It was way back in 1928 when Hollywood discovered a brand new star
who was destined to become a worldwide favorite who would neve grow old. Born on
a train going from Kansas City to Hollywood, his name was Mickey Mouse. Soon,
his immense popularity at the Box Office led to a starring role in the daily
comic strips, and then to the color Sunday sections. Mickey Mouse magazines and
Big Little Books, wristwatches, Lionel train cars, and countless other
commercial endorsements followed. He finally got his own regular comic book
series with Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and Dell one-shots. As other genres
of comics came and went, the popularity of Mickey, Donal Duck, and the other
Disney characters remained strong with comic book readers. Revived in the 1980s
and 90s by Bruce Hamilton's Gladstone Comics, these classic stories became
available to a new generation of comic book readers. In CBM #95,
publisher/entrepreneur Hamilton reviews this fascinating history with the help
of CBM's own Michael Naiman, including 16 full color pages of classic Disney
images. Don't miss it!
