Well, I have seen another print of the Compleat Mickey Mouse
(1930 - 1955). A limited hardcover edition published
by Nichols I think. I saw it just once at the home of a
Swedish donaldist. I believe it was he that provided the originals
for both the Nichols edition (200 numbered copies) and the portfolio.

A collector in Stockholm have several copies that
could very well come out into the market inside
just a few years. ... if someone can persuade him
to let them go.

And then there's the Carl Barks (never finished)
portfolio, by the same publisher as the Mickey
Mouse portfolio...

The cover is a copy of a work by a Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela (That's
what it says on the kantele). If I understood correctly, this piece of art was
just one of the many by Gallen-Kallela that Don used for inspiration when
creating the story and the characters.

OK, so the cain is in order. However, did the last page of the Finnish book
appear in the prints of the story in other countries - and if it didn't, did
poor $crooge get his _hat_ back at all?

The text goes: "Don Rosa after Gallen Kallela 1999"
Gallen-Kallela was an artist who made great paintings of Kalevala. The cover is just like one of his paintings... http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~xyu/kale-gb/pics/gallen/sammon_puolustus.jpg (You can find the Gallen-Kallela's panting "the defence of the Sampo" from here) I think that Don made his own version of this painting and put Kallela's name in the kantele as a credit or something like that... How many has noticed the Beagle boy in the cover ? I still wonder what is he doing there 'cause the beagleboys aren't invoved in the Kalevala story by any way... Don ?? And Louhi has a Mickey Mouse bikini on her in the cover... Of course. Has anybody wondered that the Ducks never wear pants but when they come from the shower they always have a towel or something... Quite weird ??

I just wanted to inform that I have uploaded a first installment of scans
(30 out of 84) of "Mickey Mouse on a Secret Mission" (7/19-10/23/43;
Gottfredson/B. Walsh/D.Moores), ready for download at:

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Easel/4942/61

The Nazi Cross flag topping the Eiffel tower in Paris, and German
Luftwaffe pilots reading "Mein Herr" and singing "Ach du lieber Augustine" ... well,
read for yourself!

The Gottfredson Mickey Mouse Daily Strips 1930-55 were collected by Byron Erickson.
He told me the story some years ago. He had the very limited set printed from original film in most cases and then bound.
Horst Schroeder, the German-Swedish collector and scholar and editor of comic books in Stockholm, bought one bound and one unbound set from Byron. From the unbound set he printed with permission from the Walt Disney Productions or whatever the name, a number of unbound sets of one year each which I do not think exceeded 50 copies of each year. These were in slipcase.
Schroeder told me someone in Germany had done the bound (softcover) sets of this edition from Erickson's sets, but they had not been able to finish the complete collection of 26 years. I think they did 10 or 12 sets and Schroeder then did the rest. Horst Schroeder had obtained permission for a higher number of sets, but he didn't make that because he did the set per subscription and people in general had to pay him on beforehand. He had planned reprinting the years that had been done in Germany.
Schroeder never managed to get many subscribers and I actually think he lost lots of money on this. On one occasion, his printer went bankrupt just as Schroeder had prepaid him loads of money.
Schroeder also took over the Barks Portfolio from Peter Orban in Germany after the 14. portfolio. He never managed to finish the portfolio, having made 91 of the proposed 106 portfolios.
He even planned doing a complete Mickey Mouse sunday series, but it never got off ground although I think he collected some money for it.
And you are correct, Harry. The printer misprinted one page, making three strips missing in all sets. Schroeder promised me many times he should mail me a photo copy but he never got off to it. Overworked, I think.
Incidentally, I photocopied my set for Byron as he wanted it for the Duck artists as they aimed to get Mickey back in shorts and pick more ideas and characters from the 30s and 40s. He laughed and said he hadn't thought of it at the time he did the set that he should have left one set unbound.

Artist is Tony Strobl and the actual code is S 68135. I am not sure this
credit is in the Inducks at the moment, meaning that your print may be
the only one known so far.
