Mickey Mouse #148

In "The Mystery of Lonely Valley," Mickey and Goofy find themselves tangled in a mystery when the usual wildlife of the valley acts strangely—just as a pair of crooks, fresh from robbing the local bank, try to frame them for the crime. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with energetic art by Paul Murry—pencils, inks, and lettering all by Murry—this 1974 Western Publishing gem captures the duo’s classic charm and misadventures in a tale full of clever twists and rural intrigue. The cover, also by Murry, perfectly captures the suspense of the moment.
