It was way back in 1928 when Hollywood discovered a brand new star who was destined to become a worldwide favorite who would neve grow old. Born on a train going from Kansas City to Hollywood, his name was Mickey Mouse. Soon, his immense popularity at the Box Office led to a starring role in the daily comic strips, and then to the color Sunday sections. Mickey Mouse magazines and Big Little Books, wristwatches, Lionel train cars, and countless other commercial endorsements followed. He finally got his own regular comic book series with Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and Dell one-shots. As other genres of comics came and went, the popularity of Mickey, Donal Duck, and the other Disney characters remained strong with comic book readers. Revived in the 1980s and 90s by Bruce Hamilton's Gladstone Comics, these classic stories became available to a new generation of comic book readers. In CBM #95, publisher/entrepreneur Hamilton reviews this fascinating history with the help of CBM's own Michael Naiman, including 16 full color pages of classic Disney images. Don't miss it!

Starting in the mid-1960s, fantasy artist Frank Frazetta exploded onto the scene with his illustrations for paperback books and Warren's Creepy and Eerie. Frazetta's work was wildly influential on a group of young artists just cutting their artistic teeth...artists like Jeffrey Jones, Berni Wrightson, Michael Kaluta, and Frank Brunner, to name a few...and in the 1970s each of these artists came into his own in the field of comic books. CBM #105 features an in-depth look at the art and careers of these young turks, who, although initially inspired by Frazetta, have gone on to carve names for themselves as comic book artists. Also including our regular features: That Wonderful Year... by Michelle Nolan ? NEW!, Funnies Farrago by R.C. Harvey, Nolan's Notebook by Michelle Nolan, Inspiration Central by Bill Baker, Oddball Comics by Scott Shaw!, Collectable Character Statues by Mike Wilbur, CBM Marketwatch by our Advisors, The Naiman Report by Michael Naiman, Marketplace Mail and much, much more!
