Mickey and Donald: For Whom the Doorbell Tolls

In this 2023 Fantagraphics one-shot, Marco Forcelloni and Thad Komorowski adapt a classic Italian Mickey Mouse story for English-speaking readers, with Forcelloni also providing the artwork. The comic revives the playful, slapstick spirit of Carl Barks-era Disney ducks and mice, centering on a mix-up involving a mysterious doorbell that sends Mickey and Donald into a chaotic chain of events. It’s a crisp, lovingly crafted tribute to the global tradition of Disney comics, showcasing the enduring charm of these characters outside the mainstream American superhero scene.
