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.
