Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot. This is the holy grail of the Four Color series. It is the most valuable comic in teh series and the scarcest. Overstreet does not list VF/NM or NM- as copies never surcaed in that grade. In recent years a 9.2 surfaced and sold for 50k. Art is byGottfredson. At a modest 5.5 there are only ten better copies out of 42 graded. In Jerry Weists book "the greatest 100 comics" this was listed as the 31st most important of all time.

Mickey Mouse in the Riddle of the Red Hat 8/45 This issue was signed by Carl Barks on the inside first page.
Cover Art: Carl Buettner
Script: Eleanor Packer
Pencils & Inks: Carl Barks, Vivie Risto and Don Gunn
All Mickey Mouse Four Color appearances feel like key issues, but with Carl Barks doing some of the artwork, this issue has special collector appeal. As far as I can tell it was the only Mickey Mouse Four Color with involvement from Carl Barks. It’s also one of the most reprinted books I have seen:
• in Mickey Mouse in Color (book) (Another Rainbow, 1988 series) #1 (June 1997)
• in Mikke Mus 60 år 1928-1988 (Hjemmet, 1988 series) #[nn] ([november] 1988)
which is reprinted
o in Carl Barks 100 år - jubileumshefte (Egmont Serieforlaget, 2001 series) #[nn] ([april] 2001)
• in Walt Disney's Mickey and Donald (Gladstone, 1988 series) #17 (March 1990)
• in The Carl Barks Library (Another Rainbow, 1983 series) #6 (May 1990)
• in Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures in Color (Gladstone, 1994 series) #5 (May 1994)
which is reprinted
o in Barks Library Special - Donald Duck (Egmont Ehapa, 1994 series) #5 (1995)
• in Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse and Uncle Scrooge - Free Comic Book Day (Gemstone, 2004 series) #[nn] (June 2004)
Given its high guide value (9.2=2400) the census is a bit light though there is a single 9.6 leading the census. This copy is 6th best of the fifteen graded to date. 12/12 I originally bought this un graded from Heritage Auctions as a F-.
