Donald Duck & Co #51/1997
"Julelys i mørket" is a heartfelt holiday tale from 1997, written by Charlie Martin and Harald Dyrkorn and illustrated by Vicar with inks by Vicar. Set on the eve of Christmas, the story follows the residents of Andeby—cut off by weeks of snow—struggling with empty stores and dwindling supplies, as one family’s festive spirit might just hold the key to a surprising gift.
In the snowbound town of Andeby, with roads cut off and stores emptied by weeks of blizzards, the spirit of Christmas hangs in the balance—until a simple contest to decorate the prettiest Christmas tree offers a rare prize: a box of delicious homemade kumage jam.
In "Sammenbrudd," Grisene throws a festive holiday gathering for all the neighbors—except Lilleulv, who stays behind to care for his father on Christmas Eve. The story quietly explores the quiet tension between inclusion and duty, all within the cozy, familiar world of the comic’s animal community.
When Petter discovers a magical animation water that brings anything it touches to life, he accidentally sets off a chain reaction—Skrue dumps the liquid across the entire money vault, turning the coins into creatures that never stop finding their way back home.
In "Den bakvendte visa," Jo and his friends travel from house to house singing Christmas carols, collecting small treats along the way—except when they stop by Skrue’s, where the usual exchange takes a surprisingly self-serving turn. A lighthearted, seasonal tale with a playful twist, told in the classic style of Donald Duck & Co.
When a gold-laden flylast crashes into the deepest sea on Earth—Frusjihavet—Petter must race against time to build high-tech diving gear and retrieve the cargo from the ocean floor. With no room for error and the stakes higher than ever, this underwater mission tests both his ingenuity and nerve.
