''Mickey Mouse'' (titled ''Mickey Mouse and Friends'' from issues #257-303) is a comic book series that has a long-running history, first appearing in 1941 as part of the Four Color one-shot series. It received its own numbering system with issue #28 (1953), and was most recently published by Boom! Studios under its Boom! Kids imprint. The book emphasizes stories with Mickey and his supporting cast: Goofy, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and Mickey's nephews Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse. Mickey's perpetual rival is the criminal Peg-Leg Pete (sometimes "Black Pete", "Sneaky Pete" or "Big Bad Pete"). Other adversaries have included Emil Eagle, Eli Squinch, Sylvester Shyster, the team of Dangerous Dan McBoo and Idjit the Midget, and the Phantom Blot. Two major artistic influences on the appearance of Mickey in comics are Floyd Gottfredson, who drew the Mickey Mouse daily newspaper strip from 1930 to 1975, and comic book artist Paul Murry, who drew Mickey stories from 1950 to 1984. ==Early development== In the mid 1930s original Mickey comic book stories were being produced in Italy and the United Kingdom for local consumption. Publishing Mickey comic book stories in the United States was pioneered by the third ''Mickey Mouse Magazine'' series (1935–1940). Initially published by Hal Horne, it had artwork by John Stanley and text pieces by Irving Brecher.〔''The Wicked Wit of the West'' by Irving Brecher as told to Hank Rosenfeld (Ben Yehuda Press, Teaneck, NJ, 2009), pages 60-63.〕 By mid-1936, Horne turned over the magazine to Kay Kamen who oversaw merchandising for Disney. Kamen the following year recruited Western Publishing to handle production and publication. Western added reprinted Disney comic strips to the book's lineup beginning with the July 1937 issue; these included Gottfredson's Mickey daily strips re-formatted and colored for serialized magazine publication.〔Floyd Gottfredson ''Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse in Color'', Pantheon Books 1988 ISBN 0-394-57519-9〕 In the words of historian Michael Barrier "Reprinted newspaper comics were never more than a minor part of its lineup until the very last issue, dated September 1940, when they suddenly took up half the pages." But Barrier has also judged the strip reprints "stood out by virtue of their crisp professionalism". The successor title, ''Walt Disney's Comics and Stories'' (WDC&S), described by Barrier as a true comic book, began publication with the Oct. 1940 issue and had the Gottfredson serials as a prominent feature. In the 1940s, Mickey's adventures appeared in a series of ''Four Color'' Dell Comics one-shots with the name "Mickey Mouse" prominently displayed on the cover. In 1953, these one-shots evolved into a regular series titled ''Mickey Mouse'', starting with issue #28 and lasting through 1990. Although other magazines called ''Mickey Mouse'' were available in many countries, they often were less like the American title and more resembled WDC&S, acting as the flagship Disney title for its circulation area and thus containing stories of all the major Disney characters as a function of its anthology format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mickey Mouse and Friends (comic book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
