It was fun to see a collection like this! The art was expressive with the varies locations of said adventure, the dialogue felt in character for Mickey and crew. It was just a fun romp. Give this a look if you like all ages adventure comics!

I like how they built this up as a lost comic with missing pages, tears and water damage. The art's great. The story is fun. Good stuff.

This book was a very cute concept and I loved how the authors wanted to share with readers the old mickey and Donald comics they found at a garage sale. Each comic was unique, short/to the point, and continued from the last one to show the whole story. I thought this was so fun and really cool to be able to see how the old Disney comics were made. I will say, after a while I got kind of bored. It felt like it didn’t have depth to it. It was just one adventure to the next, which I know was the point of these comics, but I wish it flowed together a little bit better and maybe had more detail like a graphic novel would. I think these are perfect for what they are, but reading it back to back in one sitting was a little boring and got old fast. As a huge disney fan though, this is a great piece of memorabilia. Thank you to the publisher for allowing me the ARC to read in exchange for my honest review.

Fantagraphics Books provided an early galley for review.

One of my earliest comic book memories was reading the colorful adventures of many Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. So, a book like this is like taking a nostalgic trip back to my childhood.

This is supposed to simulate classic story which ran as a one-page-per-month serial in the 60's. Trondheim and Keramidas made it as if they had "recreated it" from the pages they "found in comic bins". Some of the pages are "torn" while others have various discoloration or stains. The presentation gives it a true feeling of old comics.

The story has some holes indeed (there are only 44 pages here of a much larger tale 80 plus page tale), but that aspect simulates comic collecting back when I was a kid in the 70's. You found back issues wherever you could. You consumed parts of stories and even read issues out of order. It was a treasure hunt. And that is what this story is too in a way. The mechanic of "missing chapters" might throw off some readers. Even with "holes", the reader can easily piece together this grand adventure.

Overall, it was fun and captured an older comic vibe with some satiric elements to boot.

This was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I loved the humor and how it felt like the old Mickey Mouse comics, but was not a fan of the fragmented storyline.

It has an interesting premise with the writers making it as if they found pieces of an old comic story and pieced them together. The reader then is meant to fill in what they believe happened between the missing pages. There are times this works rather well and others that had me frustrated because I wanted more of a specific scene.

Overall, I enjoyed the art style and thought the story idea was interesting. I can’t help thinking though that I want the entire story not just the fragments. I’ve always been a fan of the Mickey Mouse cartoons and comics and I love the humor in this story.

*I received an ARC for review purposes. All opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher.

Loved the vintage feel and mystery of missing pages. Recommend for any disney fan who read the mickey mouse comics from the 60s and 70s

I can understand this being a project comic book but I really could not get on with the fact chapters and events skipped. To be honest, I did not understand the story.
On the other hand, the drawings were like the ones I read when I was a child.

The book was a bit choppy and part of the pages were possibly missing. The story jumped around a little or I felt like I was missing pieces of the story. I do enjoy anything disney/mickey related. The adventure itself was cute and enjoyable.

ARC Copy...Yep very much captures the zaniness of the old vintage Mickey and Donald comics right down to the art style and colouring. I even had a hard time deciphering is this a reprint or new-modern story!?

Walt Disney's Mickey and Donald: Mickey's Craziest Adventures by Lewis Trondheim was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I really appreciated the old school Disney images and characters, stuff I had saw and read as a child. I only wish the storyline had been complete, though I understand the concept of ARC, so the finished product should be just that, finished. If you like the old school Disney products, pre-woke corporation, give this a read when it is available.

3 Stars

Mickey’s Crazy Adventures was really fun to read. Although due to missing pages, it is hard to get a complete story. It was neat how they were able to capture the pages they did find. The illustrations are authentic and classic Disney characters. It is good reading for all ages.

Such a great preservation of these panels that time forgot. It definetely shows the range of Mickey and friends from the classic days. Although some of the panels were missing, watching the crew and the supporting cast of characters come together was triggering those happy nostalgia. Well done

A quirky, fun romp with universally recognized and beloved characters.

This fun tale takes readers on a fantastical adventure with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, almost in an Indiana Jones manner.

Add this fun and fast-paced adventure to your shelf immediately.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free and provide my honest review.

Oh wow. A long lost Mickey story. This one was fun and quick to read. The true fans that love and miss the old Mickey will absolutely adore this classic Disney work. And Donald, just funny and silly as always. Cannot go wrong picking up this book.

The color scheme is perfect, but the art felt a little…cheated. The art style is very close to success, but ultimately ended up missing the mark. This is a very lackluster story line with lots of plot holes & story jumps. Not sure if this is geared towards children…

Very nostalgic but not entertaining.

My favorite part was the picnic at the end because it made me think of my favorite ride at Disney World. Sadly, that was the only part I truly enjoyed.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, & the publisher for a copy in exchange for a review.

I received an ARC copy of this book via Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This might be more for collectors than for actual reading or enjoyment. There’s too many jumps in the storyline. I get it that it’s supposed to have been lost and then found again. But in that aspect I think they took it too far if that’s what they wanted to do. Overall, I did not enjoy. It was too jumpy and the storyline just wasn’t for me. And I’m a diehard Disney fan. Again, these are just my opinions.

I love Disney so I was really excited to read this and it didn't disappoint, this is a fantastic gift for Disney fans of all ages.

Don’t let the title mislead you - these are NOT your classic Disney heroes, and this is NOT a book for kids. It’s a French spin-off full of French humor, featuring a Mickey and a Donald from some alternate French universe. And don’t take anything from it at face value, especially not the introduction - “Mickey’s Craziest Adventures” were never forgotten, because they were never released between 1962 and 1969. They never existed, obviously.

That being said, I liked the idea - a whole album that’s simultaneously a collection of one-page gags and a long story with a bunch of missing pages, leaving to the reader the task of filling in the blanks.

I was less taken by Trondheim’s very wacky and uneven humor, though (some gags are puerile, others are downright adult, some made me fall off my chair laughing, others went huh?), and the only reason this gets three stars from me is Kéramidas’s punkish art. Oh, and Mickey going all Bruce Lee on the hapless Beagle Boys.

Disclaimer: I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This didn't influence my opinion in any way.

This was fantastic. As a lover of old comics who reads the old Mickey comics we have collected through the years with her children, this was so much fun.

We read this as a family and giggled the whole time with the hilarious antics Mickey got into. This was incredibly weird, silly, and so fantastically done.

I appreciate the humor and the work that went into this. It’s not going to be for every person, but it’s definitely great for those who appreciate the “Golden Age” of comics.

This was really disappointing. I was excited about it because I’m a big Disney fan, but I don’t know what I just read. I love Disney stuff but this was just weird. I also don’t understand if this is actually an old comic or if it’s just like supposed to seem old but either way it’s definitely outdated even if it was made this year. Boomers will like it, probably. Not my thing.
