About this item
One of the most eagerly-anticipated projects in comics. Today everyone knows Mickey Mouse as the cheerful ambassador of all things Disney. But back in the 1930s, Mickey gained fame as a rough-and-tumble, two-fisted epic hero an adventurous scrapper matching wits with mobsters, kidnappers, spies, and even gulp! city slickers! And Mickeys greatest feats of derring-do took place in his daily comic strip, written and drawn by one of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th century Floyd Gottfredson. For its first quarter-century, Gottfredsons Mickey Mouse was a rip-roaring serial the most popular cartoon-based comic of its time, a trendsetting adventure continuity aimed at both kids and grown-ups, and the foundation on which all later Disney comics grew including the adventures of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge by Gottfredsons Disney colleague Carl Barks.
