Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse #40
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Secret of Drake's Island," Mickey and Goofy face their most treacherous adventure yet when a mysterious old man forces them into a stormy sea chase to intercept a fleeing cargo ship. With the boat now under unknown control, they’re swept toward the Sargasso Sea, caught in a mystery far beyond their usual seaside outings. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Murry—pencils, inks, and lettering all by Murry—this 1960 tale from W. G. Publications is a classic slice of Disney comic action, with Murry’s expressive storytelling and the Western Publishing Production Shop’s vibrant colors anchoring the tale.
Mickey and Goofy are just closing up their boat rental when a mysterious old man with a gun forces them out into a storm, chasing a cargo ship he missed. With the wind howling and the sea turning black, they’re swept toward the Sargasso Sea—only to find themselves in the clutches of two notorious pirates: Sir Francis Drake and Captain William Kidd. Blackbeard’s shadow looms over the mystery, and the true secret of Drake’s Island may be more than just a legend.
In a seaside town buzzing with excitement, Goofy enters a whimsical reenactment contest to recreate the landing of Spanish explorers, hoping to win fifteen hundred dollars with his handmade ship. But when rival Black Pete and his henchman Matey bring a live cannon and a hidden outboard motor to cheat their way to victory, Mickey Mouse finds himself caught in the middle of a chaotic race against time and tide.
