I think the only original Dutch detective Mickey stories are the Mickey Solves It one-pagers, and probably only a number of them.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-413122346952047292018-02-24T10:00:55.422+01:002018-02-24T10:00:55.422+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.C.

The best Donald/Scrooge stories were by American creators (Barks, Rosa) and therefore were not eligible for these pocket books which consisted almost entirely of Italian Disney stories. <br /><br />But I've always liked the Italian ones - they're the ones I grew up with and will always cherish. (And that includes quite a lot of the Donald stories as well.)<br /><br />I still subscribe to the Swedish pockets, I have a full set and I'm not going to stop subscribing to them ever...Christian_Henrikssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013383718388416698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-1514304833638820612018-02-23T21:03:49.986+01:002018-02-23T21:03:49.986+01:00The plot of "The Lady in Blue" sounds a ...The plot of "The Lady in Blue" sounds a lot like one of my favorite movies, "D.O.A."

The currently running series with over two-hundred volumes is the third one, and the one I grew up with. The pocket you linked to would've been from the second Donald Duck Pocket series, of which I have read only a few volumes (I remember they were only partially printed in color, as opposed to the full-color third series).<br /><br />In the Netherlands, or at least when I read the comics, the Mickey as a detective stories were mostly featured in the Donald Duck Pocket series, as they were mostly comprised of translated European comics, while the Donald Duck magazine usually only featured the Mickey Solves It one-page shorts. So yeah, I too really liked the Pocket series for their Mickey Mouse stories (though the better Donald/Scrooge stories were usually not published in the Pockets, but other series).Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-59468789466437659762018-02-23T19:02:18.373+01:002018-02-23T19:02:18.373+01:00Being Swedish, my experience is more or less the s...Being Swedish, my experience is more or less the same as yours. The publication of Disney stories in Sweden is quite similar to that of the Netherlands. My favourites were always the "Kalle Ankas Pocket" - an equivalent of your "Pockets 2e reeks 3" possibly?<br /><br />And Mickey is always the detective to me. Here's a typical Mickey pocket book from my early, formative years: https://inducks.org/issue.php?c=se/KAP++29<br /><br />And of course that influenced me quite a lot growing up.Christian_Henrikssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013383718388416698noreply@blogger.com
