Answers.Text: Is querent asking for references to chess in comics, "The obscurer, the merrier"? Or does he insist on only hearing about two such references, the Disney story and the scifi story? Hard to tell from the question. - Perhaps @Hauke will care to clarify this point.

  <p>I would need no help in compiling a list of chess movies or even chess literature scenes. Comics, though, are a more fleeting medium, and here a list would be much harder to come by.

  <p>a) a Mickey and Goofy adventure. They have to solve a chess problem. Goofy being Goofy inadvertently misplaced a piece, leading to a wrong solution and the good old ACME trapdoor.</p>
  <p>b) a SF in a B/W magazine (Eerie or Creepy would be my first guess), where chess is never even mentioned, but as a FM, I immediately recognized the spaceship formations as executing a smothered mate (metaphorical plot relevance alert!).</p>

Comments.Text: I don't know about the Mickey and Goofy and story, but generally you can find several chess related Disney comics by searching for "chess" at the international Disney comics index at inducks.org. In particular I think you would be interested in the story "Chess Nuts" from 2014 (not published in English) which is created with help from Magnus Carlsen. https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2014-047

Comments.Text: Maybe it can be identified (I'm connected to several Disney comics experts) if you can say a bit more about its publication. If you've read it probably you know that it has been published in a certain country in a certain interval of years.

  I don't know if this suits your question. Here is a recent reference in a [web comic.](http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2021/03/04/1251-pony/) Sandra and Woo by Novil and Powree.
