Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse (also The Floyd Gottfredson Library) is a 2011–2018 series of books collecting the span of work by Floyd Gottfredson on the daily Mickey Mouse comic strip in twelve volumes, as well as Gottfredson's Sunday strips of the same title over two separate volumes.[2] The strips are reproduced from Disney proof sheets and artwork from private collections.[3]

Background

[edit]

The strip debuted on January 13, 1930, and was initially written by Walt Disney and drawn first by Ub Iwerks, then by Win Smith. Gottfredson took over the strip when Disney and Smith found themselves too busy, and he continued with it until 1975. These volumes start with Gottfredson's work from April 1, 1930,[4] while including the earlier non-Gottfredson strips in an appendix to the first volume. The series is uncensored, and as the strips were done in the 1930s, some of the strips may come across as offensive to modern readers, especially due to racial stereotypes that were common at the time.[5][6] As presented in the books, however, the more dated material is accompanied by explanatory text, putting it in the context of its historical time.

Gottfredson's run on Mickey Mouse lasted until 1975. In the earlier years, which are the focus of this series, it was a humorous adventure strip—as was common at the time—but in the later years became gag-focused.[7]

These books are the first time Gottfredson's work has been collected in North America, although they've previously been collected in the 1980s in Germany as The Complete Daily Strip Adventures of Mickey Mouse 1930–1955[8] and in 2010 in Italy as Gli anni d'oro di Topolino.[9][10]

Format

[edit]

The hardcover volumes have been edited by David Gerstein and Gary Groth while designed by Jacob Covey, and are in a 10.5 inches × 8.75" inches (267 mm × 222 mm) landscape format. They are mostly in black-and-white, with some color pages, and each collects two years worth of strips. The strips are printed three to a page, with dozens of pages of supplementary material.[11][12][13][14] The two Color Sundays volumes are in full color.[15][16][17]

The comic strips in the volumes have been reproduced from Disney's own master proof sheets of the strip.[18][19]

The books of the series were available separately as well as in two-volume box sets.[20]
