All signs are pointing to "Mickey Mouse: Race to Death Valley" being an A+ book. The advance word from people who have seen it is that it's a perfectly-done compilation. The preview distributed on Free Comic Book day was spectacular. And comics experts have long rhapsodized about the underappreciated/underexposed Floyd Gottfredson Mickey Mouse comic strip.
Now in stock at Amazon. Can't wait to read it.
By the way, it may seem ironic that I'm recommending this book a week after featuring Mickey Mouse in a comic strip critical of the Disney corporation. But while I may criticize some of the things the company does, the truth is I'm also a HUGE fan of many, many of the things it does and has done. Now even more so than when I was a kid.
