It is baller as hell to get Pérez on the cover here.

I feel like I didn't see a ton of Mighty Mouse cartoons as a kid--although I'm pretty sure I watched Heckle & Jeckle at least occasionally, so I don't see how I would've missed it...? Also, here's a book I never expected to find cheap, if only because I'm not sure the sales were ever huge for it. From 1991, Mighty Mouse #5, "The Final Fate of the Flashback!" Written by Michael Gallagher, pencils by Ernie Colón, inks by Marie Severin. Cover by Ernie Colón and the great George Pérez, a parody of Crisis on Infinite Earths #12.

Shoot, Pérez also did the cover for the previous issue, a riff on Crisis #7, with a ton of cartoon characters I'm not sure Marvel had the rights to...This issue would conclude the two-issue "Mices on Infinite Earths," as Mighty Mouse tries to come back after the death of Mighty Mousette, who perished in battle with the Anti-Minotaur. Knowing he was no match for the Anti-Minotaur and his own alternate universe counterpart Mangy Mouse; MM was forced to get help, including his buddy Bat-Bat, Prince Samor the Sub-Plotter from a previous issue, and old foe the Cow, from back "in the Bakshi days!"

Mighty Mouse had been somehow sidetracked last time, leading to Mighty Mousette's death; and the other heroes might be going the same way, as they get shellacked by the Anti-Minotaur while MM fought Mangy Mouse. The Minotaur pulls one more rabbit out of his hat--well, not a rabbit, but another, earlier mouse: the original Supermouse! I really wonder if Marvel cleared any of this with legal...Supermouse destroys the Anti-Minotaur's planet, and Mighty Mouse races to save the other heroes before they were sucked out of the universe. His power used up, MM was done for, but is saved by Supermouse, who disappears again, just before he can help Anti-Minotaur. The Minotaur puts all the heroes back, with no memory of what happened, except for Mighty Mouse and his super-memory, who would always remember Mighty Mousette.

Also this issue: yet another parody of Keaton-era Bat-Mania, with Bat-Bat in "Everyone's a Critic!" (Written by Mike Kanterovich and Tom Brevoort, pencils by Mike Kazelah, inks by Marie Severin.) As the much-hyped sequel "Bat-Bat 2" opens, the hero receives a threatening note, claiming his pic would close in two weeks! Bat-Bat suspects the villainous Brushtop...who seems familiar somehow, as do his henchmen Highbrow and Turtleneck! Bat-Bat catches them trying to replace stars on Hollywood Boulevard with their own; which may be the most meta joke in the whole thing; but are they who sent the note...? No, and you'll never guess; don't try.
