Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #2 (242)
"Balloonatics" is a delightfully quirky adventure from Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #242, spotlighting Goofy on a whimsical quest sparked by a mysterious stone with hieroglyphics. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with energetic art by Paul Murry—pencils, inks, and lettering all by Murry, with color by the Western Publishing Production Shop—this story follows Goofy and Professor Seezal to a remote island, where they encounter a fugitive who’s less interested in ancient statues and more in keeping intruders out. The cover, a vibrant and dynamic scene by Carl Barks, captures the playful spirit of the tale.
