In "Some Heir Over the Rainbow," a frantic stranger hands Mickey Mouse a mysterious black box before vanishing, setting off a chain of chaos that lands the box in Mickey’s bank safety deposit. When two thugs steal it during Goofy’s first flying lesson, they’re stunned to find Goofy at the controls of a real plane—and Mickey, mid-air, ready to confront them. With Jack Manning handling art, inks, and lettering, and Cecil Beard scripting the zany adventure, this 1969 issue delivers a classic Disney caper full of unexpected twists. The cover by Larry Mayer captures the moment the plane takes off, a vibrant scene of flight and folly.
