Mary's Small World

The Disney Gallery in Disneyland is currently featuring an exhibit of the artwork from Imagineer Mary Blair (small world, Peter Pan, etc). Of course, there's lots of available merchandise to purchase. I picked a collection of 14 postcards that come packaged in a tin. The entire collection of cards can be see here (near the bottom of the page).

Comics and Stories

I picked up another book dedicated to reprinting early comics. This one is from Boom Studios (Walt Disney's Comic and Stories Archives Vol. 1 softback, 160 pgs) and features comics from the very first edition of Comics and Stories. I have a soft spot in my heart when it comes to Comics and Stories. I still have a pretty large collection of these from my youth. So, when I found it they were going to be reprinted, I jumped at the chance.
First, the good. It does bring back a sense of nostalgia reading this book. It's about the same size of a comic book and even contains reprints of some of the ads and puzzles that were featured. It was also cheap, or rather, inexpensive. I picked up my copy on Amazon for about $11.
Now, the bad or not so good. I found out why it's only $11. The printing quality isn't the best. There's even a comment in the forward that the editors are creating a "facsimile" reprint. The colors in the book come off a little dull and some of the text is not very crisp.
If you're a fan of early Disney, I would still recommend it. Volume II should be out later this summer.
