Micky Maltese - Eine Mäuseballade

In 2021, Egmont Ehapa launched Micky Maltese - Eine Mäuseballade, a German-language comic series that reimagines Mickey Mouse in a noir-inspired, anthropomorphic world. Written primarily by Bruno Enna, Myriam Alfano, and Ulrich Pröfrock, with art by the legendary Giorgio Cavazzano, this single-issue graphic novel blends the detective atmosphere of classic hardboiled fiction with the beloved Disney mouse. It stands out as a stylish, European homage to both Mickey’s adventurous spirit and the moody storytelling of the Maltese Falcon tradition.
