[edit] "Disney" comics vs. "Disney Comics"

I'm not sure this page makes much sense. We do need an entry about Disney Comics, but currently that entry stands only for the publishing company that held that name some time ago.

I think a Disney_Comics_(publisher) should be created and the current references to Disney Comics moved to that. So this one could redirect to a new Disney Comics page that would contain a better version of this page. What do you think? Lazarus Long 10:52 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I did it. (no need for "publisher" since "Disney Comics" is different than "Disney comics").Lazarus Long 11:24 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Artists and schools

We should probably have some info about major artists and schools of Disney Comics, such as:

Carl Barks

Don Rosa

Floyd Gottfredson

Paul Murry

Al Taliaferro

Egmont School (Vicar, Branca et. al)

Italian School (Cavazzano, Scarpa et. al)

Dutch School (Daan Jippes et. al, Freddy Milton?(He's danish, though))

Well, these are some names and schools I could think of, for now...

[edit] comic strips

How about a list of Disney comic strips? At one point there were quite a few, some obscure. Also maybe a brief description of the annual Christmas strip that was done with Disney characters for some years. Those often had unusual crossovers, with various chaacters interacting who seldom did (like Big Bad Wolf and the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty). Artists for this included Floyd Gottfredson and Tony Strobl. Another historically significant strip was the adaptation of the movie The Black Hole for the Sunday Disney Treasures strip drawn by Jack Kirby.

Good idea. I was thinking that perhaps we should divide the section on American Disney comics into a section on comic books and a section about comic strips. 96T (talk) 20:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I've made a start at listing the comics strips. Maybe we need to provide some information on who wrote and drew these. Having separate sections sounds like a good idea. Dgabbard (talk) 01:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
