Silly Symphonies: The Complete Disney Classics is a series of hardcover books collecting the complete run of the Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies comic strips drawn by several different Disney artists during the period of early 1930s to a bit into 1940s. The Silly Symphonies comic strips were often used as the medium where Disney presented new comic characters to the public. The publisher behind the book project is IDW Publishing and their imprint (subdivision), The Library of American Comics. The first book of the series was released in April 2016.[1][2]

Format

The books are of the hardcover kind, have a sewn binding and sewn linen bookmark and come with a dust jacket. The books measure 12×8.5 inches, approximately 305×216 mm, and are oriented in a landscape view to be able to fit each Sunday page in such a large scale and so close to the size they originally were published in as possible, given the set surface area.[3]

The comics are scanned from the original proofs of Disney, archived in their vaults located in Glendale and Burbank, California, U.S.A.[4]. The print is in full color throughout the volumes, the comic strips were published in full color originally and so they are in these volumes. Each volume of the series has about 210 pages, in which about ten of them are supplementary material including introductions by film historian and author J. B. Kaufman.[2][5]

Volumes of the series are sold separately and have a suggested retail price set by the publisher at $49.99. The release schedule for the series is one volume per tenth month.[6]
