Disney-comics digest #827.

[David A Gerstein]

	JAMES:
	You mention a Mickey story in which "the artwork appeared
gothic, and it dealt with a mystery girl who turned out to be evil,
and was also immortal. The story closed with a house in flames, and
the girl in it..."
	This excellent story is "The House of Mystery" by Bill Walsh
and Floyd Gottfredson, a real corker from 1944.  In the United States,
this newspaper strip story was reprinted in WDC&S 72-74 and (more
recently) MICKEY AND DONALD 18 (1990).
	The "mystery girl," also a mad scientist, is named Drusilla.
Only real problem with the story is that it never explains how
Drusilla made the ghosts appear in the house toward the start of the
story, it only points out that she was (somehow) behind it.  They
certainly seem to be "real" ghosts when we see them early on.
