Donald Duck
Few characters have the staying power to grace French comic pages for over seven decades, and this Donald Duck — introduced in 1953's Le Journal de Mickey #55 by Pierre Fallot and Pierre Nicolas — is a Golden Age fixture with genuine endurance. Published under the Hachette banner, he's been a recurring presence across beloved French titles like Le Journal de Mickey, Les Trésors de Picsou, and Les Castors Juniors, sharing adventures with an iconic roster that includes Oncle Picsou, Mickey Mouse, and the irrepressible trio of Riri, Fifi, and Loulou. For collectors with a passion for Franco-Belgian comics heritage, this catalog entry is a charming window into how a beloved character found his footing — and kept it — across generations of French readership.
