Issue Notes

Some or all of the artwork in the comic has been redrawn (light-box traced) for this Australian reprint. Redrawing on the cover can be most clearly seen in the thicker lines around Mickey's nose and snout, including a line from his mouth that extends slightly too far over the snout. The shapes of wood grain on the fence also differ.
