Mickey’s Craziest Adventures was originally published in France in 2016. I remember seeing the cover with it’s fun art style and vast collection of characters.

Walt Disney’s Mickey and Donald: Mickey’s Craziest Adventures

Book Description:

Beloved French cartoonists Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Kéramidas (Donald’s Happiest Adventures) return for another epic saga sending Mickey and Donald on the Beagle Boys’ globetrotting trail!

When Peg Leg Pete and the Beagle Boys shrink and steal Scrooge McDuck’s Money Bin, Mickey and Donald must track them down… across lost cities, ancient lands, under the sea, in the air, and…into space?!? In a hilarious satire that will entertain all ages, Mickey’s Craziest Adventures introduces its epic tale as if it were a rare 1965 Disney classic, deemed too wild for publication and saved only in fragments ― but in fact, modern comics masters Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Keramidas have created an exciting all-new album-length stand-alone Disney thriller, drawn in a kinetic indie-comics style and presented like a classic vintage work, hiding the fact that it’s actually shamelessly spoofing Silver Age comics clichés!

Review

The premise of this graphic novel is that Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Kéramidas found an incomplete collection of Mickey’s Quest Comics and Stories at a garage sale. It is an incomplete collection so that the story can be fast forwarded to the action since each page is a one page chapter (For example, the book starts off at chapter 2 and then jumps to chapter 4 and then 7 in the next two pages). The pages of the book are weathered down and often have stains to show age and wear and tear which adds to the claim that this collection of comics was lost and miraculously found at the garage sale. The story consists of 44 chapters of one pagers that take Mickey Mouse Donald Duck on the craziest adventures imaginable as they track down Pete and the Beagle Boys who have stolen Scrooge McDuck’s fortune using Gyro’s stolen shrink ray.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
