He is indeed lucky but I'll admit the prospect's making me laugh. Air Pirates, of course, includes a lot of other elements taken from comics rather than what nowadays would be done which is base it entirely on the cartoons.
One that I just found out about: Mickey au Camp de Gurs. It could be categorized as a picture book instead of a comic book, but I think it still very much deserves a mention here. Created by Horst Rosenthal in 1942 at the Gurs internment camp and first published in 2014. As per wikipedia: The comic features Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, who is arrested on suspicion of being Jewish and is sent to Gurs.

This is a fascinating one to me - is it considered official material?
I know that it wasn't greenlit by Walt Disney or anyone involved with Disney at the time, but I'm seeing it for sale on a few places, including Amazon; have Disney given the okay for it? I can't imagine it would be so widely available if Disney weren't okay with it, right?
Resident autistic, diabetic duck fan.
I love hearing about bizarre/obscure Disney works - recommendations welcome!
More unofficial Disney comics: one page from an old manga. (photo from manga expert Ryan Holmberg's instagram account) Apparently many of these unofficial Disney-mangas were made.
I find it strange, given the timing, that this thread, seemingly spawned by the recent thread about a bootleg Indonesian Disney Clone series, does not include those books.

Song of the South is freely available on Amazon in a Spanish Blu-ray edition, even though Disney has never allowed it to be released. Someone I've talked to who owns this disc claims it's actually legal because Disney let the copyright expire in some countries, but quite frankly... I can't believe that. This edition is 100% illegal, yet it's there and can be purchased.

There is a bootleg video store on Instagram where I got Song of the South, the despecialized Star Wars, and some other out-of-print pirated Blu Rays.
Wow. If I didn't know this wasn't early Mark De Jonge, I'd swear it was his.
While there are obvious staging/posing issues by modern standards, this lady was clearly better than some of the authorized artists doing the work in the 1970s... I've seen Susan's art before, but never this.
