In 1932, Disney introduced its second-ever original comic strip, the full-color weekly ‘Silly Symphonies.’ This innovative series featured the daring and mischievous character Bucky Bug, who quickly became a beloved figure among fans. Bucky Bug’s escapades are filled with humor and excitement, as he navigates a variety of challenges, from battling fierce birds of prey to confronting the perils of the Great Flyburg War.

Throughout his adventures, Bucky is joined by his brave lady friend June and his well-meaning but bumbling pal Bo. Together, they embark on thrilling journeys that take them to whimsical places, including a mixed-up land inspired by Mother Goose. Here, they encounter Old King Cole, who is not quite as merry as his name suggests, and his schemes lead to a series of hilarious and chaotic events.

This latest stand-alone Disney reprint collection allows readers to follow all of Bucky’s escapades, from his courageous confrontations to the charmingly chaotic tales that fill the pages.
