I see so many Ducktales fans who always keep talking about “the Topolino comics”, who don’t know even the slightest thing of history about it. Like how in the first Topolino comic, the first one that Topolino (as libretto) made, Mickey Mouse goes to hell.
Recently Alessio Coppola (best known for being the cover artist of Paperino) has shared on instagram some studies and behind the scenes of some 90s projects. Let's see what he has unveiled.
These are concepts for the logo of Jungle Town, the one-shot that was eventually published in 2006, but this scrapped ideas are dated 2001. The story by Faraci and Cavazzano was supposed to be a series, but only the pilot survived. Rumors say that it was a way to redirect the resources from the deceased MMMM project.
Next we have some concepts starring Angus Fangus, for Pkna, dated 1997.
Than some concepts from MMMM. They confirm an old rumor: Sonny Mitchell was originally supposed to be Detective Casey's brother (il fratello di Manetta). He was modeled after Walter Matthau.
I think a real fun concept of mickey that should be explored more is how stubborn he can be
It mostly leads to him being revealed to be right at the end you know ur typical "Others feel for the tricks and empty words but our mc didn't!" Trope but I think it should be explored more in a flaw way
Make him come to a wrong conclusion then be stubborn about it and not want to let go of it I think that would be realy fun And I do mean the have him come to a wrong conclusion part, just him, no villian trying to trick him no false leads or bad timing etc Just have him be wrong and not want to let it go
I think that trait can be fun to explore especialy with detective mickey
