Disclose Notes: Likely authors of this story are Del Connell or Bob Ogle. Connell wrote issue #2, while Ogle wrote a number of the ones that followed. Mickey's use of the word "Ug!" (page 14, panel 1) possibly points to Bob Ogle as writer.

An unprecedented-for-the-time, combining of characters from the usually-separate "Paul Murry Mickey Mouse Comics Universe" and the "Carl Barks Donald Duck Comics Universe" in one huge, event-level 32-page story. This would be the hallmark of the Phantom Blot series for its entire seven-issue run.
