Notes: Cover code: 10027-211. First Gold Key issue. Continues from Dell Mickey Mouse 1952 series. On-sale date from 1962 Periodicals, Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

Despite being the first Gold Key issue, Mickey Mouse #85 exhibits no aspects of the "Early Gold Key Look" where all stories have rectangular dialogue balloons, wider gutters, and some have borderless panels while others have panels bordered by pastel-colored rectangles. Instead, the interior stories look similar to those in prior Dell issues. The only exception to this is the Gyro Gearloose one-pager on the inside back cover which utilizes borderless panels and rectangular dialogue balloons.

The following issue, #86, would be the first issue of Mickey Mouse to exhibit the "Early Gold Key Look".

No ads in this issue. All 36 pages are comics or comics-related text material.
