WALT DISNEYS MICKEY MOUSE VERSUS THE MOUSETON SOCIETY OF EVIL

The year: 2128! New Mouseton is a bustling space metropolis. But the Phantom Blot’s latest trillion-dollar heist has thrown the future city on its ear! And when Mickey Mouse, Space Ranger, sends the Blot to the hi-tech slammer, the Blot reveals his master plan to break right out again... along with a state-of-the-art team of the galaxy’s worst marauders! Ranger Mickey will need his own team to stop these supervillains. But are Goofy, Donald Duck, and Minnie really ready to tackle the Beagle Boys, Peg Leg Pete, mad submariner Dr. Vulter, and a giant robot? Doesn’t matter—the Space Ranger Patrol is born, and a clash of the titans looms on the horizon! Artist Johan Pilet and writer Nicolas Pothier bring Fantagraphics an epic Disney adventure full of out-of-this-world twists—drawn and colored in a retro-futurist style and loaded with classic Franco-Belgian comics storytelling!
