Was it also possible to subscribe to the pocket books in Sweden? I had a subscription growing up in Iceland (Donald Duck is huge over there as well)

The spines would make a continuous picture and having no gaps where a mark of pride.

I didn’t collect them myself, so I actually don’t know.
But it seems like a pretty safe bet to assume you could.
What is Donald Duck called in Icelandic? In Sweden he is kalled Kalle Anna and in Denmark I think Anders And.
Hewey Dewey and Lewey is called Knatte Fnatte and Tjatte.

The comics were only available in Danish for a long time so we mostly took the Danish names, so in Icelandic Donald is Andrés Önd (similar to Anders And).
The nephews are Ripp, Rapp and Rupp (Rip, Rap and Rup in Danish).
Funnily enough there’s a generational gap between people who call Goofy Fedtmule (the Danish name) or Guffi (the Icelandic translation name)!snor10@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Lol, Goofy is called Långben in Swedish, meaning “long leg”

That usually only happens in “complete collections” or something like that in the US. With any medium, I mean. Movies, books, comics, etc… And it doesn’t always happen, either.

Spot on! I looked upon my collection with pride when I visited my parents last time. Even have most of the early ones where only half of the spreads were printed in color

Haha, nostalgin alltså.
Samlade aldrig själv, men hade vänner som var galna i Kalle Anka pocketböcker lol.
