Mickey Mouse 500 and the Mysterious Butterfly

Issue 500 of "Topolino" , released in 1965, is considered one of the most legendary and sought-after comics by Italian collectors, especially for an unusual feature: the presence of a real butterfly inside. This special edition was created to celebrate the milestone of the 500th issue of the magazine, which was already an institution in the Italian comics scene.

But not all butterflies are the same. The version with the black butterfly, in particular, is considered a real gem. Collectors are willing to shell out significant sums, and some copies of Topolino 500 with the butterfly can exceed 500 euros in value!

Why a butterfly? The choice to include this curious element in the album was not just an editorial operation, but a true tribute to biodiversity and nature, making each copy unique. The charm of this issue, between iconic stories and curiosities, makes it even more special for fans.

If you are a comic book collector, keep your eyes peeled: a Topolino 500 with black butterfly could be the treasure you have been looking for!
