DescriptionThis is the cover of Mickey Mouse Mystery Magazine Omnibus #1 which reprints the first 6 stories of the series, published in Italy from May 1999 to March 2001, about Mickey Mouse and his investigation in the city of Anderville.The series, a noir story starring Mickey Mouse as the main character, is composed of only twelve parts, and it is regarded by fans as one of the best Disney series ever, together with PKNA. It is often called MM or even MMMM and it's set in Anderville, a chaotic metropolis, modeled on the city of New York. Anderville is a deceiving city, full of criminals. In this new setting, Mickey Mouse has a hard life, because he has no friends and because the authors wanted to break the traditional cliché of his adventures in Mouseton, featured in the Italian comic Topolino. Villains are different from Black Pete and even from Phantom Blot, often unsuspected, and even friends act rudely toward Mickey Mouse, who often feels disoriented in the big city. These stories were directed to a more adult reader, trying to bring to a new life the "old style Mickey Mouse" of the 1930s and 1940s stories, written and illustrated by the late Floyd Gottfredson. Back to Corrado's cover, we immediately realize this is not the typical Mickey Mouse book. It's not a reassuring image, from the framing down to the composition, with a resolute Mickey Mouse in a perilous situation. It kind of sets the tone for the book, isn't it? This is the magnificent cover prelim, but I also own the final cover art piece. I also have to mention that this piece was a marvelous gift from Corrado at the end of a trip by car back from Lucca Collezionando 2024 Comic Con, totally unexpected, and I was already so incredibly happy to have had the chance to talk with him for a few hours ^_^ Huge thanks, Corrado!

You have a Mission Impossible feel to this cover. The motion of Mickey is enhanced by the architectural background. The facial expression on Mickey is priceless. Congrats!
