According to the Google, here is another fun literacy comic fact. While people associate Disney with movies, for a long time, Donald Duck was one of the biggest stars in comics. In fact, artist Carl Barks—who created Scrooge McDuck and Duckburg—is considered one of the most influential "architects" of the medium. His stories were so well-crafted they inspired the opening boulder scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Raiders of the Lost Ark of course stars Harrison Ford, who also played Han Solo in Star Wars, and now Disney owns Star Wars. Who knows maybe a cross-branding effort may be in the works. The Adventures of Han Solo and Donald Duck!
