Mickey first appeared in comics after he had appeared in 15 commercially successful animated shorts and was easily recognized by the public.
Walt Disney was approached by King Features Syndicate with the offer to license Mickey and his supporting characters for use in a comic strip. Disney accepted and Mickey made his first comic strip appearance on January 13, 1930. The comical plot was credited to Disney himself, art to Ub Iwerks and inking to Win Smith.

Minnie soon became the first addition to the cast. The strips first released between January 13, 1930, and March 31, 1930, has been occasionally reprinted in comic book form under the collective title "Lost on a Desert Island".

In early 1930, after Iwerks' departure, Disney was at first content to continue scripting the Mickey Mouse comic strip, assigning the art to Win Smith. However, Disney's focus had always been in animation and Smith was soon assigned with the scripting as well. Smith was apparently discontent at the prospect of having to script, draw, and ink a series by himself as evidenced by his sudden resignation.

Disney then searched for a replacement among the remaining staff of the Studio. He selected Floyd Gottfredson, a recently hired employee, who accept his new assignment. Disney had to assure him the assignment was only temporary and that he would eventually return to animation. Gottfredson accepted and ended up holding this "temporary" assignment from May 5, 1930, to November 15, 1975.

In 40s Mickey Mouse started appearing, as well as in the Comic stripes, also in comic books and pocket magazines, like the Walt Disney's Comics and Stories.
Initially the published stories were reprints of Gottfredson stripes, often redesigned in some points to make them less violent.
At the beginnings of 50s, started publishing inedited stories, drew by artists like Paul Murry, who was catted the man of the mouses because he was the most important author of American comics of Mickey Mouse.
