I'm loving all this Disney stuff from Fantagraphics. This upcoming collection of Floyd Gottfredson's Sunday strips looks like yet another item on my Amazon shopping list:
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,
including an appreciation of Gottfredson by celebrated alternative
cartoonist Kevin Huizenga.
