With Venice’s canals drained and Mount Vesuvius reignited, the hero battles a legion of lions in the ruins of the Coliseum—only to face Harry’s final, steam-powered escape into the stratosphere. Written by Tom Morrison and Bob Kuwahara, with art by Connie Rasinski and cover by Art Bartsch, this 1950 adventure delivers classic cartoon chaos at its most delightfully absurd.
In "Pureheart Perils, Italian Style," Oil Can Harry traps Pearl Pureheart high above the Leaning Tower of Pisa, dangling her from a single strand of spaghetti, while Mighty Mouse battles an endless tide of lions in the ruins of the Roman Coliseum. With Venice’s canals drained and Mount Vesuvius reawakened, Harry’s chaotic schemes backfire spectacularly—sending him soaring into the stratosphere as a geyser of scalding steam erupts in his wake.
In "Mighty Mouse and the Sky Pirates," a new Carrier Pigeon Air-Mail Delivery Squad takes flight, but their first mission goes awry when the thieving vultures Slim and Fats ambush Captain Homer and steal the mail. With the skies in chaos, Mighty Mouse takes to the air to restore order—before the vultures can stamp their way to another victory.
In "The Runaway Freight Train," a mischievous wolf traps a group of picnicking mice inside a boxcar and sends the speeding freight train hurtling toward disaster. With the clock ticking and the rails ahead uncertain, the question isn’t if Mighty Mouse will show up—it’s whether he can reach them in time.
In "One Pair Too Many," Gandy, Sourpuss, and Dimwit share a bed, leading Sourpuss to count the feet poking out from under the blanket—only to find himself tangled in a math problem that’s far more confusing than any of their usual antics. The story unfolds with quiet absurdity, turning a simple moment into a delightfully silly puzzle.
