Summary

Hello, Dali! When Walt Disney and famed abstract artist Salvador Dali teamed up in 1946, they birthed a famed cartoon featurette called Destino… that wouldn’t be seen until decades after its inception! How come? Would you believe—Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy invaded Dali’s outrageous world of art, and turned Uncle Walt’s plans even abstract-er than before! Then stick around for more action with Donald, Mickey, and the whole Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories supporting cast! Donald and evil Argus McSwine clash as demolition derby drivers in "Roadhogs," and as superhot curry chefs in "You Vindaloo, You Lose a Few!" Then, in "Night of the Living Text," Mickey and Goofy learn they're really living in a comic book—or are they?

Author Biography

Andrea Castellan, who uses the pseudonym Casty, is an Italian comic artist and scriptwriter. He began writing scripts for Silver's 'Cattivik' comics in 1994, and started doing art on them in 1999. In that same year, he began working on Silver's other comic series, 'Lupo Alberto'. In 2007 he was involved in the 'Cattivik' television series for Mediaset. Casty started writing scripts for Topolino (Mickey Mouse) in 2003. He does art for the Italian 'Mickey Mouse' stories as well, in a style closer to classic artists like Scarpa and Gottfredson, instead of the more regular Cavazzano-influenced Italian style.

Giorgio Cavazzano is an Italian artist that started his career at the age of 14 inking for Romano Scarpa producing stories for Disney with the characters Micke Mouse, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, and others.
