"Mickey Mysterier" (Mickey Mysteries)
I'm still working on this document. About 30 stories
aren't on the story list yet, and I plan to write a bit more about the
general concept in the stories.
The links to character descriptions points to Per
Starbäck's Disney Comics
Archive.
"Mickey Mysterier" is published by the Danish Disney publisher Serieforlaget. The series started in
january 1994, when it substituted the at least seven year old series
"Mickey Mouse". The old series contained a lot of different sorts of
stories, where as the "Mysteries" series only contains Mickey Mouse
detective stories. The series was terminated as a publication by the end of
1995, but two stories in the same style have been spotted in issues of
"Onkel
Joakim" since then, so I've decided to include all stories of the
"Mysteries" style in this document.
Each issue is 96 pages of 2 by 3 panels, and the frequency was one every
four weeks.
The characters in the "Mysteries" stories are:
- Mickey
Mouse [
MM]
- Title character.
- Hat and trench-coat private detective with an office in a really
bad part of town.
- The building where Mickey has his office (it
kind of reminds me of V. I. Warshawski's office building).
- Minnie
Mouse [
Mi]
- Mickey's girlfriend.
- Talkshow host on Channel 13.
- In about half of the stories.
- Chief
O'Hara [
CO]
- The police chief in Duckburg (Yes, Mickey & Co. does
also live in "Andeby" according to Danish tradition.)
- Chief O'Hara seems always to be have something difficult enough to
hand over to Mickey.
- "Snus" [
Sn]
- Chief O'Hara's head detective.
- M. O'Lean ("Mulde Varpsen") [
MO]
- Librarian (mole).
- M. O'Lean works at the city library, and is an invaluable help for
Mickey in his work.
-
"muldvarp" = "mole"
- Phantom Blot
[
PB]
- Mickey's evil arch enemy.
- Phantom Blot is usually just acting behind the scenes, and won't show
up until at the end of a story.
- Claire Voyant [
CV], Miss Mabbel
[Ma], Jack Hamper [JH] and
Hericles Poogeaux [HP].
- A group of detectives Mickey is a member of.
- "Dante Inferno" [
DI]
- (Italian?) film maker.
