About this Collection

This volume collects classic Mickey Mouse newspaper strips from the late 1930s, featuring the debut of the iconic villain The Phantom Blot in a thrilling mystery storyline. The collection showcases Floyd Gottfredson's masterful storytelling and artwork, with Mickey facing off against the sinister, cloaked antagonist in a series of suspenseful adventures.

In "Mighty Whale Hunters," Mickey Mouse finds himself unexpectedly tasked with guiding an African twin brother—sent by the actor who played Friday in a past adventure—through the quirks of American life, all while navigating a sea-faring mystery that puts his wits and courage to the test. This 2014 Fantagraphics issue features classic storytelling from Floyd Gottfredson and Merrill De Maris, with art by Gottfredson and inks by Ted Thwaites, and a striking cover by Carl Buettner and Floyd Gottfredson.
