Is someone kidding me or is this really real?! Donald Duck is like Yuri Gagarin?! Yes, Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space. I didn't know about this until I looked it up online and it's amazing that the Italians know what they're doing. And thanks to my friends, I read comic books and I found the amazing fact that Donald always wanted to be a cosmonaut or an astronaut. So is his sister Della Duck. 😄

Kudos to the author of the comic cover (whoever he is), because Donald looks great as Gagarin, and it's no wonder, because the Russian word Gagarin means wild duck. That's why ducks in space are always my favorite! This is so cool! 😄 This is a small step for ducklings, and a giant step for humanity or for ducks in space in general!

He is so pretty ♡

For Italia’s cape parody Paperinik Claudio Sciarrone and Alessandro Sisti make perfect use of rain as an element pervading the narrative, but never watering it down.

Paperinik is a frankenword created by taking Donald Duck’s Italian name Paperino, and blending it with that of fumetti neri’s infamous anti hero, Diabolik.

ITALY - Part 4

Let's do now the book-shop editions that have been flooding the book market in recent years. For this section I need to clear things up: before 2014 the italian Disney publisher was Disney itself, through Disney Italia. Disney Italia had two branches: the magazines one and the book-shop one (Disney Libri). When Disney gave up at publishing directly comics here they sold the two branches to two different companies. The magazines were sold to Panini, while the Disney libri line was sold to Giunti. Initially the divide was set and clear, but things eventually became more blurry, as Panini brought Disney magazines to comic shops (which are, from a legal perspective, specialized book-shops) and to make prestige books for that market. In recent years Panini entered the book-shop market proper, so, now, Panini and Giunti both sell comics in book-shops. Generally there are two types of books sold there: prestige editions carefully curated and prestige Vattelapesca, both mainly sold first and foremost to the generic reader, or the generic comic reader, thinking less about the Disney conoisseur who could be interested. But there are cases where it is the opposite, so I'll detail all of those. I'll start with the Panini line, and then shift to Giunti.

Disney Classic (2019-)

This line of books is pretty easy to explain: it presents the italian translations of the IDW Taliaferro collection and the Fantagraphics Barks and Gottfredson collections. The Fantagraphics ones were started by Giunti, who later gave up on the project, which was revived by Panini. While these books initially translated carefully the original articles, as times went by they featured original ones. We don't know why, but some have speculated that a rights issue arose.

I Grandi Maestri Disney (2023-)

Weird series. As Grandi Autori was being rebooted, Panini started publishing some books dedicated to Disney authors for the book-shop market. They were hardcover reprints with articles detailing the life and works of some relevant artist... but mainly people who have already been covered by Grandi Autori. And these aren't prestige editions of Grandi Autori, as this is curated by a different guy (except the Barks book). Two different series with the same goal, albeit for different markets, were seen as a weird publishing choice by Disney fans, but things got even more weird, as Panini started to use this label to publish unrelated books about Disney... places. The identity for this series remain a mystery.

Disney Special Books (2021-)

This is the random folder for Panini books distributed in book-shops. Really random, as we can identify different categories of volumes published under this label. There are the books featuring recent Topolino sagas: Evaporati, Lord Hatequack, the Artibani/Pastrovicchio vintage trilogy, the Enna/A. Pastrovicchio vintage cinema bilogy, Blue Peaks Valley, La ciurma del Sole Nero, Il destino di Paperone, etc. Then there are some prestige books collections of classic Disney comics, some of them have an even more prestige edition in this same line: the regular prestige books have been Messer Papero, Paperino il paladino, Storia e Gloria, Topolino e i grandi esploratori, Victorian Ladies (interestingly, most of them had been featured in the previous Tesori Disney title). The ones who got an even more prestige treatment, oftentimes with recoloring, have been Mickey's Inferno, The Ice Sword (only the first story), La Strada, A Christmas for Shacktown. Then there are new editions of some vintage collections, to attract the older generation of readers, I gave examples here. And then there are random books, whose goal is just to have a specific story or series or theme in a book-shop. And some of these aren't even book-shop titles, as the Korhonen collection or the Donald Duck 90 one or the Once upon a mouse in the future book, as they were sold in limited steel(or wood)boxes.

Letteratura Disney Panini (2023-)

I didn't even know these existed as their own series, as I thought they were part of Disney Special Books, but appearently the parodies books are part of a separate line. And they feature Disney parodies, as it's easy to tell. They have articles and behind the scenes.

PK Omnibus (2023-)

I don't think it's distributed in book-shops, but it seems that it is categorized as such. As of now we have 3 volumes out of 7 for Pkna. If it goes well they could even continue with Pk2 and Pkne. It is curated by Valerio Paccagnella.

And now, let's shift to Giunti.

Le più belle storie Disney (2013-)

One could argue that this is Giunti's flagship title. It was started by Disney Libri and it reprints random stories based on the theme that each volume features. Rarely they publish original stories, as in the Donald's 90th birthday book, or in the ancillary and now deceased title Amici del Pianeta (the last Estrella Marina adventure was published there). Volumes here are targeted to the generic audience and are quite cheap, compared to the Panini books. These are hardcovers.

The Best of le più belle storie Disney (2018-)

This title reprints some stories appeared in the previous series, often mixing more books, and other times they are using original indexes, insted of a compilation of previous volumes. It's weird, I know, but the penultimate one is good. These are softcovers.

Le più belle storie Disney pocket (2022-)

These are cheaper softcover reprints (with less pages, so not really integral reprints) of some books from the main title.

Le più belle storie Disney special (2016-)

This title started as reprints of Disney sagas, but soon it diverged and now it is dedicated to reprint Witch chronologically. And I'm pleased by this choice. These are hardcover volumes.

Disney Comics Collection (2023-)

This series publishes random titles, which may be linked by the fact that they are productions initiated by Disney Global. in fact Giunti used it for Diary of a Wacky Knight (only the first volume as it was later reprinted and complited by Panini), the recent Witch reboot and an adaptation of Nightmare before Christmas.

Capolavori della Letteratura (2016-)

Parodies tend to fare good with the generic reader, so it seems obvious how one of the main publications of Giunti would be one dedicated to them. Having a parody next to the original work may improve sales of both, I think. Recently they are publishing original comic stories and illustrated tales too. I highlighted this trend here.

EXTRA

I Classici della Letteratura (2024-)

And so Giunti is over. I would have finished, but there is another title going on these days. In the tradition of newspapers supplements and newstands collections, RBA is publishing a new edition of the Disney parodies. It's the 4th one, as the first of this kind was published attached to Il Corriere della Sera in 2006. As in every edition, there are some additions of newer stories to the canon. It seems to aim at an international reach, as there is an edition being published in Mexico at the same time. The covers are by Carmen Perez and Tony Fernandez, known mainly for their dutch works.
