Mickey Mouse and Friends #297

Mickey Mouse suits up as a sorcerer in this fantasy-flavored 2009 issue from Boom! Kids, brandishing a gnarled staff while decked out in a sweeping red cape and wide-brimmed hat — with Goofy and Donald similarly garbed for magical adventure at his side. A small green dragon clings to the rocky ledge beneath them, lightning crackling through a stormy sky to set a genuinely dramatic mood. Writer Stefano Ambrosio and artist Marco Gervasio bring the trio to "The Dolmen Swamp," promising the kind of lighthearted yet surprisingly atmospheric storytelling that made this era of Disney comics a treat.
