About this title

Synopsis

Collects the first and second volume of Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse newspaper comic strips by Floyd Gottfredson, one of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th century. Vol. 1, “Race to Death Valley,” features a dozen different adventures starring Mickey, his gal Minnie and her uncle Mortimer (not to be confused with Mickey’s rival in the animated shorts!), his pals Horace Horsecollar and Butch, the villainous Pegleg Pete, and the mysterious and shrouded Fox. Relive Mickey’s race to a gold mine with Pegleg Pete hot on his heels; Mickey’s life on the lam; and Mickey’s ringside battle with a hulking heavyweight champ! In Vol. 2: Trapped on Treasure Island, Mickey fights with pirates on desolate Treasure Island; quests with Goofy to catch ruthless counterfeiters; and battles to save windy Horace Horsecollar from mad scientists, a robbery frame-up ― and himself! Bad guys “Bill Shakespeare” and hypnosis-happy Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex join archenemy Pegleg Pete.

About the Authors

Hired as a short-term replacement on the fledgling Mickey Mouse daily strip in 1930, Floyd Gottfredson (1905–1986) went on to draw the feature for the next 45 years. He created the most famous Mickey tales ever told in print. He is a Disney Legend and was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 2006.
