Golden Age Version
The original Three Mouseketeers were published in DC's humor series Funny Stuff, first appearing in Funny Stuff #1 (Summer 1944).
The series was a loose parody of the classic Alexander Dumas novel The Three Musketeers. In this case, the lead swordsmice were named Aramouse, Amouse, and Porterhouse (with young accomplise D'Artagmouse), and had various adventures while serving King Looey XIV.
The series ran in Funny Stuff until approximately 1948, after which the characters remained unseen for years. The Mouseketeers were revisited in a 1982 Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew time-travel storyline in which it's revealed the Mouseketeers are historical figures in Earth-C's version of France during the 17th century.

Famous quotes containing the words golden age, golden, age and/or version:
“The golden age, when rambunctious spirits were regarded as the source of evil.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“But when the bowels of the earth were sought,
And men her golden entrails did espy,
This mischief then into the world was brought,
This framed the mint which coined our misery.
...
And thus began th’exordium of our woes,
The fatal dumb-show of our misery;
Here sprang the tree on which our mischief grows,
The dreary subject of world’s tragedy.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
