IPC Magazines had an equal amount of hits and misses when they set out to dominate the UK comics market in the 1970s. One of the successes was Donald and Mickey, a 24 page weekly based around the famous Walt Disney characters.
The characters were no strangers to British comics of course, with Mickey Mouse Weekly (1936 to 1957) having the most longevity. Therefore IPC decided that a new generation might be receptive to a Disney comic and in late February 1972 Donald and Mickey No.1 was launched. (With a catchy/annoying theme song in the TV ads if I recall correctly.)
Unusually for a British comic of the time, every page was in colour. 16 in full colour, and 8 with blue ink on salmon-pink paper. This in itself gave the comic a feeling of vitality. The contents were mainly reprints from the American Disney titles produced by Gold Key comics, but the artwork on some covers and editorial pages were often new, – illustrated by Colin Wyatt, a superb artist with a clean style.

Although living in Continental Europe I love this comic. In contrast to American and European Disney mags it had this cozy feeling through letters to the editor, staying close to the fanbase. While interesting for collectors it reprinted a lot of very old American Disney stories, some pretty rare. Because being a weekly it needed far more stuff than the Americans could produce in their contemporary monthlies, bimonthlies, quarterlies..
