Nice, but I don't think that a blog where you just review random Mickey stories will attract many followers. Why don't you include other Disney related topics as well? Do you want me to help you?

I mean, GeoX's blog is called "Duck Comics Revue" and generally themed around the Ducks, but occasionally reviews other things. I think mousemaestro's good, whatev'.
I think so too (and I'm honored by the role our Fantagraphics stuff played!).
Please, mousemaestro—go ahead and blog about Mickey and the gang; I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts and analyses. If you'd like to cover Ducks, Wolves, or something else later, you can always (like GeoX) branch out then.
Very very good! We need to spread more awareness of what a great character Mickey Mouse was and sometimes still is, by any mean necessary!** The take of your introductory post is very promising. I also like the graphic style of the blog. Mickey Mouse was my favourite comics character when I was a kid, mostly because I discovered Gottfredson around age 7. (I am not super old: I just grew up in a country were some Gottfredson's reprints have always been relatively easy to find.) And it still is one of my favourite nowadays, in my case too partially because of Fantagraphics reigniting my love. (Reigniting? Is that correct? Google translate suggested it )
Have fun with the blog, which is the most important thing. If you need help and suggestions regarding untranslated Mickey Mouse Italian comics, please ask here. I grew up on them. Even if I am ashamed to admit that so many other non-Italian users of this forum - especially Germans! - know so much more than me about the Italian Mickey.

I appreciate your feedback but I think I am good for now focusing on Mickey. Mickey, from what I have gleamed from my Disney comics experience, has less attention than the Ducks (which I understand) so I am trying to even the balance. I do love me some Barks and Rosa and I have other Disney comics so I might branch someday but right now I want to pay Mickey back.

Mr. Gerstein,
I can never repay you and your excellent staff for introducing me to Mickey Mouse comics. I considered myself a prime Mickey fan but I never knew about the comics (which tragically highlights how unknown they are in America. I was in the Disney College Program and not a coworker heard of the comics). My appreciation for Mickey only grew when I realized how dynamic his character could truly be. Someday, I hope to write Mickey Mouse comics myself. I am studying and writing as part of my training. I want to capture the essence of his character. And it all started because you and your gang worked tirelessly to return Gottfredson to the modern age.
Fun stories: In my one DCP class, we had to write a mock interview with a famous celebrity and I selected Floyd Gottfredson. We had to share with the class so I attempted to make some converts. On that same trip, I also had Mickey sign my Volume 1 of the Gottfredson library.
Thank you again for everything and I hope you enjoy my thoughts.

Indeed we do. It is how unfortunate how widespread on the internet the idea that Mickey is a soulless corporate mascot.
Thank you. I tried to go with Mickey short run and a fun background. Reigniting is the correct term.
I will be sure to ask you. I took two semesters of Italian back in college but I am afraid it didn't take. I am hoping to relearn the language so I can read those comics.
I will check out your reviews on goodreads.com. It is up to us to spread the word about the real Mickey Mouse!
I am glad your country regularly reprinted Gottfredson material.
My apologizes for the delay, life and work intervened but the first review is up!
If I am not mistaken, you did not mention the name of the artist of the story in the review, which is kinda weird. It would also help to put a link to the induck page of the story you review.
Speaking of Venice, there are many duck and MM stories set there. This list is what comes out by searching the word 'Venezia' on the inducks, but there may be more. A lot of these stories were written and/or drawn by the Venetian creators Scarpa, Cavazzano, Pezzin and Asteriti. I am astonished to discover that Asteriti sent Mickey to Venice three times since 1983! I remember someone telling me that this duck one by Pezzin-Cavazzano from 1977 is quite beloved. But I have never stepped on it, despite its eight reprints! Cavazzano also drew a Spider-Man story set in Venice, the writer was Faraci. Yep, Faraci and Cavazzano anticipated the last MCU Spidey movie twenty years before! I wonder if it was ever printed in the US:

Not in the US, but it got an English release in Britain in this trade, which also includes English translations of a couple French Marvel stories.
The two other stories would evenually get US releases, but the Faraci-Cavazzano story never did.
