<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have tried to research details on the early
1930's Mickey comics and have come across the following book: "D</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>isneyana Classic Collectibles 1928-1958" by Robert Heide and
John Gilman published 1994 by Disney Editions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first Mickey Mouse Magazine giveaway series
began in January 1933 and ran 9 issues until Sept. 1933. The cover scan
submitted used in Outducks (Inducks link) was for April 1933
and accordingly is the fourth issue of that series. The second or
Mickey Mouse Mag. Dairy giveaway series began in November 1933, without
overlapping the first series, and ran until Oct. 1935. However the third
or Mickey Mouse Mag. retail (sold) series began as a "Summer Quarterly"
1935, at 25 cent price. The second issue in that series was in Oct.
1935 (overlapping the Dairy giveaway series). From that time until the
end of the retail series in Sept. 1940 the price of this series was 10
cents.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another scan submitted was for Mickey Mouse
Comic No. 1. This scan now appears in Outducks under "Mickey
Mouse" which is the heading for all comics titled Mickey Mouse beginning
wth the Dell issues published after the Four Color Issues. I suggest
that Mickey Mouse Comic No.1 should have its own entry in Inducks and
Outducks simply titled "Mickey Mouse Comic". This comic appeared in 1931 before
all other Disney comic books, was essentially like an annual one shot
with 3 others appearing in the next 3 years, and had a different size:
10" by 9 3/4 inch. </FONT></DIV>
