Any particular reasons you don't like "Disney comics with penguins"? Penguins can be terrific in works of fiction. As for instance...

Mostly because of these two comics...

Haha! WOW, that first one has quite a title. "Invasion of the Killer Penguins". And that Inducks description: "What if MM wasn't MM? What if he was Mickey Duck? Or Mickey Elephant? Mickey Penguin? Would he still be MM? And would it make him better suited to tackle the invasion of the giant killer penguins?"





I may have read both of these, but I can't remember. Still, too bad for penguins that you now can't stand ANY Disney comics with them. That Scarpa story is good.

why wouldn't they separate the masters line in to mouse books and duck books so we get them more often. is there a large crossover between both with having fans reading both or there is more ducks only or mouse books only fans vs fans who get both, i only read the duck books but curious to know do the majority read both.

I get selected mice and selected ducks from the Disney Masters series. I want stories and creators that interest me. If a book contains both mouse and duck stories, that's often a plus as long as they're good stories.

Are there no mouse stories in any of the duck books you've bought, then?

When will we see the next box sets? Can't they be released faster as the books has been released already.
Thank you for your help with information :-)

Will we get more box sets? I’m hoping so as that is the format I’m buying these in but I’ll buy the single releases if they didn’t sell well enough to continue making them. Dear Fantagraphics, please release more Disney Masters box sets. Thanks!

Which mouse creators have you read in the past? Have you tried any of the classic stories by Floyd Gottfredson from the 1930s? Or any of the Mickey comics by Romano Scarpa or Casty?

At least Scrooge has had some happy experiences with penguins.

I read the Gladstone comics as a kid, bough the Gottfredson boxsets as they came out and stopped after the third one and read the first scarpa masters book. I didn't know if most people fall in both camps or are one sided ( like me on the ducks books). I am happy for people that read both in the masters but just wish there was a way to get more duck books mainly jippes, van horn and more haymens but i do recognize that's likely just my own preference.

How could I forget about that one! Now that's a great comic with penguins.

But yeah, I was being somewhat facetious (although I still think the Scarpa story is one of his weaker ones). The Macan story was widely recognized as a low point, so much so that it became a recurring theme to call a story that people didn't like "a giant penguin" (akin to a misfire, a dud), and a penguin emoji has been used rather extensively at times. 

I hope that closes this Antarctic detour...
