Donald Duck is the Dutch flagship weekly Disney comics magazine, first published on October 25, 1952.[5]
The magazine was originally published by the staff of the women's magazine Margriet, and every Margriet subscriber received the first issue for free.[6] The comic is mainly aimed at younger children, and includes a letters page from readers.[7] In 2019, the magazine reached its 3,500th issue.
Readership
A 2014 study by Nationaal Onderzoek Multimedia of comic book reading among Dutch children ages 6–12 during the past year, placed Donald Duck (81%) as most read comic book, and Donald Duck Extra (44%) as second place, before Kidsweek (33%), Nickelodeon magazine (33%), Tina (25%) and National Geographic junior (33%).[8][9] In 2014 it was read by 1.6 million Dutch citizens above the age of 13, out of which 940.000 men and 660.000 women.[10] In 2008, it was the most read magazine among Dutch students (10%).[11]
Media attention
In 2012, Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte appeared in Donald Duck. Rutte said that he was honored; he was a big fan during his youth.[12] In 2013, Donald Duck became a museum guard and was chased down canals, in honor of the reopening of the Rijksmuseum and the 400 year anniversary of the Canals of Amsterdam.[2]
