Format
editThe hardcover books have a sewn binding, a sewn linen ribbon bookmark, and a dust jacket. They measure 12 × 8.5 inches or 305 × 216 mm.
They are printed in full colour, as were the original comic strip publications. Each volume of the series has approximately 230 pages, some of which contain supplementary materials. Every book has an introduction written by the animation historian Michael Barrier.[4][5][6] Background information on each featured comic story is consistently presented before each comic strip. All are prefaced with an introduction which includes comparisons between the movie and comic strip adaptation, trivia about the movie, and Walt Disney's motivation and biographical touchstones.[7]
Volumes in the series are sold separately. The release schedule for the series is one volume per year.[8]
