With volumes five and six, we see Mickey go on adventures overseas with Goofy, go toe-to-toe with the Phantom Blot, and explore Cave-Man Island. Fantagraphics includes several behind-the-scenes art pieces and tons more extras and commentary in the back of both collections. --Cameron Hatheway

The swift-paced verve of Gottfredson's storytelling and the period charm of his drawings make these vintage strips a delight...--Gordon Flagg

...[T]he stories are great; beautifully drawn and full of clever gags that hold up 75 years later, with thrilling adventure, engaging character and a use of the medium that, in a lot of ways, puts its contemporary superhero comics to shame. --Chris Sims
