December Graphic Novel Of The Month

Walt Disney's Donald Duck Vol. 21: Christmas in Duckburg

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SXCRBKG

When Donald decides to let the boys pick their own Christmas present they choose — a Ferris Wheel! Only Uncle Scrooge can pay for a Ferris Wheel, but he’ll only do it if Donald goes to Canada to pick up a 100-foot Christmas tree for the town square. Oh, if only it were that easy! Then, Donald becomes a firefighter and dreams of rescuing a damsel in distress and proving he is brave and noble in “The Lovelorn Fireman.” And, when Uncle Scrooge notices an unidentified island in the South Pacific, the race is on for him to claim it for himself! Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of imaginative exuberance, rollicking high adventure, and all-around cartooning brilliance.
