These are the Indian pocketbook series, consisting entirely of
material culled from Egmont's Jumbobøger/Kalle Ankas Pocket/Lustiges
Taschenbücher- D- and I-coded stories, but all in the six-panel
Topolino-style format. So Don's stories wouldn't be appearing in this
series.
Interesting that the issues contain only Donald stories. The
publishers have two other titles: MICKEY MOUSE COMIC and ADVENTURES OF
DONALD DUCK, alternating every two weeks. Just like the "Mickey" digest
mentioned above, these often have little or none of the cover-named
character and a lot of somebody else. The Donald comic has been filled
almost entirely with Mickey more than once.
