Mickey Mouse Best Comics

In 1978, Abbeville Press launched Mickey Mouse Best Comics, a single-issue collection that gathered classic newspaper strips from the golden age of Disney comics. This volume spotlights the foundational work of Floyd Gottfredson, the writer and artist most synonymous with Mickey’s early adventures, alongside collaborator Win Smith and Walt Disney himself. It stands as a concise snapshot of the character’s strip origins, preserving the energetic, gag-driven storytelling that defined Mickey’s pre-superhero comic legacy.
