British Update: Mickey Mouse Weekly 1950-1954
*Younger Readers’ Comics: Running 920 issues between 1936 and 1957, Mickey Mouse Weekly was part of the landscape of a generation of British children, who followed not only the adventures of Mickey, Donald, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Alice In Wonderland and many more Disney characters, but other humour and adventure strips like ‘Billy Brave’, ‘Davy Crockett’, junior Robinson Crusoe ‘Robin Alone’, and ‘Strongbow the Brave’. We have just over 100 issues in stock, from October 28th 1950 to December 25th 1954, including two Christmas issues and the 1953 issue in which the Disney cartoon gang, rather oddly, celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. (Don’t remember seeing them in the newsreel footage…) The Coronation issue (May 30th 1953, VG £10) is illustrated.
