More exciting stories from the original mouse.
Our big-eared hero is back with more edge-of-your-seat adventures: traveling from Umbrellastan to Texas - and duking it out with villains like Dr. Vulter, Pegleg Pete, and malicious miser Eli Squinch! In this volume, you'll saddle up for Gottfredson's two most famous Wild West epics: a "Race for Riches" amid rockslides and rustlers, then a dead-shot showdown with the brutal "Bat Bandit!" Back home in Mouseton, the mayhem continues when Mickey, Donald, and Goofy run a crime-fighting newspaper - and face trouble with mobsters and speeding black sedans!
Great lover, scholar, soldier, sailor, singer, toreador, tycoon, jockey, prizefighter, automobile racer, aviator, farmer. Mickey Mouse lives in a world in which space, time, and the law of physics are nil. Hecan reach inside of a bull s mouth, pull out his teeth and use them as castanets. He can lead a band orplay violin solos; his ingenuity is limitless; he never fails.
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. Kudos to them for bringing thework of a legendary artist back to today s readers in a way that will honor his memory and contributionsto the medium.--David Wolkin
