hello
i grew up in hungary in the early 1980s and my parents had bought me a donald duck + nephews comic book whenever i was very young and i'm trying to figure out what that specific story was...
i'm pretty sure that it was a "classic" because i seem to remember carl bark's name signed somewhere in the comic book, even though it was all written in hungarian.
here are are what i remember: (please bear in mind that these are recollections from something that i haven't seen in over 23 years at least)
donald and his nephews are walking or going on some kind of camping trip or excavation. i remember that the comic had lots of dark blue and green colors. i also remember that they walked through caverns and underneath giant leaves and i think that there was some use of a giant microscope. i think there was something that might have had to do with a ray of light or something that was related to the sun or the stars. i remember that most of it seemed to take place at night and that the whole thing had some sort of a mystical feel to it.
unfortunately that it all i can remember. i do remember that the art style was older and that it was something that had probably NOT been created whenever i might have read it, which would have been somewhere between 1985-1988.
anyway, im sorry about the vagueness of my above description. it is also possible that it might have been something that was newer and don rosa-related too, but i have no way of knowing that for sure. if anyone can help me out, i would greatly appreciate it. this is has been something that i've been thinking about on and off for over 15 years now.
thanks
steve

My best guess is that you're thinking of Donald's Big Imagination. More or less matches your description, and inducks reveals that it WAS published in Hungary in 1987.

What country are you located in, and what is your first language? If you want to own an English copy, you could buy the "Walt Disney Giant" comic from 1996, published by Gladstone. It might not cost a tremendous amount. According to COA, it wasn't reprinted in a Gladstone or Gemstone regular comic book. It was also printed in a Gladstone album. But that would cost more. But, maybe you could get the most recent printing in your language, in your country's publication.

the first language that i learned to speak was hungarian, but i never learned how to fully read and write it adequately, so english is basically my "first language." i noticed that 'walt disney giant' book as well after doing a google search. i've managed to locate a few used copies online as well, nothing too drastically priced either.. luckily , i now know what i'm actually looking for, so i will definitely be scouring some of the comic book stores near me now..

So, do you live in USA or Canada now, or another English-speaking country? To me, it seems that your writing is phrased more like a North American. But I see that you don't believe in using upper case letters. Is that for typing speed, or some kind of protest?

No, just a request to the moderators to remove that link. And I've hardly been wrathful.
But I'm sorry you still don't see the problem of illegal scans, GeoX. Perhaps when you get older...
BeecroftA, please don't link to illegal scans.

Yeah, maybe when I gain age and wisdom I'll start believing that he-whose-power-is-so-awesome-that-he-must-not-be-named is stealing bread from the mouths of babes. Or perhaps I'll sprout a pair of mighty wings and soar through the air like the majestic eagle! You just never know!
