Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse #40
In "The Secret of Drake's Island," Mickey and Goofy face their most treacherous adventure yet when a mysterious old man forces them into a stormy sea chase to intercept a fleeing cargo ship. With the boat now under unknown control, they’re swept toward the Sargasso Sea, caught in a mystery far beyond their usual seaside outings. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Murry—pencils, inks, and lettering all by Murry—this 1960 tale from W. G. Publications is a classic slice of Disney comic action, with Murry’s expressive storytelling and the Western Publishing Production Shop’s vibrant colors anchoring the tale.
