Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse

2018

When Mickey’s town is hit by a blizzard of strange glowing snow, everyone thinks it’s a publicity stunt. But genius Dr. Einmug knows better: Pegleg Pete is on the loose with Einmug’s weather-control secrets! Only Mickey and Einmug’s mysterious companion—the odd little Atomo Bleep-Bleep—can save the day before a poison rainstorm wipes Mouseton off the map! Romano Scarpa (1927–2005) took over for Floyd Gottfreson and spun out decades’ worth of new Mickey action epics—most of which have never been available in English! This volume also reunites Mickey, Atomo, and Pete for Scarpa’s “The Bleep-Bleep 15" and “The Fabulous Kingdom of Shan-Grilla," two internationally famous tales making their North American debut!

Scrooge McDuck wants to find the treasure of King Duckapulco, an ancient ruler of a pre-Columbian South American empire. But the King’s ghost demands his vast wealth go only to the pure of heart. Is that why Scrooge and Donald are bringing Huey, Dewey, and Louie along? Beyond “King of the Golden River,” this collection of stories, in English for the first time, includes “Me, Myself, and Why” — in which Scrooge adopts two aliases to confuse the taxman—only to develop a real split personality! Plus: The Wild West saga of “Mickey the Kid and Six-Shot Goofy!”
