'Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol 2 Trapped on Treasure Island'

Fantagraphics Books, 2011, 288 pages

Written and Illustrated by a whole bunch of people, but everything was penciled by Floyd Gottfredson, the person this book focuses on. A great deal of the story credits go to Floyd, as well. Most of the inks in this volume were done by Ted Thwaites. 

"Oh, for gosh sakes!" Floyd Gottfredson's classic 1930s Mickey Mouse is back for another round of thrills, chills, and epic quests - taking him from the depths of teeming jungles to the halls of spooky Blaggard Castle. Mickey's classic Disney bad guys are here, too, with arch-enemy Pegleg Pete joined for this book by the mysterious "Bill Shakespeare" and hypnosis-happy Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex!

Floyd Gottfredson, artist of Mickey Mouse from 1930-1975, made it the most popular cartoon-based comic of its time. Unafraid to tackle social satire and grown-up action-adventure, Gottfredson produced a Mouse for all ages - truly popular in a way that Mickey's blander 1950s image could never be.

In this book you'll relive Mickey's fight with pirates on desolate Treasure Island; his quest with Goofy to catch ruthless counterfeiters; and his battles to save windy Horace Horsecollar from mad scientists, a robbery frame- up — and himself!

Lovingly restored from Disney's original negatives and proof sheets, "Mickey Mouse: Trapped on Treasure Island" also includes more than 50 pages of fascinating supplementary features. You'll enjoy rare behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity material, and vivid commentary by a full team of seasoned Disney scholars.

Walt Disney often said that his studio's success "all started with a mouse" - and today Mickey is among the world's most recognizable icons in the world. Now it's time to rediscover the wild, unforgettable personality behind the icon: Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse.
