Gladstone Publishing
Gladstone ( Gladstone Publishing) was an American publishing house, which published from 1986 to 1990 and from 1993 to 1998 Disney comics. The name of the publisher was derived from Gladstone Gander, English Gladstone Gander.
History
The company had to publish its origin in a subdivision of Another Rainbow, a company that was founded by Bruce Hamilton and Russ Cochran, Carl Barks Library and bring out limited editions of oil paintings by Carl Barks as lithographs.
New editions of older Donald Duck stories by Carl Barks and Mickey Mouse by Floyd Gottfredson stories were the first products of the publisher. The recent American Disney artist Keno Don Rosa, William Van Horn and Pat Block started their careers at Gladstone. Some of the stories of Van Horn were written by John Lustig. The publisher was primarily aimed at collectors, which is evident from the fact that often the comments of artists or other articles were reprinted.
