In the 1930s, Mickey Mouse became famous with epic adventures. He was a daring and risk-taking hero who took on organized gangs, kidnappers, and spies! The chronicle of his most thrilling feats was recorded in comics published in daily newspapers by one of the greatest illustrators of all time... Floyd Gottfredson!
For twenty-five years, Gottfredson's pioneering strips featuring Mickey paved the way for other adventurous comics to follow.
This volume includes the adventures of an entire year. A desert race with a mine as the prize and Black Pete as the opponent, Mickey's imprisonment when he was falsely accused of a bank robbery, and his triumph in the ring that earned him the champion title. No one would have expected that the small-sized Mickey could face so many exciting challenges. Yet, he always shows up for the adventure!
This volume presents Gottfredson's classic strips featuring Mickey in a high-quality edition of rare material from the Walt Disney archives and private collections. The stories are accompanied by articles with rich and rare illustrations, as well as texts by Warren Spector, the creator of the video game Epic Mickey, and veteran animator Floyd Norman, who has been honored with the title of "Disney Legend."
Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable heroes, but few know the personality behind the image. This volume gives you the opportunity to get to know one of the world's most famous heroes better!
