This book examines the scope and nature of Donald Duck and his
family's popularity in Germany, in contrast to the diminished role
they play in America. This is achieved through examination of the
respective fan communities, business practices, and universality of
the characters. This work locates and understands the aspects of
translation and adaptation that inform the spread of culture that
have as yet been underexplored in the context of comic books. It
represents a large-scale attempt to incorporate adaptation and
translation studies into comics studies, through a lens of fan
studies (used to examine both the American and German fan
communities, as well as the work of Don Rosa). This work builds on
the efforts of other scholars, including Janet Wasko and Illaria
Meloni, while expanding the historical understanding of what might
be the world's best-selling comics. Peter Cullen Bryan is Lecturer
at Pennsylvania State University, USA. His areas of study include
American Studies, Intercultural Communications, and 21st Century
American culture, emphasizing comic art and fan communities. His
research has appeared in the Journal of Fandom Studies, The Journal
of American Culture, and Popular Culture Studies Journal. He serves
on the boards of the Mid-Atlantic Popular Culture Association and
the Popular Culture Association, as well as Secretary for the
Intercultural Communication section of the International
Communication Association.
