This is a comic book reprint of unexpurgated Mickey Mouse strips from Disney Studios originally produced in the 1930s.

Now disregarded by Disney Studios, as not in keeping with the current image of Mickey Mouse, this may be your only chance to see these stories in print. 40 pages. 1st print,
Floyd Gottfredson's classic strips had been sporadically reprinted in the past, but in almost every instance, they had been heavily censored. Eternity Comics was taking this opportunity to present the strips as they originally appeared.
Eternity titled the book The Uncensored Mouse, and had the covers all black. They only mentioned the fact that they were collecting classic Floyd Gottfredson comic strips. Finally, they were sealed in a bag so that a casual reader would be unable to pick up the book and confuse it for a Disney product.
This publication offered reprints of the daily Mickey Mouse comic strip, starting with the first one (Jan. 13, 1930). Since the strips themselves had not been registered with the Copyright Office and Eternity provided the notation, “Mickey Mouse is a registered trademark of Walt Disney Productions,” Eternity hoped there’d be no legal difficulties in the project. Moreover, the strips were accompanied by a wealth of Mickey Mouse historical material provided by Bill Blackbeard, who also provided an article. The April 20, 1989, Entertainment Tonight TV show featured the controversy, the title was quickly pulled.
Published by Eternity Comics in 1989.
