Mickey Mouse

Few icons need less introduction than Mickey Mouse, yet discovering him within the pages of Le Journal de Mickey — a French publication from Hachette — adds a genuinely charming dimension to his storied comics legacy. Debuted in this catalog in 1952, courtesy of the legendary creative talents of Bill Walsh and Floyd Gottfredson, this is Golden Age Mickey as filtered through a beloved European comics tradition. Across his appearances here he shares the page with none other than Donald Duck, making for some truly classic cartoon company. With only four appearances catalogued, these issues carry the quiet appeal of rare windows into mid-century Disney comics history.
