Author Description

Disney comics collectors have long reveled in the work of "Duck Man" Carl Barks; now, by popular demand, it's time to celebrate Floyd Gottfredson -- groundbreaking "Mouse Man" and 2006 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Hall of Fame inductee! This multi-volume collection will bring together the majority of Gottfredson's works, many never before reprinted in North America! Volume One traces the earliest, scrappiest Mickey from Gottfredson's first daily strip adventure, 1930's "Death Valley," through such legendary classics as "Circus Roustabout," "Blaggard Castle," and "Mickey Mouse and His Horse Tanglefoot"! Join feisty Minnie, know-it-all Horace Horsecollar, fiendish Pegleg Pete and our daring, two-fisted hero for wild adventures among cowboys, mad scientists, and even (gulp!) city slickers! Fascinating essays by Disney historians Jim Korkis and Thomas Andrae round out this collectors' volume in style!
