Stories and art by Floyd Gottfredson, Ted Thwaites, Bob Karp, Ted Osborne, and Al Taliaferro. Sometimes listed as Vol. 1, #2. The long-running vehicle for Disney character comics featured early work by Carl Barks, the legendary Good Duck Artist. In the conclusion of a classic Floyd Gottfredson story from the Mickey Mouse comic strip, Mickey and Goofy are captured along with Professor Einmug, while Pegleg Pete seeks the secrets of the floating island in the sky. But Einmug's booby traps will destroy the island – and the four of them with it! In another Gottfredson story, Mickey gets a pet ostrich, but that's waaaay more trouble than he expected. Donald and his nephews test out the saying, Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Plus a text story based on the classic Mickey cartoon The Little Whirlwind.
