Mickey and Donald’s crazy journey
Mickey. Crazy Adventures is an amazing story in which Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck set out to chase the Brothers Be and Black Peter to reclaim Uncle Scrooge’s fortune. To do this, they will have to go into space, visit Atlantis or explore a lost temple. On each page there will be a lot of interesting, exciting and funny scenes. Suffice it to mention Donald’s fishing talent, who found out that a large, live bait attracts an even larger individual. However, it is worth mentioning the biggest drawback of this comic right away. This series originally ran in the 1970s in Mickey’s Quest weekly, and Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Keramidas decided to restore it to the next generations. Unfortunately, they found only half of the boards. Which means that as many as thirty-eight pages out of eighty-two are missing… This was the creative intention of both authors and, at least, Mika. Crazy Adventures is a great comic, when we suddenly jump from space to Atlantis, the story unfortunately loses its meaning. Due to these deliberate omissions, continuity is disturbed and certain threads are missed. For example, I still don’t know what the Be Brothers and Black Peter’s actual plan was, what they wanted to achieve and where they were going. Unfortunately, this is really only half of an unusual and fascinating story!
The Be’s + Black Peter = trouble
The graphic design looks decent, has its own unique charm, you can see and simply feel that you are dealing with a “found monument”. While reading this comic, you can even go back to your childhood. You can’t help but feel like you just dragged some old comic book out of the attic with the pages torn and stained. The facial expressions of the characters are especially funny when they are scared, confused or surprised. Other than that, I don’t have any major complaints. Although paying fifty zlotys for a comic book that seems very incomplete is still a bit much.
Is it worth taking part in a crazy chase?
Mickey’s comic . In my opinion, Crazy Adventures has great potential, but by playing with the form performed by both authors, we only get a teaser that arouses the appetite, and does not satisfy it! In this form, unfortunately, I cannot recommend this comic book, there are too many gaps here to be able to fully enjoy reading it. Even Horrifikland is definitely better ! However, I suppose that if it weren’t for these losses, it would be just the opposite, and Crazy Adventures would receive an eight from me. It is a pity that Lewis Trondheim and Nicolas Keramidas did not decide to publish this story in a more coherent form.
