☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume from the Disney Masters series collects two classic Mickey Mouse adventures by Italian cartoonist Romano Scarpa, featuring the debut of the Phantom Blot in a full-length mystery. In the title story, Mickey and Goofy team up with Chief O'Hara to unravel the schemes of the sinister Phantom Blot, who returns with a cunning double identity plot. The collection showcases Scarpa's dynamic artwork and inventive storytelling, a highlight of the Disney comic tradition from the 1950s and 1960s.
In "The Phantom Blot's Double Mystery, Part 1," Scrooge McDuck faces a peculiar dilemma when he promises Brigitta a fur hat—only to realize the promised animal is an endangered species deep in a remote southeast Asian jungle. Written by Romano Scarpa and Byron Erickson, with art by Scarpa and inks by Rodolfo Cimino, this adventure blends classic Disney charm with a touch of ecological awareness. The cover by Giorgio Cavazzano and Sandro Zemolin captures the mystery with a striking, stylized image that hints at the intrigue to come.
In "The Last Balaboo," Scrooge McDuck finds himself in a sticky situation when he promises Brigitta a fur hat to quiet her nagging—only to realize too late that the animal he's promised is the rare and endangered balaboo, a creature rumored to dwell deep in a remote southeast Asian jungle. With his usual cunning and a dash of reluctant conscience, Scrooge sets off on a quest that’s equal parts adventure and moral reckoning, all while trying to keep his word without undoing the very thing he’s trying to save.
In "The Eternal Flame of Kalhoa, Part 2," Mickey and his crew press on through the jungle, unaware that a rival expedition is tracking their every move, hoping to use them as bait in the hunt for the legendary treasure tied to the fabled Queen Kalhoa.
