Today everyone knows Mickey Mouse as the cheerful ambassador of all things Disney. But back in the 1930s, Mickey gained fame as a rough-and-tumble, two-fisted epic hero - an adventurous scrapper matching wits with mobsters, kidnappers and even city slickers. And Mickey's greatest feats of derring-do took place in his daily comic strip, written and drawn by one of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th century - Floyd Gottfredson. Gottfredson's vibrant visual storytelling has never been more beautifully reproduced, with each daily lovingly restored.

We ve already seen the gorgeous treatment that Fantagraphics has given to books like Peanuts... sothere s no doubt that Gottfredson s Mickey Mouse will get the same.

It should go without saying that Fantagraphics has done their usual stellar job in regards to editorial presentation and design... [O]ne of the Great Comic Strips Of All Time.--Patrick Markfort

Mickey Mouse is one of the most important and revered characters in pop culture, and no other creator has written him so human, so interestingly, so uniquely fun and vibrant as Floyd Gottfredson has. The cover price is too little to ask, as the stories in this book are a treasury of the highs sequential art can hit. --Rafael Gaitan
