"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 trend-setting 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!"
