WHERE? READ BELOW!!!
DONALD DUCK’s first appearance was not- MICKEY MOUSE MAGAZINE V2 #5 or even MICKEY MOUSE MAGAZINE V2 #1. So when was DONALD DUCKS first appearance???
There are two other print forms that Donald appeared in, even before this very rare comic book.
On September 16, 1934 (as THE WISE LITTLE HEN was playing in theaters across the nation), Donald Duck made his official debut in the Sunday Comic strip titled SILLY SYMPHONY, dancing a jig in one panel. It was a teaser that introduced the characters and primed readers for the brand new cartoon WISE LITTLE HEN series that would continue each Sunday until December 16, 1934. This original series is quite scarce today and the first opening page is rare. If you can find one, keep it, as it will become quite valuable in the future.
And now for the earliest known printing of Donald Duck in history....
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING magazine cover dated June, 1934 but was released one month earlier in May 1934. Disney used this publication to advertise his upcoming cartoon theatrical shorts, as it was a family oriented magazine. Much like an older version of today's theatrical trailers, Disney used brilliant art to create a synopsis of the cartoon on a full page. The earliest existing images of Donald are in two of the panels. If you can find this magazine intact, keep it, as only few collectors are aware of the importance of this issue.
