“The Phantom Blot Meets Super Goof” — First Appearance of Super Goof (Prototype Version)
Before the peanut-powered superhero version took over the spinner racks later in ’65, Goofy’s first-ever stab at being a caped crime-fighter happened right here — a full 32-page western spoof starring Mickey, the Blot, and an overconfident Goofy in a homemade cape. A key issue for Disney collectors, Paul Murry completists, and fans of that weird, lawless era when Gold Key let the licensed books get strange in the best way.
Cover: Paul Murry — bold lime green field, classic thick-line Murry cartooning, and Goofy mid-leap in full “G-emblazoned suit.” Disney western chaos at its finest.
Main Feature – “The Phantom Blot Meets Super Goof” (32 pages)
• Script: Del Connell
• Art: Paul Murry (pencils, inks, letters)
• First appearance of Super Goof — not yet powered by goobers, just pure delusion and a cape
• Mickey & Chief O’Hara team up; Blot tries to become the most infamous outlaw in Arizona history
• Includes Gyro Gearloose cameo + western set pieces & slapstick physics
Extras:
• 1-page Blot gag strip: “Oh, What a Tangled Rope We Wield!”
• Full-color back cover pin-up — same image as the front, logo-free, ready for the wall
• No ads — full 36 pages of comic content, a Gold Key signature move
VG (4.0) — Solid mid-grade with strong color retention and a clean, uncreased back cover pin-up. Interior pages are supple, light cream. Spine shows light ticks and tiny stress at staples; lower-right front corner shows rounding. No writing, no major stains, and the cover gloss is still lively for a 60-year-old Disney book. Structurally sound, presents above grade — a great shelf copy for a key oddball Disney first.
