Disclose Notes: First appearance of Mitzi Mouse (Mighty Mouse's regular "girlfriend") and The Claw (Mighty Mouse's recurring foe). Despite her normal appearance as a brunette on the cover, Mitzi is a redhead in her first "story-appearance". The Claw also looks somewhat smaller and less intimidating than he would in future stories. The "St. John Mighty Mouse continuity" - which would carry through the entire St. John run, and even into some reprints seen in mid-1960s Gold Key issues - begins here.
