Boom! Studios to publish Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse comics
As speculated, Boom! Studios has picked up the license to publish Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse comics for Disney. However, unlike Gemstone--which most recently held the license--Boom will be publishing new material, not classic reprints by Carl Barks and others.
According to Newsarama:
Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #699 (by Riccardo Secchi and Stefano Turconi) and Mickey Mouse and Friends #297 (by Stefano Ambrosio and Lorenzo Pastrovicchio) will be out in September. Both titles will be 24 pages and carry a $2.99 cover price.
The comic creators are Italian, part of the large contingent of creators working for Disney Italia which has been actively producing new comics and properties for Disney and the European market (such as Paperinik - a superheroic world based around Donald Duck, W.I.T.C.H., Kylion,Monster Allergy and others) for years.
That said:
...the rights to publish the classic Disney Comics material is included in Boom’s license, and the publisher has plans for it. “We will be handling the classic material,” Richie said, declining to go into detail at this time. “We’re not going to abandon the fans that are buying that material, so we will have programs and products for them.”
Thank god.
Here are the solicits for the first two Boom! releases:

This is good news, overall. More comics for kids! Both of my children are big fans of the Donald comics. I'm hoping the new stories are good. But I'm most excited by the prospect of more Barks reprints, ideally in large, book collections at some point. I've missed out on previous efforts to collect his material in those formats and very much want to get ahold of it.

Boom! Studios Confirms Disney License!
June 22, 2009 by texcap
I`m still enjoying a couple of days in Japan before heading back to Texas, but I found a few minutes this morning to log in and check on things comic related and was overjoyed to find the following gem waiting for me.
From Newsarama:Richie said that Boom’s immediate plan for the license is to start telling new stories, much like they have done with The Incredibles, Cars, The Muppets and others. `The Gemstone material that was being printed most recently are some of the greatest comics in the world – you’re talking about Carl Barks and Don Rosa and all these incredible creators, but what we’re going to be doing is branching off and going in a completely different direction,` Richie told Newsarama. `We’re going to start to approach the Mickey and Donald material from a completely different direction, and we’re going to try to have something that at the same time is less the ‘greatest hits’ reprints and more dovetails into what the Boom Kids stuff is, which is sort of an add to and extension of, modern presence creative take on these classic characters that I think can connect with kids today.`
That said, Richie added that the rights to publish the classic Disney Comics material is included in Boom’s license, and the publisher has plans for it. “We will be handling the classic material,` Richie said, declining to go into detail at this time. `We’re not going to abandon the fans that are buying that material, so we will have programs and products for them.`
I should reiterate that I am sorry that Gemstone couldn`t retain the license, that I loved their commitment to the books and that I wish them all the best as they brought me many a fine memory but I am glad to hear that Donald, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey and the gang are likely in very capable hands and that they`ve got a solid plan in place for old and new fans alike. I`m still most interested in the classic material so I hope to hear more of what their plans are on that front, but I have to admit that I`m looking forward to seeing what new stories they can dream up.
Look for Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #699 and Mickey Mouse and Friends #297 in September 2009, and be sure to stay tuned here for more.
[Oh, and you can`t imagine how happy I am that Captain America (Steve Rogers) is back (or is coming back more matter of factly)! Expect more discussion on that when I return!]
Boom Gets Mickey, Donald, Goofy & the Gang

Speaking to Newsarama at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC on Saturday, Boom! Studios’ co-founder and Publisher Ross Richie confirmed that Boom has acquired the comic book license for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck from Disney, and will begin publishing the characters through its Boom Kids imprint.
Richie also confirmed that rather than kicking off with new titles immediately, the two titles that will join Boom Kids’ Disney/Pixar and Muppet titles in September are Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #699 (by Riccardo Secchi and Stefano Turconi) and Mickey Mouse and Friends #297 (by Stefano Ambrosio and Lorenzo Pastrovicchio). Both titles will be 24 pages and carry a $2.99 cover price.
The comic creators are Italian, part of the large contingent of creators working for Disney Italia which has been actively producing new comics and properties for Disney and the European market (such as Paperinik - a superheroic world based around Donald Duck, W.I.T.C.H., Kylion,Monster Allergy and others) for years.
Gemstone last held the license for the Disney characters, but ceased publication at the end of 2008 due to financial issues within the company.
Richie said that Boom’s immediate plan for the license is to start telling new stories, much like they have done with The Incredibles, Cars, The Muppets and others. “The Gemstone material that was being printed most recently are some of the greatest comics in the world – you’re talking about Carl Barks and Don Rosa and all these incredible creators, but what we’re going to be doing is branching off and going in a completely different direction,” Richie told Newsarama. “We’re going to start to approach the Mickey and Donald material from a completely different direction, and we’re going to try to have something that at the same time is less the ‘greatest hits’ reprints and more dovetails into what the Boom Kids stuff is, which is sort of an add to and extension of, modern presence creative take on these classic characters that I think can connect with kids today.”
That said, Richie added that the rights to publish the classic Disney Comics material is included in Boom’s license, and the publisher has plans for it. “We will be handling the classic material,” Richie said, declining to go into detail at this time. “We’re not going to abandon the fans that are buying that material, so we will have programs and products for them.”
While Boom’s take on Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and the rest of the crew will be new, Richie said that there wasn’t much discussion when it came to what to call the comics, or rather, what long-running series to pick up.
“Our first solicitation is for Mickey Mouse and Friends and Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, Richie said. “Disney comics are some of the longest-running comic in the history of comic book publishing, and Comics and Stories I believe, is the longest-running series behind Action Comics and Detective Comics. Our first issue of Walt Disney Comics and Stories will be #699, which is kind of humbling legacy to pick up when you have a comic book company that’s only four years old. To be entrusted with that sort of thing, it’s obviously something that we’re looking to handle with the most respect and intensity that we can. I think the Mickey stories that we’re putting together are really going to surprise people. It’s very fresh and cool and is going to be a lot of fun.”
Richie indicated that further announcements about more Disney titles coming from Boom will be made at July’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Newsarama Note: The original article misquoted Richie as saying that (which began in 1952) was one of the longest running comics, when he actually said that Disney comics as a category, are some of the longst running comics in the history of comics.
