What was life like for Mickey before 1928... before Hollywood stardom struck? In this riveting, phantasmagorical "what-if" tale, we follow the Mouse from his humble origins-as Oswald Rabbit's screenwriter!-through a tangled web of trains, rocket ships, and stolen Shakespeare scripts! Will a haunting tune bring Mickey and Minnie together for the first time? Will Goofy find success as a... ferryboat driver? Or will big boss Mr. Casey and relentless Pegleg Pete strike again? Award-winning Swiss cartoonist Bernard Cosey (Lost in the Alps) brings us an amazing Mouse adventure with a thoughtful, emotive twist.

Timeless tales featuring Donald Duck in some of his most classic misadventures: whether it's hunting treasure, delivering milk, taking photos, covering his nephews' paper route or even spying for his Uncle Scrooge--Donald Duck sure knows how to get into trouble!

In Carl Barks' classic "City of Golden Roofs," Scrooge and Donald compete as salesmen in the depths of Indochina! Donald's pushing tape decks, Scrooge is selling clunky airplane hangar heaters - and everyone's ears are ringing with the pop tunes of Shoeless Pashly, king of the bongo drums! Next, the Ducks and Magica face Circe in Dave Rawson's and Romano Scarpa's "My Enemy's Enemy"; Ludwig Von Drake suffers "Wiener Schnitzel Woes" in a new Lars Jensen saga; and Donald turns Indian chef only to find that "You Vindaloo, You Lose a Few!"

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and all their friends have lots of zany adventures.

Disney comics collectors have long reveled in the work of "Duck Man" Carl Barks; now, by popular demand, it's time to celebrate Floyd Gottfredson -- groundbreaking "Mouse Man" and 2006 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Hall of Fame inductee! This multi-volume collection will bring together the majority of Gottfredson's works, many never before reprinted in North America! Volume One traces the earliest, scrappiest Mickey from Gottfredson's first daily strip adventure, 1930's "Death Valley," through such legendary classics as "Circus Roustabout," "Blaggard Castle," and "Mickey Mouse and His Horse Tanglefoot"! Join feisty Minnie, know-it-all Horace Horsecollar, fiendish Pegleg Pete and our daring, two-fisted hero for wild adventures among cowboys, mad scientists, and even (gulp!) city slickers! Fascinating essays by Disney historians Jim Korkis and Thomas Andrae round out this collectors' volume in style!

A complete collection of beautifully rendered Disney art, graphically depicting both produced and non-produced Disney cartoon shorts from the 1930s and 1940s. These story ad pages were utilized by Disney in Good Housekeeping Magazine to both promote their cartoons and to act as springboards for other merchandising. This handsome coffee-table book collects all of those ad pages and matches them up with many examples of the other material that sprang from them.

When Princess Minnie demands captain Pete get her personal bodyguards -- her very own Musketeers! Pete rectruits his trio of clueless cleaners as her protectors!
