"Ya still think it pays to fight dirty?" No bad guys can beat Walt
Disney's classic Mickey; no other "modest mouse" has seen more
two-fisted action or outrageous comedy! And now our big-eared hero is
back with more edge-of-your-seat adventures: traveling from Umbrellastan
to Texas -- and duking it out with villains like Dr. Vulter, Pegleg
Pete, and malicious miser Eli Squinch!
Floyd Gottfredson, artist and writer of Mickey Mouse, turned the strip
into a 100-proof cocktail of thrills, comedy, warmth, and cynicism. In
this volume, you'll saddle up for Gottfredson's two most famous Wild
West epics: a "Race for Riches" amid rockslides and rustlers, then a
dead-shot showdown with the brutal "Bat Bandit!" Back home in Mouseton,
the mayhem continues when Mickey, Donald, and Goofy run a crime-fighting
newspaper -- and face trouble with mobsters and speeding black sedans!
Lovingly restored from Disney's proof sheets, High Noon at Inferno
Gulch also includes more than 50 pages of rootin'-tootin' supplementary
features! You'll enjoy rare behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity
material, and vivid commentary by a pistol-packin' posse of seasoned
Disney scholars.
Walt Disney often said that his studio's success "all started with a
Mouse." Now it's time to rediscover the wild, unforgettable personality
behind the icon!
