Another Christmas Comic Book Treat


As we can tell from this holiday-centered cover art (pencils by Francisco Rodriguez Peinado, inking by Enriqueta Perea), there are still some surprises under the Christmas tree. This comical cover is from issue no. 697 (October 2008) of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories (still available wherever fine comics are sold), and is a delight as Donald (wearing his nightshirt complete with some not-too-hidden Mickeys) is caught trying to guess what's inside his gift box. The issue itself is bursting with fun Christmas stories, including a tale starring Bucky Bug. Speaking of guessing what gifts are in store, issue number 700 of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories is coming up in 2009. What surprises are in store in what will surely be a special issue of Disney's long-running flagship comic book? Perhaps if David Gerstein or someone else at Gemstone is reading this, they could drop a hint or two...
