From the Publisher:

Today's America knows Mickey Mouse as a gentle do-gooder. But in his 1930s heyday, Mickey rose to fame as an epic hero -- a bold, adventurous scrapper battling mobsters, kidnappers, and spies! And Mickey's greatest feats of derring-do took place in his daily comic strip, crafted by one of history's greatest cartoonists -- Floyd Gottfredson.

For 25 years, Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse was a trendsetting adventure serial that led where other adventure comics would follow. But famed as Gottfredson's life's work is, it has never been comprehensively collected in English... until now!

Dive into this book and see Mickey's race to a gold mine with Pegleg Pete; Mickey's life on the lam after being framed for bank robbery; even Mickey's fight with a huge heavyweight champ. You wouldn't expect to find a mouse in the middle of such chilling thrills and spills. But he's always there!

Enjoy Mickey Mouse in unmatched quality -- remastered straight from Disney proof sheets and prized private collections. You'll also explore more than 50 pages of fascinating supplementary features -- from rare behind-the-scenes art to tributes by Warren Spector (Disney Epic Mickey) and Disney Legends award recipient Floyd Norman.
