Mickey Mouse and Uncle Scrooge tackle crafty — and not-so-crafty — crooks in adventures in these comics stories by legendary Italian “Maestro” Romano Scarpa!
In “The Man from Altacraz,” Mickey tries to reform musical ex-convict J. Cobalt Bloogle — but another master criminal is using both Bloogle and Mickey to get his hands on a priceless treasure! Then, in “The African Queen,” Goofy falls in love with Zenobia, ruler of a lost jungle kingdom… and Mickey’s troubles are only getting started! When Disney Legend Floyd Gottfredson stopped creating new Mickey Mouse adventure serials in 1955, Italian Disney cartoonist Romano Scarpa (1927-2005) picked up the Mickey mantle — telling decades’ worth of legendary tales himself! Now Fantagraphics is anthologizing Scarpa’s best — and beyond this book’s Mickey tales, we’re also including Scrooge McDuck versus the Beagle Boys in “Risky Bees-Ness”… the tale of a sting gone wrong!
