not reprints, belonging to the historic Gold Key series.

Particularly interesting is the presence of Donald Duck #85 (December 1962), the first issue of the series published by Gold Key.

The issues were imported into Italy and on some covers you can find import stamps from that era, including:

* “La Casa del Giornale”
* “Interdipress”
* “A.G. Napoli”

These stamps constitute a particularly interesting feature for the European collector and document the comics’ provenance from the Italian market of the time.
