Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis sixth volume of Fantagraphics' comprehensive series collects the classic Mickey Mouse newspaper strips from the early 1940s, featuring Floyd Gottfredson's adventurous storytelling as Mickey and his friends journey through time and encounter prehistoric dangers. The title arc, 'Lost in Lands Long Ago,' originally ran in 1942 and sends Mickey, Goofy, and the Phantom Blot on a wild chase through ancient eras, showcasing Gottfredson's dynamic art and the strip's blend of humor, suspense, and imaginative fantasy. This edition also includes supplementary historical essays and rare archival material that contextualize the strip's place in Disney history.
In "I Sat at Floyd Gottfredson's Desk!", Mickey's playful moment with Minnie's new hat takes a surprising turn when he mistakes a stranger for her—only to be handed a "diamond ring" that's actually a priceless ruby. The mix-up leads to Minnie's sudden kidnapping by Black Pete, a mysterious figure whose true identity remains hidden. Written by Eleanor Packer and illustrated with timeless flair by Carl Barks—whose art, inks, and lettering shape the entire story—this 2014 Fantagraphics issue is a loving homage to the golden age of Disney comics, with a cover by the legendary Floyd Gottfredson.
