"He’s here at last - Mickey’s 25th-century time-traveler pal, Eega Beeva! With his wicked wit, wild future-world customs, and hold-anything “magic pocket,” Eega is a wild card like Mickey’s never met. But Mickey and Eega will both have to get wild to save Mouseton from the Rhyming Man... a poetic master spy with an arsenal of chemical weapons! Artist Floyd Gottfredson teamed up with classic Disney writer Bill Walsh to create Eega Beeva and the Rhyming Man - and challenge daring, discombobulated Mickey with them both! With friends like Eega, after all, Mickey barely needs enemies. When the “Man of Tomorrow” isn’t eating pigeon feathers or adopting a college-educated ape, he’s giving a mental complex to Goofy - who refuses to believe that time-travelers exist! Restored from Disney’s original proof sheets, Rise of the Rhyming Man also includes more than 20 pages of futuristic extras! You’ll enjoy rare behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity material, and fascinating commentary by hi-tech Disney historians! Walt Disney often said that his studio’s success “all started with a Mouse” - and today Mickey is among the world’s most recognizable icons. Now it’s time to rediscover the wild, unforgettable personality behind the icon: Floyd Gottfredson’s Mickey Mouse."
