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.
