Celebrate Mickey Mouse’s 78th Birthday on November 18
The Walt Disney Company commemorates Mickey Mouse’s 78th birthday on November 18, and you can help fans of the beloved icon celebrate with related merchandise from Diamond!
Mickey’s first appearance was in The Gallopin’ Gaucho, released November 21, 1927, but his star really began to shine one year later when the cheerfully whistling mouse took the wheel in Steamboat Willie, which debuted on November 18. The rest, as some say, is history. Whether he’s called “Myszka Miki” in Poland or “Topolino” in Italy, Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable characters – and symbols – in the world, representing both the Walt Disney Company and his creator, “Uncle Walt.” Since his debut in 1928, Mickey has been a constant source of joy in multiple mediums, from film to comics to theme parks, bringing smiles to kids of all ages around the globe. As former President Jimmy Carter once said, “Mickey Mouse is the symbol of goodwill, surpassing all languages and cultures. When one sees Mickey Mouse, they see happiness.”
Appearing on screen & stage, in print and more, Mickey’s adventures are boundless, spanning centuries and continents, taking the lovable rodent from old England to the far future. Along with characters like Donald Duck and Goofy, Mickey appears in a wide selection of comics and collections from Gemstone Publishing, including Walt Disney’s Three Musketeers (JUN042574E) and the Mickey and the Gang: Classic Stories in Verse HC (SEP052952E) & SC (SEP052951E), as well as the ongoing Mickey Mouse Adventures (#12 TP: AUG063311E) and Mickey Mouse and Friends (#295: SEP063313E). Consumers can also experience Disney’s magic with Enesco Corporation’s Disney Traditions: American Gothic Mickey & Minnie (SEP064641I) and Warner Books’ Disney Adventures Comic Zone Volume 3: Disney’s Tall Tails GN (APR063116H), while collectors can assess their treasures with Random House’s Official Guide to Disney Collectibles (MAY052780F). Additionally, pop culture fans and those interested in Disney history won’t want to miss Fantagraphics Books’ compelling The Pirates & the Mouse: Disney’s War Against the Underground HC (STAR18941F).
