Today at ComicsAlliance, I take a look at Fantagraphics’ new collection of Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse, one of the greatest comics ever. I know, I was surprised about that too. But it’s a masterful bit of comedic timing and epic storytelling, blended together into some next-level work that holds up today even though it was printed eight full years before Superman made his debut.

Also, there’s a week’s worth of strips about Mickey trying to kill himself. So there’s that.
