Description

1928-2018

Mickey Mouse is 90 years old.

Created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, this is one of the most iconic characters ever created, recognizable by everyone in the whole world even by his silhouette only, a character that changed the story of Disney that later, in the Disneyland anthology TV series, said:
"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing � that it was all started by a mouse."

First appeared in the silent short cartoon �Plane Crazy� on May 15, 1928, to a test screening in a theater, then publicly debuted the same year on November 18 (now considered the official birthdate while it has been September 28, when the trademark granting Disney the name Mickey Mouse was issued, for a certain period) with the premiere of �Steamboat Willie�, one of the first animated shorts with sound.

He appeared in many animated shorts and movies, voiced by Walt himself, such as �The Band Concert�, �Clockwork Cleaners�, �The Brave Little Taylor� and �Fantasia�, and also a star of comic strips and comic books where many artists defined his world and gave him life throughout all these years, Floyd Gottfredson being here surely the most important one.

So, let�s celebrate the great little mouse.

Here's the classic trio from the 30s comic strips (and cartoons as well) as imagined by the greatest Disney comic book artist alive, Giorgio Cavazzano.

Floyd Gottfredson used the unusual trio in some of his most iconic comic strip stories (such as Editor-In-Grief or The Seven Ghosts) but in Italian Disney stories ducks and mice were separated and they didn't have so many occasions to meet... anyway, there are a couple of stories where Cavazzano himself had the chance to illustrate the trio, also with the 30's appearance, one is "Paperino e l'insolito remake" (a sort of behind the scenes of Gottfredson's Editor-in-Chief, a story I always found amazingly funny) and the other is "Topolino e il surreale viaggio nel destino" (that is about the meeting of Walt Disney and surrealist painter Salvador Dali about creating a cartoon together).

When the chance of pencil commissions from the Master came up for the last Lucca Comics & Games 2018 Convention, this was one of the things I wanted him to draw for me ^_^
(and, oh boy, they're magnificent!!!)

Huge thanks to Francesco and the Master!!!
