Coming Up: Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol. 8: "The Tomorrow Wars"

Out Oct. 2, 2015.

When a magic cloak sends Mickey to the future, he expects to see wild high-tech innovations ― but he didn’t count on high-tech warlord Pegleg Pete, whose robot Mekka Men hold the World of Tomorrow in an iron grip. It’s up to Mickey, Minnie, and fembot femme-fatale Mimi to end this electronic enemy’s reign of terror! 
Floyd Gottfredson, artist of Mickey Mouse from 1930-1975, created decades of masterful stories starring Mickey as an epic adventurer and time-traveler. You never know where ― or when ― he’ll go next!
Case in point: the other tales in this book! You’ll find Mickey on Cap’n Skidd’s 19th century ghost ship, facing a two-timing island princess! Then Mickey inherits Uncle Max’s “House of Mystery” ― and his battle against creepy chemist Drusilla and her morbid minions!
Restored from Disney’s original proof sheets, The Tomorrow Wars also includes more than 20 pages of futuristic extras! Black and white with partial color.

New monthly Disney comics coming from IDW in April

IDW is launching four monthly titles focused on Disney's Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse beginning in April.

Titles include Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, which all begin with #1 numbering, and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, which continues with legacy number with #723.

The titles will include a blend of old and newer comics, likely from the European versions of the comics. A series of collected editions also is planned.

The titles will kick off with a series of  Disneyland-themed variant covers (see graphic below).

Always nice to see more kid-oriented comics on the stands.


See an excerpt of Fantagraphics' upcoming Mickey Mouse Sunday comics collection

I'm loving all this Disney stuff from Fantagraphics. This upcoming collection of Floyd Gottfredson's Sunday strips looks like yet another item on my Amazon shopping list:

We’re jumping from black and white to classic color — as Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse series makes its 1932-35 Sunday strip debut! Bright hues highlight our hero as he enjoys four years' worth of wild weekend epics... taking him from Uncle Mortimer’s Wild West ranch to the icy peak of frigid Mount Fishflake! And in this volume, Mickey is joined by a famous co-star: Donald Duck!
Floyd Gottfredson, artist of the Sunday Mickey Mouse from 1932-38, created the most famous Mickey tales ever told in print. These Sunday specials — many never before reprinted — also feature the work of later Donald Duck master Al Taliaferro. Collectively, they form a collection that fans have been seeking for a lifetime! Highlights include "Mickey’s Nephews," introducing Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, and "Dr. Oofgay’s Secret Serum," which turns Horace Horsecollar into a brainwashed wild mustang! Classic gag stories round out the book, offering manic Mouse mischief at a fever pitch.
Restored from Disney’s art sources and enhanced with a meticulous recreation of the strips' original color, Call of the Wild also brings you more than 30 pages of chromatic supplementary features! You’ll enjoy rare behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity material, and fascinating commentary by a prismatic pack of Disney scholars, including an appreciation of Gottfredson by celebrated alternative cartoonist Kevin Huizenga.
Check out a 21-page excerpt here.
