After the departure of original artists Ub Iwerks and Win Smith on the newly created Mickey Mouse newspaper strip, a young artist named Floyd Gottfredson was pulled from his steady job as an in-betweener in the Disney Animation department to temporarily fill-in.  Gottfredson’s  temporary substitution began in April 1930 and continued  until his retirement in October 1975.  His decade long tenure on the strip is legendary and worthy of a high quality (but very reasonably priced!) collection. During the 30s and early 40s, Mickey Mouse was one of the most popular and best executed strips around.  This is the fifth volume of the project complete work of Gottfredson on Mickey.  DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE COLOR SUNDAYS HC VOL 01 CALL of the WILD is the first volume to collect the Sunday strips. Like many comics of its day, the daily was intended for an older audience while the Color Sundays–whether a continuous story-line or as a gag page–   were designed to appeal to the young as well as the old.  These full color stories are fresher, breezier, funnier than the daily adventures, but still chalk full of the great Gottfredson storytelling, solid characterization in a fully realized world.    They are a perfect accompaniment to the old Mickey Mouse cartoons and they are ideal for younger readers. Enjoy!!!
