Horace Horsecollar - in Comics

In Comics

Horace has never really been more than a supporting character, though he has starred in numerous European comic book stories of his own. In these, he plays a much bigger role than elsewhere, accompanying Mickey on his adventures or acting as Clarabelle Cow's paramour and fiance. Clarabelle and Horace were engaged in the comics according to some 1931 and 1932 continuities, but neither ever followed through.

Some modern European-made stories with Horace as star character were published in the United States by Gemstone from 2003–2008, including

• "King of the Bungaloos" (Walt Disney's Comics and Stories 635, 2003)
• "World's Greatest Horace" (WDC&S 641, 2004)
• "Spinning Gold" (Mickey Mouse 266, 2004)
• "Horace's Travails" (MM 268, 2004)
• "Driving Clarabelle Buggy" (WDC&S 651, 2004)
• "All Aboard the Blunder Bus" (WDC&S 652, 2005)
• "Blockheads" (WDC&S 656, 2005)
• "High Horace" (WDC&S 692, 2008)
• "'Tis Better to Give Than to Deceive" (Christmas Parade 5, 2008)

Though produced in Denmark, these Horace stories were written by Americans: Stefan Petrucha, Sarah Kinney, and Don Markstein. Horace is also a very common co-star in modern Mickey comics by these writers.
