Mickey Mouse and Uncle Scrooge tackle crafty and not-so-crafty crooks in adventures in these comics stories by legendary Italian “Maestro” Romano Scarpa!

In “The Man from Altacraz,” Mickey tries to reform musical ex-convict J. Cobalt Bloogle but another master criminal is using both Bloogle and Mickey to get his hands on a priceless treasure! Then, in “The African Queen,” Goofy falls in love with Zenobia, ruler of a lost jungle kingdom and Mickey’s troubles are only getting started!
When Disney Legend Floyd Gottfredson stopped creating new Mickey Mouse adventure serials in 1955, Italian Disney cartoonist Romano Scarpa (1927-2005) picked up the Mickey mantle telling decades’ worth of legendary tales himself! Now Fantagraphics is anthologizing Scarpa’s best and beyond this book’s Mickey tales, we’re also including Scrooge McDuck versus the Beagle Boys in “Risky Bees-Ness” the tale of a sting gone wrong!
