Each issue of dummy looks at a different topic with the intent of conducting a deep examination of historical material and presenting rarely seen images, especially when it comes to creative process.  

The second issue of dummy looks at several notable examples of unauthorized (and inspired by) Mickey Mouse comics. It includes a deep dive into the notorious Air Pirates, with commentary by Dan O'Neil, Bobby London, Gary Hallgren, Ted Richards, Shary Flenniken and others, as well as rarely seen Air Pirates art and memorabilia. It also has an interviews with Robert Armstrong and his beloved Mickey Rat and Kaz about Creep Rat, and a look at the Mickey Tijuana Bibles and bootleg cartoons, Wally Wood's X-Rated Disneyland Memorial Orgy poster and even an interview with the legendary artist Stanley Mouse by the great Edwin "Savage Pencil" Pouncey!.

Designed by the renowned art director Jesse Reyes (The Rocket, The Village Voice, Guitar World, SLANT), this is a thing of beauty and is nearly 100 pages long and filled with RARE art and production materials. Printed on high quality paper with all new writing by me and some other, more famous, people.
