Mickey Mouse goes dieselpunk

In an upcoming Mickey Mouse comic there will be a story called Mickey Mouse & The World Yet To Come. It involves giant robots and Mickey in an aviator outfit, and looks like it could be quite inspired by Sky Captain. It starts in Walt Disney Comics and Stories #703. They have a preview over at the io9 website.

Well, I must say that I'm looking forward to this :-) I've always been a fan of MM and Donald comics and I like it when they take on such subjects.
here in germany and I guess in Italy, too, writer Bruno Sarda and artist Massimo De Vita made some great Goofy stories called "Indiana Goof" with a def. pulp/Indy/Dieselp. feel to them.
Also Donald's alter-ego Phantomias (author: Guido Martina) fits perfectly as does the noir/PI inspired stories where Mickey battles The Phantom Blot come to my mind.
I don't know if all of these made it to somewhere else apart from Europe....
