Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #7 (247)
In "The Madcap Mariner," the Rover Rogue Boys hijack a moon rocket and race toward the Moon with a dangerous stash of spreading black dye, threatening to stain the lunar surface. With quick thinking and a dash of ingenuity, Mickey, Goofy, and Gyro launch a makeshift rocket of their own to intercept them, leading to a high-stakes chase through an asteroid field. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Murry—both inks and colors—this 1961 adventure features a thrilling space race with a twist, all framed by Carl Barks’ iconic cover art.
