Who is Mickey Mouse?

Mickey Mouse is Walt Disney's iconic anthropomorphic mouse, a cheerful, resourceful everyman who embarks on adventures alongside friends like Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Originally a cartoon star, his comic appearances translate that same plucky, good-natured spirit into illustrated stories.

Few comic characters can claim a publishing life stretching from the Platinum Age all the way to the present day, but Mickey Mouse is genuinely one of them β€” first catalogued in comics as far back as 1933 and still gracing pages into 2026, an extraordinary run of over nine decades. With 422 appearances in the catalog and 14 recognized key issues, this is a character whose comic book footprint is as impressive as any in the medium's history. Most at home in the pages of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and Mickey Mouse Magazine, he shares his adventures with an iconic ensemble β€” Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and Dewey Duck among them β€” making for some of the most beloved company in all of comics. For collectors, the sheer span and depth of this character's publication history, published through Gemstone among others, makes diving into the back-issue bins an endlessly rewarding treasure hunt.
