We prove that every weakly compact multiplicative linear continuous map from $H^∞(D)$ into $H^∞(D)$ is compact. We also give an example which shows that this is not generally true for uniform algebras. Finally, we characterize the spectra of compact composition operators acting on the uniform algebra $H^∞(B_E)$, where $B_E$ is the open unit ball of an infinite-dimensional Banach space E.
