Walt Disney's Comics & Stories 75th Anniversary Special #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Mighty Trapper," Magica De Spell launches a delightfully absurd scheme to steal the nephews' pet flea—because only a flea with a perfect whistled rendition of Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony can complete her spell. Written and illustrated by William Van Horn, with vibrant colors by Susan Daigle-Leach and Digikore Studios, this 75th Anniversary Special spotlights a whimsical, high-stakes caper from the classic Disney universe. The cover, a playful collaboration by Daan Jippes and Henrieke Goorhuis, captures the chaos in bold, expressive lines.
Mickey and Goofy are keeping the old railway running, but when word spreads that someone’s taken over the abandoned gold mine, trouble starts brewing—especially when a pair of shady characters show up with their eyes on the vintage locomotive. With Grandma Duck’s old train still ticking, and a few unexpected visitors sniffing around, the journey ahead might be more than just a simple ride.
In "Ridin' the Rails (part 2)," Mickey and Goofy keep the Tankburg, Cinder City and Pacific line running despite tough times, but their hopes rise when Grandma Duck takes over the shuttered Cinder City mine. As they head up the line with renewed purpose, the journey takes a turn—just as things seem to be improving, another twist throws the rails into chaos.
In "Ridin' the Rails (part 3)," Mickey Mouse and Goofy keep the old railway running, but trouble brews when word spreads that someone’s taken over the abandoned gold mine—and a crew of crooks are determined to stop the locomotive before it reaches its destination. With Squint, Spike Mauler, Caleb, J. J. Boomer, and Grandma Duck [Abagail Duck] all caught in the mix, the rails are hotter than ever.
When Magica De Spell sets her sights on the nephews’ pet flea—because only a perfectly whistled Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony can power her latest spell, and the flea’s got the tune—chaos ensues. With Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and even the ever-scheming Baron caught in the crossfire, it’s a race against time, misplaced magic, and a very determined rodent.
