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!
